Carrie Halligan never regretted the choice she made sixteen years ago to raise her son Jack by herself in Willow Bay, Michigan. A successful photographer by day, at night Carrie satisfies her musical passions by playing piano at a hotel bar, maintaining a balance that works for her and Jack. Walking away from Maestro Liam Reilly without telling him she was pregnant with his child may have been the hardest thing she’d ever done, but it was definitely the right thing.
When Liam shows up in town to perform a benefit concert with the local symphony, however, Carrie’s carefully crafted life spins out of control. After sending Jack to summer camp, she realizes she can’t keep Liam in the dark forever. Telling the truth to the man she once loved more than life itself isn’t near as hard as spending time in his presence and realizing that the years haven’t diminished his power over her heart. Will her lie be too much to get past, or will the spark of passion between them overcome everything?

Reviewer’s Thoughts
I really enjoyed reading about Carrie, Liam, and Jack. This book is different than a lot of other romances out there. This book didn’t include a lot of hiding feelings and not saying what they were thinking. There are some books where the whole plot could have been avoided by being honest. Carrie and Liam missed out on a lot of time together, but once they decided to commit, they did. This book was realistic to me in that way. There was a directness a lot of romances lack. I loved the musicality of this book. Music was a big theme in the story. It is what connected them together. I enjoyed the love scenes. There was enough to make you swoon but not so much you were desensitized. Carrie, Liam and Jack (and the host of other characters) are lovable, believable and memorable. I really enjoyed this book.
