I always look forward to Ms. Rohman's books. They are a roller coaster ride of emotions that have me anxious and excited all at the same time to discover all the secrets within. Even though this book is a novella, the story delivers drama, suspense, heartache and love. So much love. There are some incredibly moving moments. Moments where your heart splinters and bleeds. You are sucker punched from the very first sentence.
The story returns to our favourite couple Jada and Jonathan Kole, 13 years after the events of Love, Lies and the D.A. Not everything is quite as it should be. Jada is hiding something from her family but then again so is Jonathan.. Communication is everything. While we think that keeping things from our loved ones is protecting them, in fact it does the opposite. Secrets can hurt more than the truth. And this is something Jada and Jonathan discover. While trying to spare the other the burden of their problems, they have created suspicion and unease in their marriage. There were times when I wanted to slap them both for their decisions but I empathised with them. I understood what they were trying to do even though it didn't quite work the way they had hoped.
There are some sweet and tender moments especially when Jordan is present. He is such an adorable child. A favorite of mine is a father and son moment between Jonathan and Jordan:
*I ruffle my fingers through the curly locks of his hair. "Come on... who's the best lawyer you know in San Francisco?"
"You-Jonathan Kole."
"That's right," I lean over and take him in my arms.*
And of course there are some steamy intimate moments to get your heart racing. Jonathan and Jada's tale is one that will shatter you but by the end, you will have a renewed sense of hope and strength you didn't think possible.
The story shows us that it is okay to be vulnerable, to be weak, to have insecurities, and to ask for help. For we are stronger when we are together. Alone, the weight of the world can crush us. But with others, they can help us shoulder the burden and we can come out stronger and better than before. Ms. Rohman creates incredible tales which touch on sensitive and relevant issues that affect people everyday. She tackles these issues with such poise and grace so that the reader is left with hope and love by the end of the tale.
