Synopsis
How does a woman get over her one great
love? With whitewater rafting, bluegrass, and a touch of revenge…
Kaye is an extreme sports addict with a
kind heart and an axe to grind with her childhood sweetheart and ex-husband,
renowned writer Samuel Caulfield Cabral. While Samuel enjoys a celebrity life
in New York, Kaye remains in their hometown of Lyons, Colorado, running her PR
agency and chatting daily with Samuel’s family, the beloved
Cabrals—first-generation Mexican-Americans who have embraced Kaye as their own.
But when Samuel returns for his sister’s
wedding with his new love interest, stunning editor Caroline Ortega , the
gloves are stripped off. Kaye is determined to unearth the reasons behind the
death of their marriage and why two people who lived to love each other were
driven apart.
She discovers startling revelations about
Samuel, about life…and about herself.
My Review:
When I started this book, I was confused. I wasn't sure what was going on. Once I got through a few chapters, I couldn't put it down. I wanted to smack Sam on more than one occasion. I loved Kaye and I felt her pain of losing her best friend/ husband without an explanation. The friendship group is amazingly supportive. I found myself so immersed in this story that I forgot what was going on around me. I hope there will be more from these characters! 4 out of 5!
About the Author
Sarah Latchaw was raised in eastern Iowa
and appreciates beauty in mud-splattered gravel roads, weathered farm faces,
and combine harvesters powering through cornfields. She also loves to explore
the world, thanks to countless family minivan trips across the States to
coastal cities and national monuments. This passion for finding stories led to
college adventures to Israel and Palestine, Jordan, Slovakia, Germany, and
other European countries. Each place’s story rests in the back of her mind and
in her childhood photo albums.
In 2002, Sarah received her BA from
Wartburg College in public relations and media, and entered the workforce,
ready to climb the ladder. However, when researching MBA applications evoked
feelings of dread, she realized a corporate marketing career wasn’t for her.
With the unfailing support of her loving husband, she chose to pursue a career
in freelance and creative writing, and received her MA from Iowa State
University in 2009.
These days, Sarah wakes every morning
thrilled to cuddle her small children, show them the world, then capture that
world and shape it into stories on paper. She also enjoys her piano,
volunteering in her community, and reading anything with a cohesive plot. She
and her family reside in Des Moines, Iowa.
