My heart broke for Beth Danube and her boys so many times. Sadly, only one of her secrets surprised me. And I mean sad, in the fact that I was on the money and they weren't happy secrets, not because they were predictable. They were very believable and a reality for too many.

Domestic abuse is never an easy subject, but I think it was handled well, with the actual events being offscreen. There were several references to the past events, but we were spared the details. I shed many a tear with just what was described.

While huge holes remained in her world, learning to retake control of her sexuality had finally made it toward the top of the to-do list. After years of dreading her husband’s touch, she needed to know if she could stand physical contact with a man.

I loved Daniel Coleman's patience as he and Beth traversed from a potential one-night stand to friends and more to everything.

Another relationship came to a foreseeable conclusion with a BANG. Meanwhile, the biggest secret of all came from an unsuspected source.

Overall, I really enjoyed this book. Daniel and Beth are fantastic together with a really good balance of friendship and passionate fun.

Like the first book, its primary focus may be on the couple at hand, but many get spotlighted. It's honestly my favorite kind of series, but it does mean you should read in order.
