I'm not sure if my 4 stars are a result of a great story or the fact that the past few books I've read have not exactly been fulfilling. Regardless, this was a short read but long on emotion and story.

Imagine you are a single 26-year old female, working in the family business, money and travel are limitless. Imagine that your father, who runs the investment company, takes a weekend a month to go off by himself to "re-group" as he says -- a routine that has a 14-year history with him. Then imagine you get a phone call that your father has been in a car accident that took his life -- and he wasn't alone in the car and the passenger was a female.

Christine, an only child and now without a father, must come to terms with the life of a man she thought she knew, but perhaps didn't. Like anyone who finds themselves in an arena filled with deception, shadows and unspoken truths, it stands to reason that someone is going to get hurt.

Most of the players in this story lived by the rule that what you don't know, won't hurt you -- when in reality they should have been using the playbook called "and the truth will set you free". Life disappoints sometimes, but if you are strong enough and want it bad enough, you can find something positive in even the darkest of situations. This was a story of removing blinders and opening your heart to the true meaning of happiness, throwing caution to the wind and following your dreams.

A little bit romance, a little bit family drama with a touch of mystery and a lot just an enjoyable and insightful read.
