It's been ages since I tried reading this book and from what I can remember, I wasn't in the mood to read it so I kept putting it down and then I never got around to reading it. I did purchase a copy of the book so hopefully, I'll get around to reading it sometime.

Tuesday is best friends with and lives with Natalie, Paddy's girlfriend. She's been around the Hurley boys for a while now. But the moment she and Ezra lock eyes on each other, something zings with them. When they run into each other, both out shopping, they decide to have dinner and share a hot kiss. Months later, another kiss. But on the night Ezra closes the tour with his brothers after a five year absence from the stage, they can't keep their hands off each other. That also happens to be the night that, youngest brother Vaughn's, daughter is rushed to the hospital with an appendicitis.

Things go from there and they get to know each other. This is the first time since the death of her husband, from cancer, that Tuesday has had any real feelings for a man. To the point that she's scared that what she feels for Ezra is stronger than what she had for her deceased husband, and how can that be?

Ezra, on the other hand, feels the same need and desire he felt when he used heroin, which scares him to his core. He avoids time with Tuesday, as much as he can, to prove that he's not addicted to her. But the more time he does spend with her, the more he wants her.

As their lives start to integrate more with each other, friends, family, and meeting Tuesday's family, Tuesday has counsel from both her mother and Natalie that guides her to understanding that what she has with Ezra is okay, even if it's more than she felt for her dead husband.

Ezra doesn't share. Being the oldest brother, he's always felt it was his place to take care of everyone else. Even if he seemed to feel more than everyone else, though he never really shows it. But holding back from Tuesday is an ache he doesn't want to feel anymore.

I really loved this one. Especially because Tuesday is African-American and Ezra is Caucasian. I think the author did a great and sensitive job, showing how overt and subtle racism can be. What Tuesday experienced in the feed store is not something that happens every day, but does happen. But explaining how small it can also be, to the point where if you point it out to someone who isn't African-American, they could think you are crazy. But we as African-American's know what's happening. I loved how Tuesday explained the differences to Ezra. And that getting upset and causing a scene doesn't change or make anything different.

I loved how they talked about it and her experiences, about her brother being told that he couldn't swim and then going on to be a champion swimmer through college.

I liked this book because I think the author handled the overtness and the subtleties of an interracial couple learning to love each other as human beings and not their race, extremely well.

I loved Tuesday and how strong and smart she was. I think Ezra learning his lesson as a former drug addict was awesome. It was what Natalie's character had to walk away from her father for, with him not learning his. I got that.

Not sure I'm looking forward to Vaughn's story, as I'm not the biggest fan of second chance romances. But I want to read the entire series, so I will listen to it.
