Nate Braden has loved his best friend’s younger sister Jewel for as long as he can remember, but between their age difference and his respect for Rick, he’s always kept his feelings at bay. Now he’s back in Peaceful Harbor, and Jewel is no longer sixteen years old—but there’s an even bigger obstacle standing in his way. Nate and Rick joined the military together eight years earlier. Nate came home a hero, but Rick didn’t make it out alive.

Nate and Jewel known each other for a while but she was his best friends younger sister and he wasn't going to get into it. Its been year and his best friend died during a routine check and Nate is going through survivor guilt feeling like he had something to do with it. Its been two years since the death of her brother and Jewel is having a hard time deal thing with and has come up with routines and such to keep herself busy not leaving much time to have a life. Nate is holding the secret of his part in the death of her brother and with each day that he and Jewel get close the reveal can either make their relationship stronger or break it all together.

I really enjoyed reading this book. Watching each character progress learning to change, accept and go through each grievance was interesting. Everyone grieves in different ways. I loved that there was the dual point of view between Nate and Jewel. This book is very well written and the way each character was described it was hard to believe that they were just characters in a book. I feel that the book was a bit predictable but I loved how these character handled their situations. Overall this is a fantastic book and I recommend you lovely readers to check it out.
