Summary

Love is the last thing on Jack Harrington's mind when he sets out to meet Andi Walsh's flight. Recently back to work after spending more than a year tending to his comatose wife, Jack is focused on getting through each day and caring for his three daughters. However, the moment he sets eyes on Andrea Walsh, the interior designer who has come to decorate the hotel his company is building in Newport, Rhode Island, Jack begins to wonder if Andi might be his second chance. After a disastrous marriage, Andi, single mom to a hearing-impaired son, isn't exactly looking for love, either, but that's what she finds with Jack.

The two embark on a long-distance relationship fraught with challenges as they balance the needs of their children and dueling careers while Jack continues to care for his wife, Clare. Just when Jack thinks his life is once again settled, he is confronted with a new challenge that tests him in ways he never could've imagined, leaving him to wonder if "happily ever after" is in the cards for him.

Good story but struggled with the morl's of a lot

Although I enjoyed the story and the author's writing I have to say as a Christian I was completely against Jack's actions with Andy. When you agree to marry someone you promise to commit to them in sickness and in health till death do you part. I accept Clare was in a coma and not expected to recover however Jack made a commitment to her when marrying her and should have honoured that commitment.

The fact of the matter is Clare was alive despite being in a coma so Jack was still having an affair, one character I do respect was Bettie Andy's mother for taking a stand she was completely write to be against Jack and Andy's actions.

One thing I did not like about this story was the way all the other characters easily accepted the relationship between Jack and Andy. Jill however was not easily convinced.

Clare waking up was a fantastic twist in the story and to be honest was expected or it would have made Jack and Andy's road easier. I commend Clare for the selfless choice she made for Jack however Clare had huge secrets she'd kept from Jack also. Well I did like this story a lot as a Christian I could not agree with the actions by a lot of the characters. I am however looking forward to clare's story in the next book and learning more about the other characters.

Wow

What an emotionally beautiful story. This book broke my heart. So sad but uplifting too. Once you start you can’t stop reading and listening until you finish. Perfect narration too
