I also liked how this book wasn't super smut heavy. That honestly feels like a breath of fresh air personally because in my opinion I feel like there's a lot of books at the moment that have more smut than actual plot and emotional connections but that's just a personal opinion, to each their own. Overall I really liked this and would definitely recommend.

This story is beautiful. It is all about finding love in unexpected places and rebuilding your life after a life-altering tragedy. Bree and Eason's lives have been turned upside down, not only by the loss of their spouses, but by what they find out after the fact. As they grapple with their new normal and struggle to cope, they form an unshakable bond.
I really loved Bree and Eason together. Their relationship had an unconventional start, but it understandable how two people could form such a strong bond under such traumatic circumstances. They were each other's strength and supporting shoulder through everything. I adored the family dynamic and how they embraced each other's children as their own. I LOVED their open communication and how they talked about going to therapy.
Going into this book, I didn't realize there was a bit of mystery/thriller element. Once I caught on that was the route the book was heading, the big surprise wasn't really that shocking, but it was an interesting twist.
The story isn't super believable, but it was a well written and emotional book. It did seem like there was a bit too much going on with
