I swear I read this one before, but GR never lies lol. It's a good book about two damaged people who marry despite their reservations. While I liked how well both Alex and Julia communicated about their pasts, I was a bit frustrated by them being unable to express their feelings toward each other as they changed, but then that's what makes the story. Both are lovely people and truly deserve each other. This is a well-written romance as one would expect from Ms. Putney and even if I maybe did read it before, I really enjoyed the book.
