Description
She’s in love with her sister’s killer…
Lauren has loved Luke since first grade. They planned to marry—until he murdered her sister. The moment he was sentenced to prison, Lauren fled with her secret baby and made a new life. Now she’ll do anything to keep their daughter safe. But her hard won peace shatters when Luke is exonerated, and it sets her on a path of mixed emotions to discover the truth. Letting a killer into their tightly knit family is out of the question. Or is it?
She almost destroys her life by threatening his…
Prison stole his future with Lauren and twelve years of Luke’s life, so the last thing he needs from her is a knife in the back or a gun in his face. Lauren believes he killed her sister, and he has no plans to pick up where they left off. Luke can’t afford to trust her, but he wants nothing more than to convince her he’s worth fighting for.
Their daughter is in danger…
Luke is heartbroken when he learns they had a child together. Now his daughter is in danger. Lauren trusted the wrong person for far too long, but he hopes she’ll now trust him. Luke will risk everything to keep them safe. And Lauren will risk everything if she lets him into her heart. AMAZON LINK
I knew going in that this was going to be a different kind of story. It was one of the things that kind of caught my attention. It was an emotional story of course. And it had good flash-backs between the past and current time for both Luke and Lauren. That's not always well done but here in this book, it was.
I have to say that I was 100% Team Luke pretty quickly. He was written in such a way that you could FEEL his confusion, despair and losses. And the hits of unfairness just seemed to keep coming. For a while at least. But hang on, it's not all depressing when it comes to the story.
I have to admit I had a problem with Lauren. Hey, I got that she was emotional and somewhat confused as well. But she was so hard-headed even when presented with some of the true facts of Luke's case. I just "might" have muttered under my breath a few times. Like, "T.S.T.L., what a brat" as I tossed my kindle down a few times. I just hated how she treated Luke like crud. She certainly did have quite the unique way of greeting Luke when she saw him after his release. Now, that was a surprise! One thing I couldn't fault her on was that she loved her daughter Laramie and she was a good mother.
Lauren's boss Brian Wimberly is a good addition to the story. He kind of keeps the general hysteria down in a good but mostly unemotional way.
A good amount of tension is kept up in the story leading up to a dangerous twist towards the end.
