This book is a series, You won't have to read the first one to understand the following. but it will cross over.
My review:
I really love Beckett and Harlow. They both have horrible pasts that does not keep them down and out of love and life. Beckett has a drive to better and not give up. He is able to realize life can go on if he keeps on trying to do his best instead of being sucked into negative things. I am so glad he had Richard as a positive male role model after his family with Harlow is ripped away from him. He never forgets about her and strives to make sure that if he finds her one day that he is a worthy man of her love and friendship.
Harlow is another great character in this book. She is strong and realistic in how she deals with what has happened to her. I find a little of myself in her and very relatable. I love how she is able to open herself up to the possibilities with Beckett. She has more strength inside her then she realizes. Harlow never forgot Beckett either and felt betrayed for many years until he was able to explain when they meet up again.
Teasers
This story is about a strong friendship turned to real love. They have issues and struggles like others but like S. M Stryker's other book I find them to be believable, real characters that I could have met in real life. S.M Stryker got me again and I am glad I was able to read this book. It's as if parts of my life are on paper. This was a well written and thought out story that I really loved. It was sweet and everyone should experience in their life the true friendship that Beckett and Harlow have.

About S.M. Stryker
S.M. Stryker grew up on a small farm in Oregon with her two brothers.
She married her husband 27 years ago. It was important to her to be able to stay at home to raise their four daughters.
She wasn't an avid reader, although she always thought her life would make a good book. A few years ago she picked up FSOG and The Crossfire Series and was drawn to the characters; the storylines moved her more than anything. Her life changed at that point, she could relate to the characters and what they had gone through. She devoured books after that, sometimes reading 8-10 books a week, and finding new authors she enjoyed reading. She couldn't be without a book, her IPad or IPhone anything that she could download her kindle app onto.
Knowing she had always wanted to write but kept putting it off, she emailed a few of her favourite authors that gave her some very good advice. So she finally went for it.
