Jonathan Kelly had planned for a week of fun with the boys before heading back to Afghanistan. He never expected to fall in love.
Naturally beautiful, and funny, Emily wasn’t like any woman he had ever known. She brought a smile to the face of everyone that met her. To Jonathan, she was perfect. Pure light. He knew the day he met her that he had met the only woman he would ever love.
Emily Jacobs wasn’t prepared for Jonathan to walk into her life. She wasn’t ready to have this man rock her to her core when nearly every other man in her past had been such a disappointment. The instant connection she felt with this handsome, kind Marine was unlike anything she had ever experienced.
Emily wants nothing more than to give herself to him, but can she get past the barrier that could keep them apart?
She has a secret so big that she’s sure it will shatter everything they have together; this rare connection that they’ve forged in just one short week.
So Emily is left with one of the biggest decisions of her life.
Trust him or walk away?

Review

When Emily agrees to go on vacation with her girlfriends she never expected Jonathan a guy who was gonna serve in Afghanistan in a week. She and Jonathan hit it off right away and Jonathan is hoping he will have Emily to come back to but she refuses to commit or even tell him why. Five years have passed and Jonathan has lost a lot in his life but when the woman of his dreams walks back in the bar and kisses and hugs his fellow coworker Mick he sees red. When Emily sees him and comes to say hello he is very stiff with her not the same guy she knew and she feels really bad. Eventually she and Jonathan are in the same vicinity and she gets a chance to explain herself and try as he might he begins to soften towards Emily. This is a story of a lot of ups and downs and heartbreak and I felt myself tearing up sometimes but reading the struggles they both had really made this story stick with you I just loved it! – Reviewed by Linda Rea
