Cocktails and Books received this book for free from Inkslinger PR in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect our opinion of the book or the content of our review.This book and I had a difficult relationship. Seems I wanted one thing and that didn't jive with where the book was going.
Jack and Laurel suffer a horrible tragedy, but they don't grieve it together. Jack is set on revenge, taking to Facebook and investigators to find who destroyed half of his family. Laurel is left feeling abandoned by Jack in his quest for justice. The only time these two seem to do any kind of communicating is through sex. Laurel has enough and decides she needs a break.
I could understand Laurel's need to escape, but I thought the way she went about it was wrong. To me, this whole relationship lacked any kind of communication. Even when it seemed like they might be heading down the right path, you could tell one or both of them wasn't being truly honest (which shoots the whole premise of what they're trying to do out the window).
And the ending left me confused and wondering why we just spent the past 300 pages trying to get these two to figure their marriage out. It did prove my whole point about communication.
