Clara has buried her past and started over with Sawyer her friend, and business partner. Together they raise her daughter Clara and run their shop, but when Clara meets Dom while she is out of town visiting friends her quiet life gets turned upside down. Suddenly Dom is making her think about what and who she really wants. If she decides to chase her dreams she risks exposing her past and destroying the safe life she has built for her daughter. Can Clara trust herself enough to follow her heart? I like Clara she is straightforward and direct when she has to deal with a situation, but by her own admission she shies away from the hard parts of life especially the emotional ones. Sawyer is in some ways the man she has always wanted, he keeps her safe and treats her daughter as his own, yet he tries to give Clara space to follow her heart. Dom is the man every woman dreams of on some level rich, good looking, hot and sweet. Dom and Sawyer are almost polar opposites of each other in some ways and Clara must find a way to choose between them not an easy task, yet she does her best. I enjoyed the tension between the characters and watching Clara figure things out. I didn't like this book at all.I hated how weak she was in the end, vowing to change and make herself worthy of him. Barf.Why, after perusing her for months and being willing to donate a kidney to her daughter (for crying out loud) did Dominic suddenly take the word of a man who he believes raped his girlfriend, that she is a lying whore? What?She kept secrets to protect herself and her daughter and he said he understood that. What, until he didn't and suddenly she's an "asshole" and unworthy of his time? AND, she just takes it? Tries to apologize? Gag.And, why did her ex-fiance randomly show up with her mother and then meekly go away when the door is closed on them? What the hell was that about? Weak story about nasty men and an, ultimately, weak woman.
What do You think about Tug Of War (2013)?
Not really sure I liked either of the main characters ....up there with 50 shades of shit!
