Is love really enough to put the past where it belongs?
Lana Washington chooses to hide. She hides from life. Hides from her abusive ex-husband. From the fact that everyone she loves eventually she loses, but when Lana’s house catches fire she is forced out of the predictable comfort her life has become.
Jake Weston had led a simple life, ever since he was called home from war for a family emergency four years ago, leaving only him and Hallie. Then one phone call throws his neatly-pieced world upside down.
Jake wasn’t supposed to be there. This wasn’t his problem. But as soon as those piercing green eyes focused in on him, he knew he was done for.
Can Jake hold onto his secret, all the while still holding onto Lana?
Will Lana be able to let go of the past and the hurt that binds her to her lonely existence?
Or will one small white lie ruin it all?

This is the third book in the series and I think you need to
read them in order to really understand what is happening and how everyone is
connected. This book is about facing the
things that happened in your past and figuring out how to move forward. Realizing that you can’t change what
happened. Finding that one person who
makes realize that you want to learn how to move forward and find a way to have
a future with that person. Jake is in
the Army and lost his wife 4 years ago.
He is a single father who hasn’t even dated anyone in the last four
years. Lana has recently gotten away
from and divorced her abusive husband.
Lana and Jake meet when Jake’s friend rescues Lana from her house that
has caught on fire. Jake’s friend calls
him and tells him to come help him. He can’t
be caught there. He wants Jake to say he
rescued Lana. When Lana opens her eyes
Jake feels this overwhelming urge to protect her and be near here. They have a one night stand and don’t think
they will ever see each other again.
Three months later when Jake takes his daughter to her first day of
school he is surprised to find that Lana is his daughter’s teacher. Lana can’t believe her eyes when she sees
Jake dropping his daughter off in her classroom. They haven’t stopped thinking about each
other for the last three months. This is
where the story takes off. Lana is still
finding herself after everything that happened with her ex-husband. Jake learned to go after what he wanted in
the army and to never give up. Lana
feels like she loses anyone she loves and is scared to love Jake and his
daughter and then lose them. Will Lana
take and chance on Jake? Will Jake be
able to convince Lana to give him a chance?
I love this whole series. This
book was just as great as the first two books in this series. The characters have been through so much but
they find a way to overcome it and move forward. They don’t give up sometimes they need help
from their friends and family to see what they have to could have. I love that you get to read about the
characters in the previous book in the future ones. I can’t wait to read the next book when it
comes out. Stephanie is a great
author. She writes wonderful stories
with fantastic characters. The characters
pull you and make you wish that they were real so you could maybe friends with
them. I can’t say enough about Stephanie
and her books.
