Story
The first time I met Ian Kemp in the sparkling blue waters of St. Thomas, I was six years old, and we shared a summer beneath the stars. The second time I met Ian Kemp, he was a shell of the boy I once knew. Turbulent and infuriating, he refused my friendship at every turn. Like me, he was a casualty of life’s cruelty, but we were planets apart. We’d both sought refuge on the island, hoping to find our anchor. Instead, we found each other and managed to reclaim our stars...until we both got swept away.

The average song is three and a half minutes long; those three and a half minutes could lead to a slow blink, a glimpse of the past, or catapult the soul into heart-shattering nostalgia. At the height of my career, I had the life I wanted, the life I'd always envisioned. I'd found my tempo, my rhythm. Then I received a phone call that left me off key.

Story
He was the beginning of my heart...and the end of it. I was only 15 years old when he claimed it and 20 when he took it with him. They say what is meant to be will find a way. But when you have changed to the point of no return, how can anything ever be the same? Seven years later, Dean Martin waltzed back into my life in hopes of resuming what I had fought so hard to forget, but he was in for a wake-up call. I was no longer the naïve woman he had left...and I was no longer his.

Briggs: Remember when we parted ways in Germany? It was the day I broke your heart. What you didn't know was that I was breaking mine too. I thought they'd be enough - my husband and my son. That I'd get home and everything would go back to the way it was...before the war. Before the ambush. Before you. But, no matter how hard I try, I can't erase the trauma we shared. I can't seem to forget the way my heart beat in time with yours. I thought the nightmare was over when they pulled us from that hole in the ground, but nothing could have prepared me for the war I'd face at home.

Triple Falls wasn’t at all what it seemed, nor were the men that swept me under their wing. But in order to keep them, I had to be in on their secrets. Secrets that cost us everything to keep. That’s the novelty of fiction versus reality. You can’t re-live your own love story, because by the time you’ve realized you’re living it, it’s over. At least that was the case for me and the men I trusted my foolish heart to. Looking back, I’m convinced I willed my story into existence, due to my illness, and all were punished.

Now, my ball-busting father is sentencing me to six months of celibacy, sobriety, and morbid boredom under the roof of Boston's nerdiest girl alive, Sailor Brennan. The virginal archer is supposed to babysit my ass while I learn to take my place in Royal Pipelines, my family's oil company. Little does she know, that's not the only pipe I'll be laying....

My future is a big ‘what if’ at the moment and I’m fine with that. For the most part. When Thayer Holmes moves in next door, the grumpy landscaper both fascinates and amuses me. When he asks me to nanny his kid, it’s a great way to make some extra money. It’s impossible not to fall in love with Thayer and his adorable son. There’s a big problem though. I’m eighteen. He’s thirty-one. Falling for someone almost fifteen years older than me wasn’t part of my plans, but sometimes things happen when you least expect them.

INTENSE, HOT & FULL OF DELICIOUS THRILLS

Publisher's Summary
A number-one best seller in inspirational romance and an Amazon top-30 best seller!
They say it happens when you least expect it.
It did for me.
It started the moment I saw the simple message pop up on my computer screen:
Cameron’s Mac: Hi.
And when I met the eyes of the gorgeous man messaging me from across the coffee shop, I never thought my reply would lead to the most intense, sexual, and passionate relationship of my life.
We both agreed to check our bags at the door and put our future hopes and aspirations on the table.
It worked.
I fell in love with his no-holds-barred attitude, sexy smirk, and undeniably good heart...and for a while we forgot about our baggage. We happily tripped over it to get to the other, neither of us willing to show the contents of our pasts in the off-chance it could ruin us.
We built our love on a foundation of gray.
It was life in black and white that threatened to tear us apart.

First book by a new to me author.
This was my first Kate Stewart book. And I’m going to say that I need to read this one to give it a better understanding. I found it hard to hear Cameron’s mac and Abbey’s mac over and over again. But I persevered and found it glad that I had because it was a very interesting story and had surprising elements that I hadn’t seen coming. It was full of emotion and had great substance. The narrative was great as well but IMO I want to read this book rather than hear it so that I don’t have to hear about whose MAC is talking. I was gifted this audiobook in exchange for my review.

good story/great narration
This is my first read from Kate Stewart. I pre-ordered this audio read because Lance Greenfield narrates . Both narrators did a great job. The story and secondary characters were good as well. Parts of the story were even funny. I deducted a star because it felt like one book up until about chapter 20 . All narrated by Callie at this point. Then the dramatics happen. (please don't read spoilers about this). Then I finally get to hear Lance. I understand why now. But was annoyed somewhat during the first 20 chapters. This part of the book felt different. Like we are finally getting to know Cameron in the last third of the book. The first two thirds was about Abby. I would have preferred to more about him sooner, but I understand why she wrote it this way. Over all, I would recommend reading or listening. I'll seek out more by Kate, and also re-read this one as well.

Great
Loved this love story. It dealt with some hard human experiences; loss, grief, addiction, abuse, phobias, etc. And did it in a realistic, poignant way. I liked that the characters were real with their own faults and fears but not angsty. Would read again.

The Way We Coffee
I am so glad that I do not always go by what a reviewer has typed, and although I did glance one that had a spoiler, I found this book to be quite good. Great story line, characters and narration. One take away is that things are not always as they seem and what will you do with a persons truth.

Emotion Overload!
This book has a captivating storyline that grabs you right from the start keeping you engrossed and on edge throughout the whole book!
Intensely sensuous, wrought with emotion, and so well written that I absolutely could not put it down!
I loved the emotion of the book and you could truly feel the characters through the narrators.

Kate is magic
Another great novel from Kate. Every novel Kate writes is a masterpiece. I got some real anxiety with this one- though I had guessed the “twist” part way through I was concerned how it would wrap up. Whether it could tie up in satisfying way. She, as usual, didn’t disappoint.
