Resumen del Editor

On the northeast side of town, there is a house.

The house was once magical, filled with love and joy and plans for the future. Inside its walls are many things that belong to me - my books, the china from my mother on my wedding day, the beautiful cage once home to two birds, now empty, just like me.

And a man. A man who also belongs to me. A man I no longer wish to keep. A man who, no doubt, has not slept, though the sun is rising. Because the house where he waits is where I laid my head to rest every night for eight years. Until last night.

No one who knows me would believe Charlie Pierce, the quiet, bookish girl who never made waves, is pulling out of the driveway of a man who isn’t her husband. But they don’t know me at all. I don’t even know me. Not anymore.

They say there are two sides to every story, and I suppose in most cases, that’s true. But the one I live inside of? It has three.

On the northeast side of town, there is a house. But there is no longer a home.

So much heartbreak

There is so much heartbreak and turmoil in this book. I can’t say I like the cheating aspect of it and I dint agree with it, but I do understand it. I cannot imagine the pain that any of these characters are going through and I feel for each of them.

Wow!

Just a fair warning I wouldn’t recommend listening to this in public. I cried throughout this book. This story just completely broke my heart. I know the cheating aspect may turn readers off but there is just so much more to the story, so I recommend giving it a chance. You truly feel and can understand everyone’s side of the story. It is not black and white story.

Your heart will break for all of these characters who are all going through something and trying to find peace.

The narration was superb! Honestly probably elevated the story with all the emotion.

I can not recommend this book enough. I am ready for book two!

I LOVED IT, I HATED IT!!!

I really don't know what to think about this book. I enjoyed it at times but then I hated it at times.

Well written

FIRST OF ALL, if you haven't read/listened this book yet, DO NOT, I repeat, DO FREAKING NOT look at the blurb for the spin off (book 3) that is included in the series list with this DUET. That's right, DU-freaking-ET, meaning two. The blurb gives the entire ending away for this duet and although it is still good to see how they got to the ending, knowing ahead of time which of the men she will choose is not cool.

4.5 stars. I really enjoyed this book. I liked how well written it was and that even though there was cheating and such, it was done in a heart wrenching way. I really felt for Charlie in her situation. When I finished, I was almost not wanting to continue to book two to find out how everything turns out....Almost.

Audible: I added the whispersync audible narration to this kindle book. There were three narrators. One for each POV. The male narrators were totally fine. They had nice voices and were easy to listen to. The female narrator was...unique. I had to restart the book multiple times because I had a hard time getting used to her voice and I was a bit dumbfounded. She was very breathy and almost moan-y sounding. She legit sounded like an adult actress. Once I got used to her voice, I was able to listen to her just fine, save my smirks each time her POV chapters started again. Especially since it was the most prominent when she was saying "Charlie" at the beginning of each of her chapters. All that aside, I enjoyed the audio well enough.

Re-Read-One of my Favs

Re-Read (2019) The third book in the series was being released, so I wanted to re-read the first two books. I NEVER re-read, but I previously received an ARC of both books one and two. For certain authors/publicities there is a very short turnaround for reviews. Sometimes I feel like I am rushing through a story to get it up in time. Also, being a mood reader, I am not always in the mood to read a book that quickly. That seems to be the case for this one as I loved this more than I remember. I feel like I missed so much that happened, so I was happy to jump back into these characters. This was so much more heartbreaking than I remember. Kandi Steiner did a great job pulling you into the emotions of the characters. This deals with so much more than cheating. This deals with love, loss, fertility, and more. I am excited to re-read the second book and the new book release now!

captivating

I loved it. I can't wait to see where this story goes. excuse me while I start book 2

Hot emotional roller coaster ride.

Be prepared to spend 2 credits going into this emotional journey because you'll want to know how it ends.
This concludes with unmade decisions and I have a feeling no one will come out emotionally unscathed. With two men hanging in the balance, it's up to Charlie to decide what direction her life will take. From the awesome writing to a dream team of narrator's this was one credit worthy listen.

A soul searching, aching, love book duo

This book duo is a soul searching, heart wrenching, changing, epic love story not to be missed. Worth every emotional roller coaster, an epic journey of the heart!

romantic twist

it's rare to find a romance story where a marriage is featured so prominently. I'm really enjoying these audios and looking forward to the conclusion.

LOVED

Whew, I finished this whole duet in a day. I had to know what was happening.

Charlie, Reese, and Cameron brought the angst, pain, and sweats. I truly was questioning a lot.

•love triangle
•cheating
•TW: child loss

Man, it truly hurt at times to read everything Charlie goes through. I loved how I truly struggled picking a favorite guy. Most love triangles I have a clear favorite, but this one took some time.

If you love angst, sweats, tears - this is for you!
