So let's get into this book- it ripped my heart to shreds and then danced on the pieces. I did not at all think I would enjoy it, but it was such a powerful book. Quinn's struggle with Infertility and the effects it takes on, not only her, but her husband and their marriage is devastating. However, I think that Colleen does an exceptional job at capturing both the devastation and the hope that can be born when facing a Category 5 with someone you truly love. This was one of those books I feel like everyone should read at least once to better understand the struggles that so many face.
Spoiler:
You might be wondering, "why only 4 stars then?" and answering that is easy: it was the cheating. I guess you could say I'm looking past that very glaring flaw in Graham's character in order to find the perfect in this book because there was no excuse for that. 😅

This book completely wrecked me! I said earlier in this series if a man didn't love me like Dean Holder I didn't want it well baby I stand corrected! If my man doesn't love me like Graham Wells I don't want it and to be honest some of Graham's qualities I saw in my fiance as I read this book! I resonated with Quinn on so many levels because I suffer with infertility and for years it ate away at me.
This book allowed me to see myself and not feel so alone on this journey. Quinn was in a vicious cycle of hope and devastation and it almost led to the destruction of her marriage but it was Graham's love and their willingness to fight for each other that pulled Quinn and Graham out of the darkness to realize it's okay to want to have a child but it's also okay to live life.
We aren't always dealt the hand we think we deserve but it's how we persevere in the category 5 hurricanes that define us. This book hit home in many ways and at times left me in tears with all the feels. I'll say it again I love this series!
