I have read the other two books in this You and Me series and absolutely loved them. When I saw that the next installment was coming out I promptly told my friend/co-editor (who also happens to be the editor to the books) that I needed to get my hands on the book before it comes out to read and review. Once I downloaded it onto my Kindle I couldn’t wait to start reading it.
We first met Renee and Mark in the first book Missing You, Missing Me. Mark is a drummer for the band Maria, Maria. This book focuses basically on them. You do get the other characters from the other books but this, for the most part, is them. I was excited to start reading it. I couldn’t wait to see what their storyline was. Right off the bat, we find out what it is. Renee and Mark unable to have children. They ask Cleo to be a surrogate for them. This is an issue near to my heart. I do have three kids of my own but have been really thinking hard about offering to be a surrogate for my cousin who has tried on multiple occasions to get pregnant and is unable to. I was lucky enough to be able to get pregnant and carry my own children. I would love to be able to give her what she wants. Like Cleo’s husband, my husband is slightly against it. I also know several people close to me who had problems getting pregnant and at times stay pregnant. I can’t imagine what they went through.
The one way I could relate to Renee was losing herself, her identity once she married Mark since he was famous. I married my husband who’s name is also Mark when I was 6.5 months pregnant with our first child. I worked up until I had her then we decided that I would become a stay at home mom. Two more kids later and I still don’t work. Unless you count scooping ice cream from Memorial Day to Labor Day for my sister in law’s store. I had over those years lost who I was. I have slowly found myself again now that my kids don’t need me as a baby needs me. I think that is what Renee was dealing with she lost who she was being married to a famous rock star. I absolutely loved this book. Stayed up way too late some nights just to read one more chapter. I loved that the author added more of a romantic twist to the characters. Gave us some steamy bedroom scenes. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series, I hope that it is about Derek since he is the only one we haven’t heard from and we found out some new information about his love life.
