This book was a fast read. The characters were very real and the story was believable. I enjoyed reading it. It kept me involved in the story line. I wanted to find out what happened to the characters. A soldier who marries a girl whose best friend thinks he is her soul mate but it wasn't she he chose to marry. Then when he is off fighting, serving his country, his wife finds that she can't take care of the children on her own. She asks her friend for help which she willingly gives her at peril her own home and work. She gives up much to help her friend and each year brings another child and the man goes off to fight or work for the military. He has no idea why this girl is always at his home when he comes home. He doesn't treat her very well so she leaves the house and the kids that have become very like her own, they have her heart as does he which he doesn't know. The wife dies in an accident and the man has no one to watch his children.....the story goes on!
I was given this book in exchange for an honest review!
Here is the information as found on Good Reads: What do you do when your soul mate marries your best friend?
If you're Kate Evans, you keep your friend Rachel, bond with her kids, and bury your feelings for her husband. The fact that Shane's in the military and away for long periods helps-but when tragedy strikes, everything changes.
After Rachel, pregnant with her fourth child, dies in a car accident and the baby miraculously survives, Kate upends her entire life to share parenting duties. Then on the first anniversary of Rachel's death, Kate and Shane take comfort in each other in a night that they both soon regret.
Shane's been angry for a year, and now he feels guilty too - for sleeping with his wife's best friend and liking it . . . liking her. Kate's ability to read him like a book may have once sent Shane running, but their lives are forever entwined and they are growing closer.
Now with Shane deployed for seven months, Kate is on her own and struggling with being a single parent. Shane is loving and supportive from thousands of miles away, but his homecoming brings a betrayal Kate never saw coming. So Kate's only choice is to fight for the future she deserves - with or without Shane. .
