If you are reading this series in order then you will already be familiar with the events that lead to their separation and have advance knowledge that they have an HEA. This story is basically giving you a behind the scenes look at how they got there.

It's clear that Cal's mom the emotional vampire destroyed Emily in the same way she had attempted to do her own daughter. I hope that someone puts her in her place sadly it didn't happen in this story. .

I appreciated that Cal acknowledged his short comings in their deteriorating marriage and that he communicated his desires while actively comfortinf and listening to his wife to assist in her healing process.

Emily lost herself in an attempt to be good enough. Her story is relatable, emotional, and heartwarming.

This is Christian Movie Channel level. I was so invested in this couple my usually hornball self did not desire anything more than the vanilla that was offered.

Quick and Solid Read. Would recommend especially to anyone struggling.
