Melissa's returned home, ready to forgive and focus on her future, but that all changes the day she gets a desperate phone call from Brian’s daughter, Erin. Thrown back into Brian’s tumultuous life, Melissa struggles to move beyond the pain of his broken promise.

This is book 3 in the Embrace Series and can be read as a stand alone, but the characters in the first two books are still in this series in book 3. Also, we are introduced to Brian in book one and Melissa in book 2. I suggest reading all three books. 

I gave this book 5 stars. 

What do you do when the love of your life marries your best friend? You get angry and hostile and you hate them both. But that only lasts for so long. Melissa was suppose to marry her high school sweetheart, they had it all planned out, but then she goes away to college and leaves Brian alone. He feels like he was betrayed in some way. Why couldn't she have gone to college closer so they could still be together and start a family? They both do things that they are not proud of. Now that is the past. The present-- well she hates them both. BOTH? Brian and her best friend (EX-best friend) Jules. Can she get past this pain she feels towards him and her? 

Brian finds out his wife is a cheater and his teenage daughter calls Melissa for help. Can she get past all the pain he has caused her to forgive? And to help his daughter. The daughter of Brian and her best friend? 

I love this series, it is fast paced and leaves you on the edge of your seat with each page you turn. This is my second favorite book in the series. I really loved this story, it broke my heart and I could feel her pain. I wanted to cry with her. I definitely felt her hostility I would have done the same. It takes a very strong woman to go through what she did. Dana writes some awesome leading women. 
Brian has his reasons for doing what he did. But is that enough to rectify what happened? I love this man and I am so glad I got to know him in the first two book so I wasn't as hard on him as if I just picked up the book and was like this is Brian. He was one of my favorite characters. And Brian loves hard! With his whole heart and his whole soul. These two together are fire and beautiful sparkly fireworks!!! Thank you for another beautiful book Dana! I can't wait to read your next !! <3
