This is a great second chance romance story. It is romantic and gut wrenching in the same book. Roxie Montgomery and Carter Marshall start off this newest book married. There is a sense right away that their marriage is in trouble. Carter is burned in a fire saving Roxie's sister. The tension between Carter in Roxie is palpable. When Carter gets home from the hospital, he notices divorce papers sitting out. What has Roxie done? Carter becomes even more cut off from Roxie. He loves her but is love enough? Roxie feels the same way. Is love enough to keep them together. They both have stopped talking to each other by this point. They are living together but living separate lives. Carter decides to move out and give Roxie what she wants. Carter doesn't realize that Roxie doesn't know if she wants that. After a date with another woman, Carter decides he can not live without Roxie. He will do whatever he needs to do to make this second chance work. Roxie and Carter both grow so much in this story. The heartbreak they experience to lead to their silent relationship moved me to tears. This was a great story that I will take with me for a long time.
