Publisher's summary

I never saw him coming.

I didn’t know what would happen after my client found me sleeping in my car.

I’d been cleaning his house as his wife was dying.

I didn’t expect them to invite me to live with them.

I didn’t expect Suzie to become my lifeline—until she was gone.

I didn’t expect him to ask me to marry him when he found out I needed medical insurance.

I didn’t expect to fall in love with a grieving man.

There are so many reasons to keep my distance from Zach. Every tender moment secreted away.

When we’re not together, I miss the man I call husband.

Does he miss his wife? If so, which one?

Get your soul ready for this one

This story tore me up! There were lots of ups and downs, and laughs and tears. Although I did feel a little frustration with the main characters back-and-forth indecisive feelings that they did, and didn’t share. I’m sure this will be one of those books that I wish I could read for the first time over again 

Pulled at every heartstrings

This audiobook had a chokehold on me during every minute of listening to it!
It’s full of emotional angst. There was sadness of suffering, of loss, of long distance love and for caring for someone so deeply. But also full of inspiration, to follow your dreams, to be honest with what you want in life or in a relationships, to understand your self worth and to always go for a second chance at love.

Check your trigger warnings
And dive into this beautiful story.

The chokehold this story had in me, from begging to very end

Loved the support of his family during his tragic time

Worth the time

Captivating and emotional story, really captured the grief and beauty of love, loss and love again.

Beautiful story!

I’d say instead of having the voice actors voice the different voices, have the female voice the female parts and the male voice the male parts

Didn’t want it to end!

Best I have read in a while. Very emotional story that I didn’t want to end. Narrators were fabulous!
