Don’t let yesterday’s regrets
control your future.Rocked by her husband’s infidelity and subsequent divorce, Emmy Bennett is doing her best to keep her children’s lives steady and not repeat the mistakes of her past. Selling her jewelry to pay the mortgage seems like a great idea until she finds herself face-to-face with a gun.

Review
This story takes place over a
short period of time but let me tell you in those few short days these characters
go through and learn so much. The book was so well written that you go on this
roller coaster and it doesn’t feel like the few days that it is. You really do
learn to care about these characters and hope for the best for them.
Emmy Bennett is learning to
live with the means that she has. She found her husband cheating on her and now
after the divorce she is trying to give her kids normal, in the house they have
grown up in. To do that she has to sell her jewelry on Craig’s list. When one
sell goes wring she almost loses everything until a man shows up to save her.
Emmy is a mom who is trying to keep everything together. She has been living
her life full of regrets and she is determined not to live like that anymore.
She is very strong and stubborn at times. She is definitely afraid to let love
back into her life. She is definitely a strong person that is willing to do
anything for her family.
Ed Jackson is a former Navy
SEAL who is traveling to San Diego to start his new business. When he meets a
friend for drinks he sees a woman is beautiful but very nervous. He decides he
is going to follow her and it ends up being one of his best decisions. He saves
her from two men with guns. After that his entire plans have changed. I loved
Jackson. He was sweet and caring and wanted the best for Emmy. He tried to give
her space but also show her that she can trust and open her heart again without
it becoming a regret. He clicks immediately with her family and Jackson
definitely keeps them safe. He was a great character. Perfect for Emmy and her
family.
This book was a quick and
interesting read. So much happened in this book and it never really let up.
Emmy was having all of these bad things happen to her but at the same time she
had Jackson bringing new and exciting things into her life as well. Jackson was
growing and learning how to love someone again. The story was well written and
the flow worked. Even though there was a lot it didn’t feel overwhelming. Everything
was set up nicely and it was believable. I enjoyed this book and I will
definitely be picking up more from this author.
