REVIEW
This book was just as good as the first one. It had drama, love, heartache, passion, and more. The characters were really engaging and the story was well written. I had no problem reading this in one sitting. Even though there were a few times my heart broke for the characters I couldn’t put the book down until I knew what would happen to all of them.
Alex, Isabel, and Jesse are all intertwined yet again and each have their own lessons to learn and decisions to make. They tugged at my heart and after reading this book, I understand their relationships a lot more. They all grow and learn a lot in the course of this story and I liked the direction the author took the book even if it was at the expense of the characters at times.
The story flowed nicely and it held my interest. The characters were well developed and it was nice to see how they have grown since the beginning. Even though there was a lot that happened Really good story and a 4 out of 5 books.
 
PROLOGUE
 
They say that beauty is in the eye of the beholder and that the eyes are the windows to the soul. Today, I see neither as I stare at the stranger in the mirror. There is nothing beautiful about me; I really don’t know what he sees. Even the dark circles around my eyes are cavernous and empty. They show no trace of someone who lives, only of someone who exists.
 
No matter how hard I try, there is nothing familiar about the person I used to be. I don’t know where to find myself because I don’t know where I’ve gone.
 
Who am I?
 
As I struggle to accept my fate, these are the things I know:
 
I am a mother and a sister.
 
I am no longer a wife.
 
I am someone else’s lover.
 
He took away my heart and the life we made together. I will never recover. This time, these wounds will never heal.
 
“Are you sure you have to leave tonight?”
 
The sound of his voice transports me back to the present, where I’m standing in his robe, in his bathroom, in his home. He encircles his arms across my chest and plants little kisses on my neck.
 
“Can’t you stay? I’ll take you home first thing tomorrow morning.”
 
“Sorry, I really have to go. I want to be home to see Eddie off to school.”
 
He tightens his hold and I relax my body against his. “You were absolutely amazing,” he whispers gruffly into my ear. “Stay with me a little longer. I’m not done taking care of you yet.”
 
One day at a time.
 
Tonight was all about forgetting but not yet forgiving. Filling but not replacing. And emerging from the abyss of loneliness knowing that I’ve pulled farther and farther away from the light.
 
 

Christine Brae is a full time career woman who thought she could write a book about her life and then run away as far as possible from it. She never imagined that her words would touch the hearts of so many women with the same story to tell. This is her second and final book in the Light in the Wound series. Her third book is scheduled to come out in late 2014.

When not listening to the voices in her head or spending late nights at the office, Christine can be seen shopping for shoes and purses, running a half marathon or spending time with her husband and three children in Chicago
