Is the hero going to play second fiddle to the husband? Is he going to feel like a consolation prize. I have to admit, set ups like this always make me hesitant. Ridden with guilt for his feelings for Sadia or not, he can't stay away from her anymore. He's shy, reserved, not good with words, and doesn't shy away from putting his feelings right in the open. This is a character driven story, and with that, the character development is truly incredible. āIād be the safest wrong thing you could do.ā But it's been a year since his estranged brother has passed, and he can't fight the urge to check up on his widow that he's always fought his feelings for. Accused of a crime he didn't commit, he left the town he grew up in and his family and hasn't looked back since. Jackson Kane has been running from his past for years. And while she lost her husband to a tragic accident, she has a beautiful son to remember him by. But she never regretted the choices she's made. The black sheep in her family, her shotgun wedding to her husband forced a rift with her very traditional parents. Sadia Ahmed has been through heartbreak in her life. This story, while slow paced, felt so vivid and genuine, that even though it took a bit to get into, I couldn't put it down for even a second. Characters that you feel like you may already know or run into on the street. Characters that are imperfect, but not for the sake of angst and drama. It's rare these days to find a romance novel with characters that are so authentic and real.
