Publisher Description

From #1 New York Times bestselling author Tami Hoag comes this powerful novel of passion, heartbreak, and redemption—a story that celebrates our capacity to love one time, for all time, even in the face of adversity and change. They say that each of us becomes an entirely new person every seven years. But Rebecca Bradshaw doesn’t feel any different when an old lover shows up severely injured at the hospital where she runs the physical therapy department. Seven years ago baseball player Jace Cooper left her without a second thought or the chance to share the life-changing secret she swore she’d keep from him forever. Now he was back, wanting both her help and a second chance. Becca hadn’t changed, and she didn’t believe Jace had either, but as she helped him repair his broken body and his fractured past, she would find she was wrong on both counts. The only thing that had stayed the same was the most important thing of all—and now suddenly time was running out.

"Typical guy leaves girl, then realizes he messed up. Girl won't take him back, kind of book. However, it was a short read and cute. Lots of interesting characters. Not a book I would read again, but liked it none the less."

  • Overall Performance: 3 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 53 out of 5

    " 3.5* Enjoyable fast read. Think series romance and you'll have the idea of length and character development. This is not a Hoag suspense story. It is strictly a light romance. However, Hoag succeeds in getting a lot of character development into the short book making it a satisfying read. "

    " This was a pretty sweet book for an older romance book. Rebecca and Jase were fun, and I loved the history that they had and how they overcame everything. Rebecca's father was funny with all of his tinkering and robotics. "

    " This is an early romance from mystery writer Tami Hoag. Physical therapist, Rebecca Brashaw and pro-baseball player Jace Cooper are the characters. Nothing special, quick and predictable. Hoag's mysteries are much, much better. "

    " Not that great, from the first few pages you knew what was going to happen. Too many love scenes in the last half - that's all it was at the end was sex scene after sex scene. "
