BOOK DESCRIPTION:
All I’ve ever wanted was for someone to choose me. My mother didn’t. My father didn’t. The beautiful boy next door, who grew up to marry me, didn’t. Neither did the next man with whom I thought my heart was safe.
Back in the Bay area, three thousand miles from New York City, I can start fresh. Become one with the sea again, rise or fall on the tide of my own choices. But on the first day of my bright new life, the darkest shadows of my past follow me through my office door. The two men whose names are definitely not on my five-year plan.
If I let it consume me—my need for one man, my love for the other—the darkness will swallow me whole. I can’t let that happen. Not again. This time, the waves of emotion crashing against my heart won’t drown me. This time, I get to choose my happy ending.

Favorite Quotes:
My parents used to say that I was the
link between my brothers. I was the one who kept the peace— or started the
biggest fights.
“But I guess life is about taking risks as we search for that special
place,” he says, sounding like a fortune cookie from Ying Palace where we
ordered takeout almost every Wednesday. They never make sense but taste yummy,
and their quotes sound so beautiful.
Depression is something that’s all over me, even when I don’t want it.
I’ve tried to break away from it several times, but it’s my permanent companion.
We could call HGTV and have a show. Something like, Abandoned Houses Dusty
Edition.
His eyes are pleading me to say something, but I am catching his words.
They are like fluttering butterflies that one can see only once in a lifetime.
After my journey, love still has the same meaning it’s had for as long as
I can remember. It’s a verb, a noun, an adjective, and an adverb with many
meanings but it’s hard to explain in only a few words
Belonging wasn’t a clear verb for me until I met you…
My Review:
My Review:
Decisions,
decisions… what a conundrum. After a
lifetime of battling feelings of inadequacy and being “never enough,” as she
had essentially been abandoned or passed over by everyone who had ever mattered
to her, Hazel suddenly found herself having to choose between two adoring men who
were vying for her heart. One was her ex-husband
who had been her childhood best friend and first love, and the other was her
business partner and the man she has been secretly in love with for the last
two years. She felt deeply for both who
were successful, smart, sexy, and attentive.
Hazel was a wreck, drowning in indecision,
and miserable over the dilemma, but damn, I should have such problems!
Written from the
multiple POV of the three main characters, the emotive storylines were original,
entertaining, and well-crafted while the writing was richly poignant and
insightful, engaging, delectably sensual, and held my rapt attention throughout.
Ms. Burgoa’s characters are always uniquely
compelling, considerably flawed or damaged, and tend to ceaselessly pluck at my
curiosity as the cunning and wily wordsmith slowly reveals their motivations
and histories. I was as conflicted as Hazel
was and couldn’t decide whom she should select and waffled several times as I
gained more perspective on each one. To
my vast delight, the conclusion was even better than expected and infinitely
satisfying.
