Nikki Burgess survived a terrible marriage and a worse divorce. She's just about given up hope of ever finding happiness. But when her ex-husband suddenly dies, she gets custody of her kids again - and a chance to start over. Dixie McPherson, on the other hand, has had way too much love. She has 11 tennis bracelets, dozens of trinkets, piles of sexy lingerie, and a tarnished reputation when all she ever wanted was true love, a partner, and a family. Carlisle Bartlett is loyal, kindhearted, and the funniest guy slinging drinks in the back of an airplane. But he has an ugly little secret. The only kind of love he's used to comes with bruises.

Story
Nestled on the Oregon coast is a small town of rocky beaches and rugged charm. Locals love the land’s unspoiled beauty. Developers see it as a potential gold mine. When newcomer Hank Cooper learns he’s been left an old friend’s entire beachfront property, he finds himself with a community’s destiny in his hands. Cooper has never been a man to settle in one place, and Thunder Point was supposed to be just another quick stop. But Cooper finds himself getting involved with the town. And with Sarah Dupre, a woman as complicated as she is beautiful.
Written by: Robyn Carr
Publisher's Summary
A poignant and powerful story about how one woman’s best intentions lead to the worst of situations and how love helps her to heal and ultimately triumph.
From the outside looking in, Lauren Delaney has a life to envy - a successful career, a solid marriage to a prominent surgeon, and two beautiful daughters who are off to good colleges. But on her 24th wedding anniversary, Lauren makes a decision that will change everything.
Lauren won’t pretend things are perfect anymore. She defies the controlling husband who has privately mistreated her throughout their marriage and files for divorce. And as she starts her new life, she meets a kindred spirit - a man who is also struggling with the decision to end his unhappy marriage.
But Lauren’s husband wants his “perfect” life back, and his actions are shocking. Facing an uncertain future, Lauren discovers an inner strength she didn’t know she had as she fights for the love and happiness she deserves.

A story about the life and struggle after divorce
This book is the story of how Lauren Delaney picked up the pieces of her life after she chooses to leave her abusive husband.
This story follows along as you "see" what she goes thru to finally take her life back. As she wades thru life, with the reactions of her daughters and the dilemmas of where to live and who will be her friends will be, she takes it all in stride.
This story is about the life that she builds instead of being a story that has a tangible plot line with issues that must be solved.
And not only is this story about Lauren, it's also about Bo Magellan and his divorce and what he's going thru as well.
So not only is this story a look into their lives, we get to see the reactions of the people most close to them and the events and situations that they finds themselves in as a result of the decisions that they're making. And some results that are no fault of their own.
It's a great "look" into a short time in their lives and how they weathered things and how they dealt with things.
Carr does a great job of creating and building the characters and making them interesting and unforgettable.
The narrator was engaging and good at making different characters sound different. I didn't like how weak she made Lauren sound in the ending scene with Brad. Lauren wasn't a wimp character and she made her "sound" like that.
But definitely a story worth the almost 10hrs it takes to listen to this book!!

This book got me really emotional. The way the author described the characters’ feelings and thoughts was incredible, because for me it hits home.
And the narrator, as always, was amazing.
Well deserved 5 stars.
