I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

Gabriel Luca Maidonado 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 fiance’s father left her In the pit of despair that she has no hope of every 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 only one wanted her. The new one? Well, he’s definitely not interested anymore.

I loved this book. All the stories in this series have been amazing but this one has stolen my heart. I thought that it was super emotional. I can’t even imagine the things that Frankie has had to endure and then to see the man she has loved for forever and swore she would spend the rest of her life with is alive after all and in the flesh. However he is not the same man he was and this is crushing for Frankie. Things however just might not be what they seems and there is a reason for everything that is going on with Malachi has been through. However I think with everything that is going on that Frankie is misreading Malachi and that he still wants her. I don’t think you can love a woman like he loved her and forget her. He might not remember with his mind but his heart sure knows. I thought this story was amazing and beautiful and of all the Lani Lynn Vale books I have read this is the one that had tears running down my face at times. It is so good and you do not want to miss it.
