Gabriel Luca Maldonado, III and Francesca Leandra Solomon were meant to be. They were so in love that everybody prayed for what they had.
Everything was glorious. They would get married, have children and live a perfect life. She would be a doctor in the emergency room once she finished her doctorate, and he would be a badass Navy SEAL and save people for a living.
But then Luca is deployed across the world, and per military regulations, Frankie isn’t allowed to follow.
They’ve overcome a lot in their short relationship, and they can overcome this, too. Two years was a piece of cake. She’d finish her schooling and wait for him. And when he finally returned home, they would marry.
But two months into Luca’s deployment, the unthinkable happens, and Frankie is left alone and heartbroken, knowing that she’ll have to face the rest of life without Luca at her side.
***
Fast forward two years, and Frankie is exactly where her fiancé’s father left her, in a pit of despair that she has no hope of ever finding her way out of.
She lives life one second at a time, depressed and alone, hoping tomorrow won’t hurt like today.
She finds a job, moves, and hopes that the nightmares won’t swallow her whole.
But just as she thinks that she’s getting better, one of her nightmares walks through the doors of her ER, and that nightmare has a name.
Gabriel Luca Maldonado, III. In the flesh.
Also healthy and whole, and definitely no longer missing.
Sadly, it only takes her a half a second to realize that the man that left her isn’t the same man that returned.
The old one wanted her. The new one? Well, he’s definitely not interested anymore.
Review:
4.5 Stars
This book was so good. I couldn't put it down and book hangover was the result. This book took me on a roller coaster of emotion. It delivers on the feels, suspense, and heat. Boy the characters generate a lot of heat. My heart goes out to Frankie. Life has thrown her for a loop and the devastation she has to go through broke my heart. Having her missing husband's best friend return is bittersweet, but a welcome one as well. The twists and turns take you on a ride, but one where the reward is so well worth it. There is also the touch of humor that I love with this series. It did have me laughing especially in the epilogue. The epilogue is everything. The absolute prefect touch to end this book on. This book may start off ripping your heart out, but by the end you'll be smiling and crying happy tears as it heals your heart right back up. A must read for sure!!
