ReviewI enjoyed this book, it is the first in the Indigo Girls series, where best friends, Julia, Ellen, Jae and Abby each have their own stories, I am looking forward to all the other girls stories, but this one is about Julia, although I felt this one was more about Mark, the supposed hero in this story, who is Julia’s husband, there was some references to Julia and her side of the story, but I felt that most of the storyline was about Mark and his feelings for her and his troubles at work, which was a shame as I would have loved to have learnt more about how she struggled on after Mark left, I just think that Mark was a bit of a jerk really, what kind of man leaves his wife after she has lost their baby, he disappears from the face of the earth, it’s great that we learn he has been just spending his time at work, but what kind of man is he to do that in the first place, I know everyone deals with those sad occasions differently, but he was just all wrong, his one saving grace was that he was a police officer on a drug squad, which led to another problem, the storyline mentions a mole at the office, but this then led nowhere, did they find the mole? Was it someone close to him or will that little titbit be showing up in the other girls stories? Anyway enough of my rant, The story was good, the fact that Julia had her family and friends to support her was great, I just can’t believe that she would take him back, I know love conquers all but he would have had to do some serious grovelling to get me back, after doing that to me.  I did genuinely enjoy this book, the drama of the kidnapping, the fact that Julia had a family willing to stand up for her when Mark came back on the scene, I loved Julia’s father, he was always in there ready to sort Mark out, he is the epitome of what a father should be like when someone hurts his baby girl, The bad guy Big John, seemed to have a real jones for Mark, which was scary, but this just brought Julia and Mark closer together which was great for the happy ending, I thought the story was well written, I would recommend this book to anyone who really likes happy endings, for me I would have preferred to have seen them have a baby, that would have finished the story for me, as that is why they fell apart in the first place, it just would have made a fantastic ending, the story would have been complete, for me anyway, that is just my opinion, hopefully as the girls are such good friends, maybe there will be a mention in the rest of the series, I would give this book 3/5,  I am Sorry it’s not more,
