Book Description:
Twenty-three year old, Kamryn Cunningham has left all she’s ever known and moved to a small town where no one knows her name, who her parents are, or her social status in the horseracing world. Months after opening her own bakery and evading attempts of being set up by her new best friend, she meets Brody. Kamryn fights the instant pull between them because there’s a detail she can’t dismiss. Brody’s married.

To say that twenty-six year old, Brody Saco has had a rough marriage would be an understatement. After marrying his pregnant girlfriend, he spends the next six years in a relationship filled with hatred, manipulation and guilt involving a tragedy that happened five years earlier. When he keeps running into his sister-in-law’s best friend, Kamryn, he can’t ignore that she makes him feel more with just one look than his wife ever has; and soon he can’t continue fight his feelings for her.

When staying apart proves to be too difficult, Brody and Kamryn enter a relationship full of stolen moments and nights that end too soon while they wait for Brody to file for divorce. But the guilt that comes with their relationship may prove to be too much for Kamryn, and Brody might not be strong enough to face the tragedy from his past in order to leave his conniving wife.

I love contemporary romance, it is no secret, but what you might not know is that more often than not, I really have a hard time finding those books that really suck me in. That really stand out and make me remember why I love the genre so much. 

After you have read so many of them, things start to blend together with the all too familiar tropes and cliches and before you know it, you don't even remember what you are reading and why. In fact, half the time I don't even write reviews for those stories because where do I begin to describe them when everything about it was forgettable? Was too familiar and so overdone all I wanted to do was roll my eyes and hide in the corner waiting for a better read to come along?

Believe it or not, I have had to take a break from this genre whether it be YA, NA, or adult. Sometimes enough is enough and I am almost afraid to pick up the next one, no matter how terrific or original it may sound.

So when I find one that I really enjoyed, that really did stand out, that wasn't your normal angst and heart ache and putting the pieces back together again type of read, I feel like I have to shout it from the roof tops and make it be known that this, this read, is a winner. This is one that everyone should read.

It isn't often I say something like that about a book like this. I deplore cheating. It makes me sad, it disgusts me and I can't and don't condone it. But once in a great while an author can make me see another side to it and McAdams, has done just that.

I still don't agree with everything that happened, with why they couldn't wait, but I felt their torture and their pain and the situation that they were in and even fell in love with them both. Brody is in a horrible relationship with a truly deplorable woman and even though I don't like that he cheated on her, I can (sort) of understand it. I felt what he was going through and I felt that even though he did something bad, he did it for all the right reason.

You will be hard pressed to find an author that can make you cheer for a couple that is breaking all the rules. That are doing something so wrong, yet so right at the same time. For a couple that you can't help but feel for and want to root them on. Want them to get their happily ever after, together.

McAdams did a fabulous job with this. She showed us that every story really does have two sides and that everything isn't always so black and white, that there is a heck of a lot of gray in between, and sometimes, it is that gray that makes all the difference in the world.
