From Goodreads
Kate Hemingway is prickly and aloof...or at least, that’s what she likes people to think. Since the death of her photographer husband, Stuart, the only people Kate allows near are her best friend, Orla, and her son, George. She loves them both more than anything in the world. Everyone else she keeps at a distance...including Paul Farrell.
Paul was Stuart’s closest friend. An ex-war journalist, he and Kate have one thing in common. They both seem equally distant. Then Paul publishes an article, revealing an astonishing secret. On a trip to the Yorkshire moors with a group of teenage girls, Kate's scarred heart begins to open up.
But can she risk her son’s happiness, as well as her own?
My thoughts
This was a lovely read and made a great change from all the thriller style reads that I have recently been reading. It's a gentle romance with a little bit more.
I have to admit that I am not sure how I came across the copy of this book, but however it arrived on my Kindle I am glad that it did. I gave this a 4 star or 8/10.
It was a well written story that draws you in quickly. Paul and Kate, have a shared past. Paul was best friend to Kate's husband Stuart. They were all very close when Stuart was alive, but since he passed away the friendship between Paul and Kate became a more distant one for some reason. Perhaps, it was due to the love they both had for Stuart and the fact that neither of them wanted to acknowledge the loss that they were feeling.
As time moves on, Kate tries to make a new life for her and her son George. George misses the father that he barely got to know, due to losing him at such a young age. Paul however, is linked to both Kate and her son George with being a godfather. Paul takes this role seriously and likes to be involved in George's life as much as he can.
How will Paul and Kate as their lives take them in directions that neither planned?
