SYNOPSIS:
Jake Oliver,
a typical guy, never expected to fall in love with his best friend’s girl. Jake
learned to love her from a far, he watched her constantly and supported her
endlessly.
Trish Wilson
thought she found the love of her life in Dylan, until tragedy struck and fate
decided for her when Dylan died in Afghanistan. Will she survive and get over
her fear to love again? Will she find her one? Will her heart ever truly heal?
The tragedy
that caused them great sadness also brought them together. Jake’s love for
Trish gave her the strength to overcome her fear to love again, while Trish’s
love pushed Jake past his guilt. However, when your soul mate’s life is at
stake, will they fold in fear or stand their ground? Will they fight to live or
prepare to give up? Will they allow fear to break them or will they let love
make them UNBREAKABLE.
“Though one may be overpowered by another, two
can withstand him.
And a
threefold cord is not quickly broken.” Ecclesiastes 4:12

Jake and Trish!! LOVED them! What more can I say? Trish lost her fiance in war, and Jake his best friend was there to pick up the pieces. He spent so much time watching Trish from the sidelines and finally had his chance to have the woman that was meant to be his.
Life doesn't work out the way we have planned. EVER. When we finally find things aligning perfectly, there is always a curve ball. Jake and Trish are thrown when Jake gets news that will change their lives and test their love. Trish has lost so much in her life, yet she feeds off of the love and strength that Jake gives her and straps on her big girl panties. My eyes were wet for most of this story. The love and friendships and hard times this crew went through tore my heart apart and mended it back together. I felt like I was a part of their story and I felt every emotion they all experienced. I really loved the concept and storyline!
I have one complaint with this book that kept me from giving it a 5 star rating. At times it was all over the place. Characters or past relationships would be mentioned, but it wasn't built upon. Sometimes I was confused if i missed something and thought maybe I was reading a book in a series and missed the previous story. It just felt like things were missing and parts were random and I had to figure things out on my own. Not a big deal though, because the storyline itself made sense. I could tell this story came from the author's personal experience, and honestly there is no better therapy or story than sharing your experiences, tragedies, and triumphs with the world. For that reason I gave this book 4 stars, and I am really looking forward to book two! This cliffhanger is going to drive me nuts, I am not going to lie!! :)

EXCERPT:
Trish
“Trish,
aren’t you going to sit down? Sorry, you
can’t get close to our boy, here,” Cody goads me, slapping Jake’s shoulder.
“That’s
okay, Cody. I don’t have to be close to him to get a hard reaction.” Putting
emphasis on ‘hard’ as I smirk at him.
Without
warning, the three boys take their shirts off, and I just about pass out. Well,
Tami and Roxy included. I blank out for
a while, not knowing what to do next.
Damn, I didn’t think of this.
Jake is now shirtless in front of me, my traitorous eyes instantly roam
to his chest, hard abs, broad shoulders and back to his chest. Holy crap!
“Cat
got your tongues, ladies?” Cody chuckles.
Oh no, no cat’s got my tongue! I’m
thinking more like my warm tongue wrapping around his hard pulsing dick! Shit!
I hate giving head, but my crazed-self strikes again! Best idea…ever!
Jake
never makes eye contact, in fact, he’s busy eating his food and talking to
Brian about some shit I can’t even understand, because at the moment, my mind
is not working properly. Roxy gives me
that you-better-do-something look, and that’s all it takes for me to go into
action mode.
Roxy
stands up and tells me to sit down right in front of Jake, while she takes the
seat next to me. This is perfect for what I have in mind. I show Roxy the banana I’m holding under the
table, and she gives me a small nod and smile.
I start peeling the banana, even before she gives me my signal to start Operation
Payback. Right on cue, she gives
me the opening I need.
“Trish,
you’re not going to eat?” She asks innocently.
“Nah,
I don’t feel too well,” I say.
Jake
looks at me with concern in his eyes, and what perfect timing. He falls for it, hook, line and sucker!
I put the banana very slowly in my mouth, pushing it as far as I could and
pulling it out ever so slowly, biting the tip off. I’m looking at Jake the whole time; his
reaction is priceless. It takes everything in me, not to laugh. Even the boys are silent; Cody is speechless
for a change. Three point shot right
here…bam!
“What’s
wrong boys, cat got your tongues?” Roxy hollers.
“Trish,
put the banana down!” Jake exclaims.
“I
want to eat it! What’s wrong with you? Do you want it?” I ask arching my brow.
“Jake,
pull your pants down, man! She’s playing dirty! Show her the power drill!” Cody
says, trying to coax Jake.
He ignores Cody, since he and I are in a stare down
duel, his slightly narrowed eyes locks on mine and his jaw is twitching. I now have in front of me, a very frustrated
Jake, who in my estimation is ready to blow a gasket anytime.
I’m a middle child, and no, I don’t suffer from the middle
child syndrome. According to my parents, I’m the craziest, and I think, my
husband and children agree with them.
Besides the births of my two children, my husband’s
successful transplant is one of the most memorable moments of my crazy life!
After dealing with two bouts of cancer, my husband served as an inspiration to
me and my children. I’m privileged to be married and go on this crazy ride, we
call life, with a man who doesn’t know the meaning of giving up.
I’m known as The Crazy Cat Lady, in the Wanted World. Am I
crazy? Well, the jury is still out on that one, but I’d like to think I can
make one person smile with my craziness.
