When Soledad Barnes discovers that her husband, Edward, has betrayed not only her (by having an affair with his much younger assistant) but also their family (by embezzling millions of dollars from his employer), she turns to an unlikely ally. Forensic accountant Judah Cross has been captivated by the brilliant and beautiful Soledad since running into her at a corporate event, but he’s appalled when he discovers she was married to the man whose crimes he exposed. Edward’s incarceration upends the lives of Soledad and her daughters, even as Judah tried to protect them. Using the homemaking skills learned from her Puerto Rican mother, Soledad reinvents herself as an influencer and is comfortably “dating herself.” She can’t fathom pursuing her growing feelings for Judah, especially since her daughters see him as the man who put their beloved father away, but she can’t ignore his persistent and delicious attention either.
VERDICT The second in Ryan’s “Skyland” series, after LJ Best Book Before I Let Go, is a gripping story recommended for readers who enjoy especially angsty and emotional romances like those of Colleen Hoover.
