Love Built To Last
Maddie lost her husband 4 years ago and can't let go of him. Any time that she has a decision to make she asks her husband, Jack, what she should do. She gets his answer by reaching into the pile of papers still on his desk and pulling out a sheet. She believes that his answer is on the page she pulls out. She meets Caleb when she hires him to renovate her kitchen. Jack told her he was the best man for the job so that's who she used. They are both surprised by the attraction they feel for each other.
When I started reading this book I thought Maddie was nuts but I soon saw that she was having a hard time letting go of her husband after he died. I felt very sorry for her and her loss but can't say I actually liked her. Caleb, on the other hand, was a very good and caring man. I liked the way he understood Maddie's problem of wanting to hang on to her husband. He was also a great father to his young son, CJ. I loved the secondary characters and how they helped move the story along. CJ was the cutest little boy who was so attached to Maddie's dog, Pirate, that I liked every scene with them together. Maddie's in-laws were great in pushing her to move forward with her life. Her mother-in-law and mother were a hoot as matchmakers.
This book covers the sensitive subject of how hard it is to survive after losing a loved-one. But if we let it happen, we can find love again.
Please note I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
