Release & Review: Shouldn't Have You





Title: Shouldn't Have You

Series: Fractured Connections #2
Author: Carrie Ann Ryan
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 21, 2019




I've been many things in my life: daughter, friend, student, lover, wife…and now, widow. Getting past those labels and finding who I could be without them was the hardest thing I've ever done.

Then I became friends with Brendon Connolly.

Every time I look at him, I see a past, I see a present, and I’m afraid if I look too hard, I’ll see a future.

~~~

I've known Harmony Wynham since before she got married. Before she lost everything. I didn’t know that one day she wouldn’t be just my friend but the woman I wanted to spend the rest of my life with.

Only I don't think that can happen.

Not when every time she looks at me, she sees what she lost, and I can only see what I can't overcome.

I love her, even though I shouldn't. Somehow, we need to find a balance.

Because if we don't, walking away will be the hardest thing I've ever done—even if it's the only thing I should do.

This is the second of the series of a group of friends who have honestly been through so much tragedy.  I am happy they have each other, but my goodness.  The book is a great friends to lovers romance with the added angst that Brendon was Harmony's husband's best friend as well.  

For me, the guilt and the grief was almost overwhelming the rest of the story.  I haven't been in their place. But it seemed to me that there should have come a point where there was light and hope.  And although the author expressed those feelings between Harmony and Brendon, I was not feeling the emotion between these two.  

I love the group of friends. I loved the banter back and forth.  The brother's relationship makes the story for me.  I am looking forward to more in this series.  The first book was better. This one was ok and I'm hopeful the next one will blow me away.
