Imagine being in love with the same girl since you were ten years old, only to have her fall for your twin instead. This story is rocky.
It will rip you apart and possibly put you back together again.
I know this because it's my story.
The pain and anguish experienced in this is what it was like to hold onto hope that some day we'd find each other again. I won't sugar coat the details of what I went through to have her, nor will I apologize for any actions that led me right back into her life.
Sometimes love isn't enough.
Sometimes it takes a little fate.
And now we get Brooks POV.
What a love triangle. From the prologue, this gripped my heart and wouldn't let go.
Katy was raised by her parents best friends due to the tragedies of 9-11. But, along with her guardians came twin sons, Branch & Brooks, who were there for each other through lifes trials and tribulations.
Falling in love with both brothers and only getting one was a hard choice for Katy. Deciding if she had made the right choice was even harder. Throw in the mix that one brother was fighting for her love and attention in his own messed up way and the other was always by her side. Didn't make for a life of easy choices.
Just when she thought that marrying her long time friend would make everything better, life again through her for a twist. Leaving and starting over was what she felt was best for all involved. Her broken heart wasn't the only thing she left with though.
Starting over in a strange new town proved to be easier then she thought. Finding someone who would be willing and wanting to help her was not what she expected. Bobby was the hometown boy who everyone loved. He did no wrong in their eyes and had his eyes set on Katy the day he met her. Being there for her through thick and thin was his plan. He was falling for her and willing to do what ever to help her. But as they say, things aren't always what they seem behind closed doors.
Brooks fought long enough to keep his distance. Katy knew deep down that she would always love Brooks and needed to find a way back to him. But, Bobby wasn't willing to release her.
Reconnecting with Brooks was more eye opening for him then he anticipated. The shock and awe of it proved to be just what helps them put their lives where they should have been all along. Enough time had been wasted by both. But it didn't come without cost.
This was full of twists and turns and every emotion possible to pull at you. Absolutely amazing book.
Love isn’t always
something we learn to feel or experience through years of heartbreak and
personal experiences. Though it can grow stronger, people aren’t able to choose
when it will happen. Sometimes, on rare instances, it becomes the only thing we
live for; the reason we keep striving to move in a forward direction. In other
instances, it can be the whole reason we exist in this world. That kind of
rarity isn’t one to boast about. Loving someone with extreme compassion comes
with great agony, and even more patience. Feeling as if you can’t breathe is
only the beginning of what could occur when you’re emotions play a part in the
existence of such a powerful word. There have been days where I’ve woken up and
wished it wasn’t there, hounding me from the depths of my core. I’ve always
considered myself a strong man; one that could withstand extreme amounts of
despair without breaking down. I felt like I could get past it, however,
learned quickly that it doesn’t work that way.
Imagine being in love
with the same person since you were a young child, only to have them fall for
your twin instead. This story I’m about to tell you is rocky.
It will rip you apart
and possibly put you back together again.
I know this because
it's my story.
The pain and anguish
experienced in this is what it was like to hold onto hope that some day we'd
find each other again. I won't sugar coat the details of what I went
through to have her, nor will I apologize for any actions that led me right
back into Katy’s life.
There is one thing
I’ve learned from all of this.
Sometimes love isn't
enough.
Sometimes it takes a
little fate, some bad experiences, and a lot of time.
