However, Andrew is caught up in conflicting feelings of his own and when he finds himself faced with everything he never wanted, he desperately seeks answers.
I enjoyed this book very much. It was well written and had an interesting plot. I liked the characters and the interaction between them. I would recommend this to others who like a book without foul launguage, which for me ruins the whole story.
Wonderful book

This was one of my favorite books EVER!!! It was a great plot with tons of twists that kept me guessing. I was so drawn in to the book that everthing else was forgotten. It was like I was in a new world. The characters were amazingly done and seemed very real. This wasn't your typical LDS romance book, and was a great change. If you love LDS romance you have to read this book. I think it's one of the hardest books to put down that I've ever read. You will not regret buying this book! It's one you can read over and over again. It's definitly worth every cent!
Romantic, gripping, and just plain good!

Josi Kilpack has well-earned her spot as one of my favorite authors. In this book, she takes a storyline that might at first seem a little cliche, then puts some fantastic spins in it so you never know what's going to happen next. I was really impressed by her ability to keep me guessing all the way through the book. Her characters are believeable and as usual, I couldn't put it down until the very end.
The story was rich with conflict, resolution, loneliness and love

This was a fabulous book! I was immediately able to empathize with Emma and totally fall in love with Andrew. The characters stayed with me long after I closed the book. The story was rich with conflict, resolution, loneliness and love. It was book that ended with a smile and a sigh but frustration too that it was over. So I went ahead and read it again. It was even better the second time around! :)
