COULDN'T put it DOWN!!!!!!!!!!

Once I started this book, I could not put it down. It was great I loved the flashback, I could totally relate to this story! I finished in one day. This is my first book buy this Author I will be reading many more! MY one and only complaint.............. IT WAS TOO SHORT!

This review refers to the audiobook

This was a nice, fast paced story of reconciliation, healing and forgiveness. The meant-to-be type of romance between soulmates appeals to my hopelessly romantic heart, and I especially like the mature way Marnie stood up against her parent's controlling manipulativeness, leaving the door open for acceptance and a loving resolution.

Highly enjoyable read

Once I started reading this book, I found it hard to put down. Delinsky uses a great mix of romance, drama and even a bit of comedy. The main characters had interesting careers (one a corporate CEO and the other a famous photographer) and a tragically intertwined past. I like how Marni stands up to her father when she realizes Brian is the thing she wants even more than her powerful job running the family business - which she was basically pushed into after the tragic death of her brother, in an accident that left Brian severely wounded. Love conquers all in this story and it brings a smile to my heart.

great!
