Joey and Abby were best friends and lovers. Until he left for the military, and they eventually lost touch. Abby ended up marrying Joey's best friend Evan, when she got pregnant, but he never really loved her... Then Evan died, and Abby became a single mom. Eight years later, Joey is back, taking a class in community college, when he found to his surprise that the history professor was none other than his Abby. She promised to never let him go, and so did he. Now he's back, but it seems she had moved on... Or did she?
This book has some weird plotting that sort of acted as complications, but they didn't quite make sense. Abby's mother-in-law and brother-in-law apparently were hostile toward Abby because she kept baby Zoey away from them. Joey's father was a strictly religious MD that claims to know secrets about the night of Evan's death (let's just say he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound, but was there someone ELSE in the room?) and wants to keep the pair apart.
SPOILER
AHEAD
I WARNED YOU!
Then out of nowhere, the brother-in-law Malachi resorted to kidnapping baby Zoey. Then somehow, the mother-in-law, who's using a cane and walked very slowly, was able to get baby Zoey out of the house down to the police station. WUH? Then Malachi broke into Abby's house, and Joey had to charge in and save her, only to be arrested for "assault". All of the evil are really flat and boring. The good parts are good, the bad parts, however, balanced out the good, leaving it a mess. 3/5
