I won this book in a Goodreads First Reads Giveaway. Loved it! Thank you very much! This is an awesome story about love, second chances and how dangerous secrets can destroy a family. Danielle Cooper's alcoholic and abusive husband died 4 months ago. And all he left her was...alone. She and her 5 year old twin sons are slowly starving to death on a barren and debt ridden 400 acre farm. Hale Cooper, Dani's brother-in-law hasn't been back home in 6 years, accused of a horrendous act that he did not commit. Dani was the only one who believed Hale was innocent. So when she texts him that she needs help, he immediately drives 1300 miles to be by her side. When Hale offers marriage in return for digging Dani out from her dead husband's foolish financial decisions, will she trust him with her heart or let guilt separate them forever? I enjoyed this book. It is a sweet, fast read filled with betrayal, secrets, and love. I enjoyed watching Hale and Danielle figure things out and (I know this is strange), but I enjoyed Hale's disability and how it worked with the story. I often find the use of a disability annoying in books because it feels like the author is using it as a plot device. Not in this book. The inability to hear fit seamlessly into the plot and while you were told about it a lot, it wasn't really used to move the plot line or cause unnecessary ruckus in the characters lives. It seemed totally real and I appreciated that.
