This is my first by this author, but it definitely won’t be my last. This is a second chance for both main characters,. Sweet, clean story and fast moving.. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series.

Thank you NetGalley and BooksGoSocial!
We all have pondered whether it is better to have loved and lost then to never have loved at all. Since the Day We Danced answers the famous question and proves that is in fact better to have loved and lost.
It is natural to feel dazed when life careens off course and the unexpected happens. One day you are married with a son and a literal picket fence. Next thing you know you and that son are standing next to one another looking at a casket that marks not only an end to a life, but also to the end to a future you saw oh so clearly.
Grief is a complex experience one that has no starting point and has no ending point. Grief is continuous with its ebbs and flows. Grief is an opportunity to learn and grow. Grief is something that gives you the option that you yourself can stop living because of this loss or you can take it as an opportunity to see how fragile and short life is and live your own to the fullest.
The end of one life does not have to be the end of your own. You just have to choose to continue moving forward despite the weight of the despair some loss causes
Kerk Murray is able to take a complex experience and complex emotions and turn it into a simple story of faith, love, hope and second chances.

Fabulous. A real weepy and beautifully written romance and second chance love for both Luke and Emma. Throw in an acting up 17 year old, a violent ex, a reappeared absent father and there are some threads to weave in Hadley Cove. The altercations are well told, the dog is just as cute as can be and the show stealer. This is one of those books you read on and on as you are desperate to get to the HEA and yet it is so bittersweet when the book is finished as there is no more.

So good!
I’m glad that I picked up this book, it’s my first by this author, but I’m already looking forward to the next book in the series. This is a small town romance, second chance for both main characters, plus a cute dog and a troubled son. Emma and Luke’s path wasn’t easy or a straight line, but it was worth it. Sweet, clean story, well written and fast moving. Highly recommend.
Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book, but my opinions are my own.

Definitely in the mood for a beautiful escapist Nicholas Sparks type romance. This book definitely fits the bill. I love the string over at forty mark and also how the love story is going to weave in with the single dad troupe and a cute dog and his much more perfect can you ask for? I really haven't seen a book like this in awhile...it's long overdue. I'm so happy its in the Read now section as well.i look forward to sharing much more soon!
