Some people are blessed to find that one certain person who completes them.
Wrynn’s yesterdays were what others only dream of having. She and Tripp were the best of friends before they even thought about love. They had the fairy tale life where ‘like’ turns into ‘love’, and ‘love’ becomes ‘happily ever after’.
What happens when life conspires against you, and snatches your soul mate from your arms?
…only her forever love ended much too soon.
Broken beyond her own ability to repair, Wrynn boxes up her grief and attempts to raise her three girls the best she can on her own. As time slowly passes, Wrynn relives her life with Tripp while struggling most days to get out of bed. She is reminded of him at every turn.
How do you set your grief and anguish aside? How do you pick up the shattered pieces, put those pieces back together again, and try to move on?
Wrynn tries to find the joy in life every single day through her daughters, family, and friends. Her twin brother Liam has dedicated himself to helping Wrynn put her life back together after losing his own love. On the other hand, her mother-in-law lives to torment her at every turn. Wrynn can't even find a chance to breathe, much less a desire to somehow search for her tomorrow.
Excerpt:
“Wrynn.” His whisper broke the silence. That one anguished
word brought me to my feet and forward, into his arms. I had no doubt this was
where I should be–sheltered, enveloped, protected. Loved.
I felt the flex of his muscles when his arms squeezed me
tighter. My face burrowed into his chest as I tried to get closer to the heat
pouring from his body. His mouth dipped to my ear as he whispered his love for
me, and his promise of forever. He apologized for leaving me when he knew I
needed him and told me that he would always be there for me.
I turned my head and sought reassurance that he spoke the truth.
His lips met mine. Time stopped, and a fire that I had never before felt burned
through me. This was no soft, gentle kiss. This was a kiss filled with hunger
and desperation. The need flowed between us as I opened my lips beneath his.
Our tongues danced together and as Tripp drew my body closer to his, a deep
longing-filled moan drew up from the depths of my being. The world around us
disappeared as I cleaved urgently to the man who had claimed my very soul.
This was the kiss that I had always longed for. The kiss that
marked me as his. The kiss that spoke to me.

This book made me happy and sad, euphoric and despondent. So many emotions go through you while reading this. I don't know if I would have Wrynn's courage to pick up and start again, truly, I don't. This was a difficult read for me because it was so emotional. I loved that she had found her soul mate, but hated when that life and future was wrenched away. I'd like to slap that Mother-In-Law across the face a few times for her treatment of Wrynn, and I'm glad that she had her brother, Liam, there for her to help. I loved that she called their children her three heartbeats. Get this book and sit down for an emotional ride. Be prepared with a fresh box of tissues and get comfy. I can't believe this is Katie's first book, it's just such a great book.
If you are reading this, I think you should know that
"About me" sounds so very pretentious to me. I guess that is what I
am supposed to write about, so here it goes!
Kathryn is a simple country girl who likes to spend time
with her hubba, hunka hubby, her three kids and her friends. She loves to cook
and really loves to eat! During the spring and summer, you will more than
likely find her outside puttering around in her garden. When the veggies start
coming in, she will probably be sweating over a hot canner in the kitchen,
canning all the goodies she is blessed with. Kathryn likes to hike and go
camping, and as a Girl Scout leader, she gets to do this pretty often! On cold
winter nights, you will probably find her wrapped in a warm blanket, lost in a
good book, while sitting in her rocking chair on the front porch!
Kathryn was born and raised in North Carolina, and while
she loves to travel, she can't imagine ever leaving the mountains that she has
come to call home. Not a day goes by that Kathryn doesn't thank God for
abundantly blessing her. He has been so good to her, and she is very grateful.
She holds Jeremiah 29:11 very close to her heart and believes it with every
fiber of her being. "For I know the plans I have for you," declares
the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you
hope and a future."
Kathryn loves flip flops, chocolate, sweet tea and dirt between
her toes. As far back as she can remember, she's had a book in her hand.
Reading has carried her to places she will never go. It has introduced her to
people that she will never meet. When life is great and when it is rough, she's
always been able to find a book to carry her through. She finally decided to
write down some of the stories in her head (yes, be scared) and heart after
dawdling around and wasting years dreaming. She hopes you enjoy reading those
stories as much as she loves writing them!
