Avery had not been the same since her brutal attack. One year later, and she is still haunted by the memories of her attacker. She made attempts to make herself feel safer, but she still needed to confront her issues stemming from that fateful day last year in NY.
Overall, I really enjoyed Avery's story. Watching her fade since her attack was hard, and she didn't seem to be making much progress toward her recovery. Yes, she was physically recovered, but mentally and emotionally, she was just putting bandaids on her wounds.
The first wives were busy celebrating marriages and engagements, and I wanted Avery to be able to find her happy with someone too. That someone came in the form of a fabulous contractor named Liam.
I immediately loved Liam. He was funny and sweet, and exactly the type of person Avery needed to help her begin living again. I thought the interactions between Liam and Avery were fun and flirty, but what really made me love him was seeing him with his sister and his niece. Those two women had him wrapped around their little fingers, and he was more than happy to do their bidding. The love he had for his family was so obvious and wonderful, and I knew right then, that he was a keeper.
As always, the whole gang got some page time, and it is always fun spending quality time with the other first wives and their significant others. It reminds me how lucky they are to have each other, and also, how much mayhem they can get into.
Fun and games aside, I was happy Avery got the closure she needed with respect to her attack. It was a new beginning for her, and allowed her to put quite a few of her inner demons to rest.
My only complaint was that I wish Liam and Avery had more time together on page. I adored these two, and wanted to see them have more fun with each other.
The book had a really cute ending, and there was a lot of groundwork laid for Shannon's story, which I am excited about it.
