The beginning was better than the end. The book was a bit predictable but romantic. Nice happy ending. I like that it was short. Any longer and it would have become boring.

Beautiful story that is beautifully written! My advice: Sit down with a big cup of your favorite beverage, a box of tissues, & block out enough time to read it in it's entirety. I couldn't put it down until it was finished. I've given this book to both men & women, and all have had the same reaction as me. I purchased it just because it was a Patterson book. When I read what it was about, I was a bit nervous. Not normally what he writes about. But I'm so glad I purchased it! Truly is one of my favorites!
