Nothing entirely earth shattering, but a great mix of romance and a thriller (although again, not a murdery thriller just a heart pounding story). Overall, very much an enjoyable read.

I have been a fan of Nicholas Sparks since book one. I had to take a break away because some of the stories broke my heart. They were too much. Thanks to Net Galley and this opportunity to get back into what I love about they way this author tells a story. Grips you from chapter one and leaves you hoping and wishing for a Happy Ever After. This book is no different. The writing is beautiful, the story is heartfelt. I was looking for available rooms at The Cesar as soon as I finished this book. I loved this story.

Reading two completely separate stories that do not come together until the very end of the book. One story is of Beverly the abused wife and the other is of Colby the farmer/want to be singer. Beverly is on the run with her son. Colby is on vacation in Florida and falling in love with a college girl. As a reader, you just keep trying to figure out how these two stories go together as they have nothing in common and it is not until chapter 59 of 68 that you start figuring it out.
Honestly, I thought Colby's character was pretty dull and flat. Beverly's story line was more interesting. Overall this book was just average.

Not my favorite book by Nicholas Sparks. I kept waiting for the two stories to twine together and I guessed part of the ending, but it felt like he took forever to get to the end. Definitely wouldn’t read it again.
