First, this is a stand alone read with a HEA (thank goodness). I LOVED this story. Such an eye opener. This book is a little different than the usual love story. This couple has been married for12 years with two young daughters. Sounds perfect Huh? Well, as with real life there are problems. First a very big misunderstanding leads to a lot issues. The wife thinks she sees one thing but it was not what she thought she saw and that leads to a lot of negative and creative thoughts. Then as a result of her thinking and her insecurities, it all goes down hill. As with most partners, rather than sitting down and just honestly talking, they withdraw and get further apart. Having married a non-communicator, I could sympathize with the heroine however, it gave you an inside his head look at what he was thinking. if she could have seen his thoughts this story would have been way different but he was unable to say them out loud.
The family goes on a month long vacation to a B&B owned by his brother and his wife. They are hardly speaking to each other, both holding anger and pain from the things going on in their lives. This is a very loving couple that is having so much angst in their relationship that she is willing to just throw it all away since she is not getting what she needs from her husband. It is not a sexual problem, it is an emotional one. The husband, as with a lot of men, is completely clueless. All his actions have deep rooted beliefs behind them, but they just don't work. He believes that he can SHOW his wife he loves her and that should be enough. He shouldn't have to say it out loud. By not communicating her imagination runs wild with what she THINKS he is thinking. Down Hill we go until there is almost no bottom. I loved this story. It is so real in a world of fiction. Lucky for these two they have a lot of growth, understanding, forgiveness and love. In real life I don't think it works out that way very often. Both parties need to be willing to accept their shortcomings and then work to overcome them. At the root of all of that has to be a profound love for the other one. this is a great story and every newlywed as well as old married couples should be required to read it. Being a fly on the wall and seeing where they were going wrong was so true to life that it is scary. A great read and one I DEFINITELY recommend.
I was not paid for this review. I am not an author nor do I know one. I am not kin to this writer. I am a reader and this is my opinion, nothing more, nothing less. 11/21/17
