Synopsis

You can say I had it all. The fancy house, top of the line car, lots of friends and more money than anyone could ever imagine. On the outside, we were the perfect family. No one knew about my abusive father and my mother who drank herself into oblivion every night. My name is Karly and I have scars, deep scars that no one knows about, and when my parents died I was left alone and on my own, to fight through life with no help.

When it came to life and happiness, I had it all until my world was turned upside down. My name is Nicholas and my wife, the love of my life, left me and our new baby girl without as much as an explanation. I didn’t want to accept it, but after our divorce was final and four long years passed, I started to lose hope that she’d ever come back. Emma was growing so fast and I needed help. My sister recommended that I hire her friend, Karly, as Emma’s nanny. I took a chance on bringing another woman into my little girl’s life. Did I do the right thing? 

As many days and nights are spent together, feelings can no longer be denied and a relationship is formed.

Life is about taking chances and learning how to fall, but when the past comes back, will they be strong enough to fight through and trust each other? Or will all they worked for fall apart?

Review

 

“Life is all about living. You’re given one beautiful life and even though things don’t go your way you should never give up.”

                                                                                                                         ~ Karly’s Mom

 

Karly grew up with the world at her feet until it wasn’t.  When she was a teenager everything changed. Her life wasn’t what it seemed and it all turned really bad the night her parents died. Karly has scars and the ones on the outside do not even compare to the scars she carries on the inside. She lost it all when her parents died, her friends, her boyfriend and herself. That day was the worst day of her life even it is did stop the abuse she was receiving from them. Karly is a very complex character and there were times I didn’t understand her thinking but at the same time I have never been through what she had and I don’t know how I would react or what I would have done if I were her. She experiences so much loss for one person at such a young age. Neil her best friend/ex boy friend is leaving for a European trip. Karly is starting over in a new place and doesn’t even have a job yet. Thank goodness for Alexis who was like her mentor in college.

 

Nicholas had it all. I wife he loved and a beautiful baby girl. Until his wife decided that wasn’t the life she wanted and left. Nicholas lost himself when that happened and almost lost his baby girl too. When Nicholas decided to return back to North Carolina where his family still lived it was the best decision he made for not only himself but for Emma as well. That move eventually lead him to meeting Karly. Nicholas’ sister Alexis introduced them and Karly started working as Emma’s live in Nanny. Things progresses and eventually Karly and Nicholas fell in love.

 

There are a lot of hot moments in this book and also a lot of heart wrenching moments. I cried a few times while reading this book. There is a cliff hanger for those who need to know that but the next book is due out soon so you won’t have too long to wait. There are a lot of questions that I need answered.  This was a good read, well written and the twist at the end had me scratching my head trying to figure out what is really going on because not everything is as it seems.

 

I can’t wait for Vision of Destiny to come out so hopefully my questions are answered and I can see what happens with Nicholas, Karly and Emma.
