Publisher's summary

Julie Barenson's young husband left her two unexpected gifts before he died - a puppy named Singer and the promise that he would always be watching over her. Now, four years later, 29-year-old Julie is far too young to have given up on love. She may be ready to risk caring for someone again. But who?

Should it be Richard Franklin, the sophisticated, handsome engineer who treats her like a queen? Or Mike Harris, the down-to-earth nice guy who was her husband's best friend? Choosing one of them should bring her more happiness than she's had in years. Instead, Julie is soon fighting for her life in a nightmare spawned by chilling deception and jealousy so poisonous that it has become a murderous desire....

The ending made me sad and mad

This was a great story, but was like a predictable horror movie. I found myself yelling while listening to the story telling the characters they were making bad decisions, how could they not see what would happen. The character development was great and I fell in love with Mike and Julie. Singer was my favorite character in the book. As my headline said the ending made me angry. I understand why it ended the way it did but wish there could have been a happier way.

Loved this plot and twists and turns. A bittersweet ending.

His books never disappoint from beginning to end. A beautiful love story about friends, family, and not only human bonds, but the loyal bonds between pets and humans.

The Guardian (Unabridged)

This was one of the best books to which I have listened. Not only is Nicholas Sparks a great writer but the narrator is one of the best as well. This is a must have for everyone.
