The plot was unbelievable, and the characters flat and unconvincing. ( ) When he is found dead, the last number found on his phone is who is notified of his death. It is not his wife! And so the story begins. Full of love, deceit, hidden secrets, and most of all healing and forgiveness. This is the first in the author's series. It moves quickly and held my attention. I would read more by this author. I have had this book on my Kindle for a while. I mostly listen to the audio versions of books but am trying to delve back into the written versions just a bit. Mentally my mind can not ponder heavy reads and felt this book would hit the spot for a fluffier bit of entertainment. I was wrong. If your looking for a review that will discuss the plot feel free to move on. You can get that from the author's summary. Sorry but this is about why I liked this story enough to begin book two. This is the first book in a series. I think it could be read as a stand alone but once read I needed to know more about the characters and began book two. I can understand some of the bad reviews but in real life we get to know people a bit before we dismiss them...or at least we should. The characters in this book are more complex than the reader originally assumes. Even though the character that initiates all the initial actions and consequences dies in the beginner he still plays a major role in the first book. If character development is one of the things that pulls you into a story than this book is a good selection for you. I absolutely felt I was getting to know the characters personally as each new secret or nuance was exposed. I may not have liked each character or their reactions but after getting to know them more I can understand the reasons. The book I thought would be fluff has turned out to be quite a bit more.
