Publisher's summary

Like Father Like Son: I said good-bye to my son. But he had one final request - a letter I'll never forget.

"Dear Dad, If you're reading this, it means I'm gone. I had one dream, growing old with Holland. Death won't stop me from providing for my wife. And because you're the best man I know, what I'm about to ask - my last request - I know you'll do. Please take care of Holland. Take her back to California with you. It's a lot - I know. But, I'm placing my most precious possession in your hands. Love, Scott."

Different as Night and Day: I laid my husband to rest....

Scott was my world and my future. His love for me transcended the dimensions of time and space - having made provisions for me in the event of his death. He was after all in a war zone and the odds were high he may not come home. But now I can't help but think about the new man in my life - my husband's father.

Contains mature themes.

Odd

I was intrigued by the summary but was afraid to listen. Im glad i overcame that fear. Incredible story. There were a few parts i personally could have done without but it all worked towards the storyline. Definitely worth the listen

Beautiful portrait of resilience & love.

I urge you to ignore the overly emotional negative reviews that focus only on the FMC, and not the book itself. IMHO, Holland is skillfully written and incredibly likable. She’s a smart, resilient, courageous, witty, quirky and memorable FMC.

As a mental health professional, I would like to briefly note that anyone who’s upset about a conflicted widow being “wishy washy” has never experienced a profound grief themselves. If they had, they would understand that it’s normal. Survivors guilt is universally common. It manifests itself in indecision about whether it’s okay to move on and be happy again… fearful that doing so dishonors the person who’s passed. This author has a deep understanding of that.

So… a young widow and her father-in-law. I was intrigued and quite nervous to listen to this audiobook, because it could have been cringey as heck if not handled well by the author. But she struck a perfect balance. I was drawn in and captivated by these characters’ journey from the very beginning all the way to the brilliant ending. It’s my first book by her, but it definitely won’t be the last.

The narrators are both highly talented, and they did a phenomenal job. Teddy Hamilton is one of my favorite male narrators. This was my first audiobook narrated by Charlotte North, and she is now one of my favorite narrators, as well. She perfectly captured the emotional depth and feisty personality of the FMC.

If you are experiencing acute grief, this realistic portrayal may be too painful for you. For everyone else, I highly recommend you give it a chance. This is on my repeat listen shelf. Definitely worth a credit!

emotionally amazing

from the beginning the story was heart-wrenching and emotional but also relatable in a sense for grief and the loss of someone close and the struggle of every day that goes by without them but that you need to keep going because your life's not over yet. yet had its spicy times and of course an hea. loved listening to these two books back to back.

overall story

I was hesitant on the story since I wasn't too sure how I would feel about it but honestly I'm glad I gave it a chance and listened to it. I enjoyed both narrators. there were parts that had me in tears and there were parts that made me mad. the emotional rollercoaster these 2 characters went through before they got their happiness. I'm glad they got their closure and their happy ending. I understand what Hollad went through but she made me mad a lot and I love that Maguire fought for what he wanted and how well he took care of everyone. I also love that even though the late son is no longer there they never forget about him.

Dragged it

Who doesn’t love a taboo/forbidden romance every now and then? But this one just dragged it far past my interests. With the stacked up number of tragic events and the slow burn between the MCs this book hasn’t left a lasting impression on this reader.

So aggravating

I’m fine with slow burn romance but this one dragged too long. The female MC is constantly blowing hot and cold and so draining. Too many tragedies in one story.

I WANNA SLAP HER

Overall the story draged on to long, and its so frustrating when any character in the story plays this hot and cold game with each other while saying and doing things that hurt. When they both know at the end of the day all they want are each other. In this story its mostly the Female character thats dragging this poor man around by his balls. Teddy and the female narrator did a great job.

Fiddle sticks and poop in a hot dog bun?

Holland’s annoying banter got old after a while and I also thought she was sort of a b*tch. I ended up feeling so bad for McGuire. I did love the story though; however, the number of times they got together and broke up was a bit much. McGuire though 🥵 and Teddy Hamilton 🔥

Absolutely hated the MFC

Story was great but honestly the thinking of the MFC ruined it! She’s way too stupid to even enjoy it.
