This was a sweet read. It did deal with addiction and the effects it had on family members also.
Leah has always wanted what was best for her brother, Shane. She doesn't want to keep helping him out, but it's hard to turn him down when he is all the family she has left. She finally has to put her foot down and stays firm until he shows up with a little girl. Then her desire to help is stronger than ever. She wants Dani, his daughter to have the best life possible. She puts her life on hold to raise Dani so Shane can get help. Leah is content with life, but once Adam, Dani's uncle comes into the picture she is having trouble not drooling over him. She knows it would be a bad idea to start anything with him. Can she raise Dani while Shane is getting help? Will Shane finally get the help he needs?
Adam is mad, sad, disappointed and happy all at once. He never knew about his niece Dani. That is until he gets a devastating call about his sister. He wants to blame Shane for her death, but he knows he isn't responsible. He wants Dani to have a great life and will help Leah in giving it to her. He had already been checking Leah out at the college before he knew she was going to be a permanent fixture in his life. Can he keep his desire for her hidden? Or will he try to have a relationship with her even knowing it could all blow up in his face?
This book will have you wanting to know what happens. I enjoyed this read, but I felt it needed more. Some of the pieces just didn't flow enough for me. I definitely recommend reading this book and meeting the sexy Adam!!
~ Excerpt ~
“Do you want to talk about it?” I
hesitantly ask, running my own finger along the steering wheel.
“I’m not sure. It’s just all so
crazy in my head. Nothing makes sense. Nothing is going as I’ve planned.”
“Sometimes the best things that
happen are the ones you least expect,” I say, like some damn philosophy
professor.
She turns to me with a serious
face. “Adam, what if Shane doesn’t get clean? What if he can’t do it?” A tear
clings to her lashes before falling from her eye and trailing down her cheek.

Michelle moved
around the Midwest most of her life, transferring from school to school before
settling down in the outskirts of Chicago ten years ago, where she now resides
with her husband and two kids. She
developed a love of reading at a young age, which helped lay the foundation for
her passion to write. With the
encouragement of her family, she finally sat down and wrote one of the many
stories that have been floating around in her head. When she isn’t reading or
writing, she can be found playing with her kids, talking to her mom on the
phone, or hanging out with her family and friends. But after chasing around twin preschoolers
all day, she always cherishes her relaxation time after putting the kids to
bed.
