I’ve been many things in my life: daughter, friend, student, lover, wife\u2026and now, widow. Getting past those labels and finding who I could be without them was the hardest thing I’ve ever done.
Then I became friends with Brendon Connolly. 
Every time I look at him, I see a past, I see a present, and I\u2019m afraid if I look too hard, I\u2019ll see a future.

~~~

I’ve known Harmony Wynham since before she got married. Before she lost everything. I didn\u2019t know that one day she wouldn\u2019t be just my friend but the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.
Only I don’t think that can happen. 
Not when every time she looks at me, she sees what she lost, and I can only see what I can’t overcome.
I love her, even though I shouldn’t. Somehow, we need to find a balance. 
Because if we don’t, walking away will be the hardest thing I’ve ever done\u2014even if it’s the only thing I should do.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

 I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader\u2019s Copy of this book


Hope you have your tissues handy for this one folks because you will need them!  
Next up in our Fractured Connections group is Harmony and Brendon.
Harmony, at such a young age, has now  dealt with two huge losses; the sudden death of her husband and now the death of one of her best friends.  
Brendon and Harmony were friends in school, her husband was his business partner, and they are learning to be friends again.
Brendon is someone who did not have a great home life until Jack and Rose and even though he had a better life after those early years did a number on him.
Harmony has started dating again, much to her dismay, and is only happy with her dates when she talks to Brendon afterwards.
Brendon has secret feelings for Harmony but feels that he is not good enough for her for several reasons of which I will not go into because you gotta read the book!!! LOL!!! 
Both characters are very well written and makes you have tons of feelings for them.  I love the way they develop from friends to more than friends, its something for her that is just like \u201cthere you are, where have you been\u201d. For him it was like \u201c I love her but she can do so much better,\u201d  yes he had feeling for her but they didn\u2019t come about until after the death of her husband
There is sooooo much to say about this book but I really don\u2019t want to spoil it for anyone.  
Ryan has once again wrote a beautiful story grounded in real life.
If you know anything about Carrie Ann Ryan you know this one hit close to home, but as she says in the Author\u2019s note this is not her story this is Harmony\u2019s and I think  Harmony, Brendon and Moyer justice.
