My Review
Five Stars
The Two of Us was the first book I've read by Bylin and I completely loved it! I couldn't read it fast enough, it was just that good!
After a failed engagement, nurse practitioner Mia Robinson is wanting a new start in life. Hoping to get a job with an international aid organization, Mission Medical, she'd be helping people and seeing the world at the same time. But when she gets a phone call from her teenage sister Lucy informing her that she's eloping in Las Vegas, Mia adjusts her plans a bit. After Jake Tanner's partner Connie Waters was killed in the line of duty, his dream is to open a camp for kids of fallen officers. Having helped and mentored Connie's adult son Sam, Jake finds himself in Vegas for Sam's hasty wedding. Coming together to be there for their loved ones, could Jake and Mia find their own chance at love?
Mia's reserved, organized, and always thoroughly thinks things through before making a decision which is the complete opposite of her younger sister Lucy. Lucy has a good heart, but is very impulsive. Mia's very protective of Lucy, having raised her since she was ten. Sam's a guy who takes his responsibilities seriously and though he's made mistakes, owns up to them. And Jake... oh... Jake! From the very first scene, he stole my heart! He has a lot that he's dealing with, but he's a wonderful guy who's doing his best to help others. Pirate, Jake's service dog, was awesome! It's amazing everything that service dogs can do and I loved reading about him!
This book deals with some tough but realistic issues. One of which was Alzheimer's Disease. Alzheimer's is a cruel and terrible disease. As someone who's watched a loved one (my Grandma) struggle with it, I could feel the character's heartache in dealing with the disease. It's gut-wrenching at times, but a sad reality many people face.
The Two of Us is a fantastic contemporary novel that I highly recommend! It left me with so many emotions. I laughed, I shed some tears. It was a special book that I hope many people will check out! I can't wait to read Bylin's other books!
I received a copy of this book from the publisher. All thoughts and comments are my own honest opinion.
