We've seen most of the other Archer siblings deal with the loss of their brother, but for Liam it is much more complicated because Alex was his identical twin. He isn't good at dealing with his feelings and this has affected his relationship with his family as well as his love life. Aubrey is the lawyer who is executing Alex's will and overseeing the land use issue surrounding the property he left to his siblings. She and Liam have been casually seeing each other when he is in town since Alex's death. However she puts and end to things when she realizes that she wants more than what Liam is willing to give her. They find themselves spending time together as friends, but neither can deny not only the attraction, but also the growing feelings between them. These two have great chemistry that leads to some steamy encounters. Another great story in the series, can 't wait for the final one when Hayden comes home.

I received an ARC via Edelweiss for the purpose of an honest review. I was not compensated for this review, all conclusions are my own.

I would not recommend it.  The guy is a traitor and he expects sympathy.  Difficult to feel sympathy for him.

Gets off to a rough start if you're expecting to delve into healing from a similar loss to suicide.  Once he does touch upon that subject then he delves into the hard work I too had to do around the loss of my brother to suicide.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book

This book was very emotion one and took you on a roller coaster of depression, sorrow, pain and anger. It shows problems teens can have with cutting, eating disorders, and how to deal with it. It's definitely a dark story and deals with very touchy subjects. It was a good read and it's not normally a book I get sucked into.

This book not only glosses over the fact that "Poor, tragic Luca" decided to drink MULTIPLE drinks and then drive (snow or no snow), doesn't have the intelligence to make sure that the "Love of his life" buckles-up,  gets into an accident and KILLS her, but he then allows his little brother to take the blame as well as jail-time and a felony record, and finally bankrupts his parents. But he feels bad, really really bad. So bad that he STILL drives after drinking-with the NEW love of his life in the car. But he is sad, really, really sad, and blames himself while listening to sad music and judging people for not being equal to him in intelligence.  This guy is a coward; a coward that runs around having everyone how great he is, and enabling him to continue on with his pity party.  I do not understand how this author thinks that he is even a slightly sympathetic character.

This book gives helpful information for such an emotionally draining situation.

It is difficult to relate to the main character, not just for what he did, but because his reasons are no longer applicable in the way people live today and engage into relationships. Nevertheless, its insight about how a  marriage could very easily become a living hell while both parties pretend  that nothing is going on, may very well be reflected in today's average  person experience.

Dr. Ryan O'Doherty is a pediatric neurosurgeon. He is an excellent doctor but lacks the "human" touch that the family of his patients need. Lucy Edwards is assigned to work with Ryan because of her family counseling skills. Together they are effective with patient and family.
But what a mess these two are! Emotionally that is. They both have deep hurts they must learn to deal with before they can fully work together, both in the hospital and in a growing relationship. Lots of tissues, angst, anger, renewal, acceptance and forgiveness here. A medical romance that has a depth of emotional work and healing.

I received a copy if this book from the author.

Very helpful.  I am not feeling like I'm the only one dealing with a very difficult and mean person

This is really a heartbreaking book. Simple heartbreaking. The church has a lot to answer for in regards to the demonisation of homosexuals.
Bryan is a devout Christian, but because he is gay, he believes that he cannot be himself, lest he lose his friends, family and the church he loves. So he tries to change and bend himself into the right heterosexual shape so that he can finally be a "normal", married and have kids. He tried to "turn" himself straight by working in Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion, enrolled in "ex-gay" programmes and listened to motivational tapes - all to no avail. He repeatedly walked away from people he had a connection with, and nearly killed himself from the pain.
It was painful to read his struggle, how he hides his true self, the deep self-loathing he feels about who he is, the frustration he felt at being created that way ... I may be a straight woman but I relate to his desperation in wanting to fit into a religious culture that demands we behave a certain way, but doing so would mean destroying ourselves slowly by not being ourselves.
The only minus point is that there are times I found his journey repetitive (he comes close to accepting himself, only to fall back into the "I know I can be an ex-gay one day" mode). Still, if anything, this does enable you to feel the exhaustion he feels.

Caleb and Henley meet under crazy circumstances. He has spent the last 7 years in a downward spiral, gets out of rehab and moves to NO with a new job in a tattoo shop. Henley is living in NO and has her own set of issues. She is hard to understand at times and keeps a lot close to the vest. She needed to own her actions and words and really never did. She pushes people away, is abrasive and wants other people to get out of her way. Caleb is done playing games and only wants honesty and directness. When Henley keeps giving him the cold shoulder, Caleb lets her walk away on several occasions in order to show her that he isn't chasing her. She has a hard time understanding the true meaning of what being alone with her condition will mean. Both of them were a mess throughout this book. I was a bit disappointed that this is a duet and I have to now read another installment in order to get a conclusion to their story.

We each have our own ways of dealing with problems, sometimes not very well. The author reminds us that we are human and that we make mistakes, some we never forget. In our pain of remembering where we messed up we realize that we are living and breathing and that we can work toward making better choices in the future. Mistakes happen, we can learn from them.

He is right on when he says, basically, hug it out when a woman is feeling emotional. Try it guys, it works.

This boy needs to open his mind up a little bit.  He lacks empathy.  Supporting this type of work is not a healthy way to live.
