Changing Course
von Aly Martinez

Bewertet mit 3.5 Sternen

"This was never the course I intended to take, but there is no doubt it led me to where I was supposed to be."

I finished this book a little while ago, but I was traveling through Canada and didn't have the time to write a review until now.

Brett and Sarah Erickson had it all, love, marriage and friendship until one night everything changed for them. Injury and guilt plague Sara to hate herself and her life. Four years later, sexy, loyal and funny Brett is stuck in a pattern of loving someone who doesn’t exist when a sweet little brunette named Jesse captures his attention.

Brett met this attractive,kind, timid lady with a little bit sass, Jesse Addison. She works in a coffee shop he visits for breakfast. They are both attracted to each other. It's just that Brett has issues. He still can't move on about his previous relationship and tries his best to let go and love again. It’s an incredibly complicated set up for a new relationship, and the issues that they have to face are both heartbreaking and shocking. There is a lot of drama and angst, but it never felt overdone.

This is not your traditional romance story. But it’s not a love triangle either. It has so much angst and turmoil, though.

Brett finds the strength to let go of his past and enjoy a different course for his life with Jesse but Sara won’t let go.

This book is really hard for me to wrap my head around. On the one hand I loved the intensity of the story. I loved how dark the subject matter was. But, on the other hand....i had some problems with the main characters and how they reacted to certain situations. This is my first book my Aly Martinez, and I enjoyed her style. This book has drama, but it’s also funny, sweet, swoony and romantic, and there are some clever little twists in there as well. Plus, it was a freebie on Amazon.
