After a long custody battle with his ex-wife, former NFL Quarterback Joe Lakota just wants to take his four-year-old son, Zachary, to his hometown for some peace. Ten years ago Joe left home when the love of his life, Marilee Nelson, broke his heart. He plans on keeping his distance from her until he learns that people believe he is the one who broke off the relationship.
When Marilee heard Joe was back in town, she knew she had to prepare herself to see him. But she still isn't ready when he comes asking why she let people believe he left her. Joe also wants to know why she left college so abruptly. Marilee still loves him, but she isn't talking. She has carried a secret for the last ten years and isn't about to share it.
I wanted to like this book, but it just didn't work for me. Marilee drove me crazy telling Joe she couldn't see him, couldn't have a relationship with him, couldn't tell him her secret...then she would eventually do it ten pages later. Joe was a saint putting up with her problems and trying to get her to go to a therapist. He also had a son in therapy at the same time. I liked his relationship with his Zachary better than his relationship with Marilee. The story dragged on as a contemporary romance until the last 100 pages. At that point there was a mystery to solve. My rating: 2.5 Stars.
