I never questioned them and always strived to be the best. I thought I knew what I wanted in life until I didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>One mistake, and the straight path I had planned was suddenly crooked. Goals that I\u2019d worked for since I was little didn\u2019t seem so important anymore; And the one place I never thought I\u2019d go back to was the only place I wanted to be\u2026 home, where I found comfort in the most unlikely place.<\/p>\n<p>At six years my senior, Brock Foster has always been unattainable. He was the boy that filled my fantasies. I resigned myself years ago to never feel his touch, never know what his kisses were like, or to have him wrap me in his arms. I never thought when I came home that he would still be there, or that he\u2019d remember me.<\/p>\n<p>Sometimes the future that we think we want isn\u2019t what we need. Sometimes those bumps and turns mold us into who we were always meant to be, and sometimes they lead us to who we should have always been with.<\/p>\n<p>Brock Foster helped me to embrace my path. He taught me to stop and catch the raindrops, and open myself to love again.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6166\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png?resize=113%2C51\" alt=\"\" width=\"113\" height=\"51\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/33153019-catching-raindrops?ac=1&amp;from_search=true\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6156\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png?resize=158%2C45\" alt=\"\" width=\"158\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Heather-DAgostino\/e\/B00GHMH0LM\/ref=sr_ntt_srch_lnk_1?qid=1483202137&amp;sr=8-1\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6154\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png?resize=230%2C50\" alt=\"\" width=\"230\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I received this book for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>Oh boy Nick Sutter there is a new Alpha in town.\u00a0 Who cares that he is a former student, good friend and trusted member of your football staff\u2026he is going to become you enemy to the 100<sup>th<\/sup> degree!!!\u00a0 Ok it\u2019s not THAT serious but when a man makes a play for your baby girl\u2026\u2026daddy isn\u2019t going to like it or him very much!!\u00a0 Yeah can you tell I loved seeing Nick get so fired up and having Leah there to \u201ctalk him off the ledge\u201d so to speak!!??<\/p>\n<p>Emma Sutter loved Brock for as long as she can remember but given there was a 5 year age gap there was no way anything was going to happen plus it\u2019s not like he thought of her that way.<\/p>\n<p>Brock Stone always was drawn to Emma but she was hands off for 2 reasons : her age and her daddy!!<\/p>\n<p>When Emma is in college but returns for the summer the two have a chance meeting.\u00a0 He knew her right away but she wasn\u2019t so sure.\u00a0 The chemistry is there and crazy thick.\u00a0 They start sneaking around behind old dad\u2019s back.\u00a0 Brock and Emma are falling fast and hard but the sneaking around is wearing Brock down.\u00a0 When Emma is about to come clean to her folks about Brock, her past comes crashing down hard all around her.\u00a0 Secrets she never wanted told are revealed and she is left drowning.\u00a0 Brock is a mess and confused.<\/p>\n<p>This book makes my heart so happy but I am left confused\u2026.do I stay with Team Nick or do I jump on to Team Brock?\u00a0 Any fan of the Shattered Series will be as excited as I was to read this book.\u00a0 I loved revisiting all of my old favorites, plus seeing their kids grown up.\u00a0 I can\u2019t wait for Aaron and Ryan\u2019s books because those boys\u2026..especially Aaron are trying my nerves!!!!\u00a0 Kick his butt Mel!!!<\/p>\n<p>My favorite scenes : The letter Leah gives to Em\u2026teary I tell ya annnd the Epilogue.\u00a0 OMG Nick Sutter you are a trouble maker!!!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Melindas-Review.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6161\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Melindas-Review.png?resize=245%2C50\" alt=\"\" width=\"245\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I received a copy of this book for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>I loved the Sutter family so to be able to see their children grow and watch their parents struggle with the children&#8217;s decisions was amazing.\u00a0 They are my family I feel what they feel.<\/p>\n<p>Emma went away to college but is now home on summer break.
