Hi, book buddies :-) How are you doing? What's on the menu today, you ask? Well, a little taboo and lots of love!
MY OPINION
Moving and very real. More than romance, this tale is about love and the patience it devouts to the beloved. Through storm and grief, this couple denies the flesh to give everything else to the other. Support, warmth, smiles, embraces and time, it's all a big blanket of emotion that envelopes you all throughout the reading.
Maguire and Holland start this second book in the middle of another tragedy, though it won't be the last one they will suffer in this harrowing challenge that is their life.
It broke my heart to see this man so rejected and alone after his tremendous sacrifice. I could understand her fear to initiate a romantic entanglement after the events, but Holland is so ruthless in her beliefs that Maguire gives her all his heart without any reward sometimes.
However, I loved their times together, they are filled to the brim with family coziness and banter and sweet times.
Many examples of their connection quarrel with the drama that keeps pouring on them until I thought I was going to cry with frustration. Oh, until the very end they suffer, it's a whirlwind of passion, anger and bad things thrown at them. It's hard to get to that final moment of acceptance and bliss. So much loss, so much stubborness. Also, I was dying for them to go intimate! It was worth the wait.
It's a good story because it blends the taboo with a tireless love. I enjoyed it.

Like Father Like Son
I laid my husband to rest....
Scott was my world and my future. His love for me
transcended the dimensions of time and space—having made provisions for me in
the event of his death. He was after all in a war zone and the odds were high
he may not come home. But now I can’t help but think about the new man in my
life – my husband’s father.
Maguire creates a desire deep inside of me I never knew
existed. This is more than lust. I keep on asking myself the same question.
Have I fallen in love with him because he's so much like my late husband or
because he's his own man? Only time will tell.
After all, you can't choose love, it chooses you.

Maguire
“I love this place!” she yells over the loud music, asking
about my time here with my son, when he was alive. “You and Scott came here,
often?” she asks.
“Yeah, many times. It has the best burgers.”
She’s looking at the menu, her eyes big at the portion size.
“You’ll have to roll me out.” Just then, the music lowers a little and we don’t
have to yell at each other. When I came to pick her up tonight, she’d been
crying. I’ll try to do anything to make her forget what tomorrow truly
is.
Our server comes over, kneeling, flirting with me. “You both
are a beautiful couple.” Yet, her arm is all over mine.
“Um, listen, bitch, you better step back a bit,” Holland
begins because the server thinks Holland is mine, yet, she’s fruitlessly
flirting with me.
She smiles at Holland, too. “Oh, honey, I’m sorry. I didn’t
mean to overstep, as a matter of fact, I’d take you both in the mix.” My mouth
falls when Holland stops to process all she’s said. “Sorry, honey, I wasn’t
coming onto just your husband, I hadn’t gotten to you yet, sugar.” And she
winks at Holland. “So, what would you two beautiful people like to
drink?”
After she takes our order, Holland twists her body toward
me, and she’s somewhere between hysterics and anger. “Hey, wife?” I ask, going
off of the server’s assumptions of us. “You got pretty territorial there,” I
tease, loving it, seeing green in her actions.
“Well, she assumed we were a couple and she blatantly
flirted with you so I had to stake my fictional claim.”
“Sure, whatever you have to tell yourself.”
By the way her jaw is almost sitting on the table, she’s
still a little shell-shocked. “Did that just happen?” she asks. I nod yes and
she has her phone whipped out so fast. “Wait until I tell Teagan. She’s going
to flip her lid. According to her, she’s the only girl who can hit on me.” Even
in the absurdness of it all, I’m glad our server has given Holland something
worth laughing about. She surely will need it to get through tomorrow.
