Love You, Always
Caring for her three children had been Anna’s only priority in the aftermath of losing the man she’d loved since they were seventeen years old. Forced to move forward with her life, Anna was reeling as she enrolled in college. There she made a friend who had been there and done that, hired a sexy younger man to tutor her in math, who also taught her how to have fun again, and she met a man to love her, whether she wanted him to or not. The lessons in life Anna received over her first year of college gave her the strength to live again.

I was struggling with this book for more than one week. It was slow paced, it was "same old same old" all over again...
I wish this story was more short.
The heroine didn't grieve her husband's death, and she was struggling with her life.
Safety: there is a love triangle, there are some scenes with OP, H and h pushing away....

i found this gem for free on Amazon. What a wonderful surprise. This book had me in tears, laughing out loud and feeling warm and fuzzy. I loved every page.
This was the first book that I read by Christin Cooper and I am addicted. I cannot wait to sink my teeth into the next installment!

The Run Down:
Anna is the Mother of Nate, Claire, & Jackey
Sister: Kimmie, Inlaws: Pete & Amber, along with lots of best friends
Add her Math tutor Brad and her College Professor Adam and you have a full cast
Anna was happily married to Ryan, but he was hit by a drunk driver and killed. Eighteen months later the story really begins. The youngest is going to pre-school, two teenagers in high school, and Anna is taking classes at College. This all happens before she really has taken time to grieve the loss of her husband.
This book tells the ups and downs with kids and school, and about a woman who reguardless of all her friends, is still a lonely woman. You will see what I mean, as you read through this book.
This is a book that will cause you to cry at times and cause you to laugh at times. You might even get a little angry with some people, but to me that makes a great book.
I loved the ending, even though I cried a lot, but, I also got my largest laugh at the end. I will tell no names about who made me laugh or about what caused it, but I laughed out loud, then read that part to my husband.
I hope you will get this book and read it.

If I could give it above a 5 Star rating, I would.
Anna and Ryan's life couldn't be more perfect. Imagine growing up with your best friend and true love. Three kids and loving in-laws on both sides.
All it took was one day to take that happiness away. How long does it take to heal from a wound that cuts so deep? The plan was for forever and now the plan is to get by and have some type of normalcy.
18 months pass and Anna is trying to put one foot in front of the other. Preschool, teenagers and College are no small feat. Thank goodness for a loving family and extra help when life gets complicated.
Healing, hurting and sexy guys, "Oh my." I caught myself crying every other chapter and could not put this book down. A true mix of real world realities and loss that will tear your heart apart and then put it all back together.

Love is unpredictable and sometimes it hurts especially when your lover is killed by a drunk driver one night. That is what happens to Anna and she has to pick up the pieces of her and her three children; while going back to college earlier than was meant in the plans her and her husband, Ryan, had made. The day she starts school she meets a professor, Adam, who happens to have the hots for her. She lets him and as things start to click, Anna loses herself in self destructive behavior. She lets Adam go and is forced to finally deal with her loss. After sometime the loss becomes acceptable and she realizes that she had fallen in love with the professor. The thing is it looked like he had moved on so thing don’t look good until they do.

This is one of those books I usually avoid...because I can't imagine loosing my husband as what happens to Anna. But I am glad I pushed myself to read it because it is simply beautiful. Continuing living for your children after your husband's sudden death, with no way to move on sounds like depressing material for a book. In fact it is a beautiful love story shown in so many ways. I cried. I laughed. I held my breath. I am so glad I read it. I can't say enough good things about this wonderfully written book. Do yourself a favor---read it! It will enrich your life, and you will be glad you did. Well done Ms Cooper!!

Anna lost the love of her life, and now she has to circumvent her grief enough to prepare to take care of her family, by taking college courses. There's just one problem, she can barely handle the math course. With the help of a hot young tutor and the sexy professor, she might turn out to get more than just math as her concern! Is she ready to go from widow to available? Can she let her grief go?
This book is a fun read, and it's not all romance and sums. Anna's children help keep it real.

Loved it
Felt the deep love, deep heartache, and the deep confusion Anna had for her husband and children. Then felt the deep confusion she felt for having feelings for other men in her life after her husbands death. The deep depression she fought threw to finally realize she could be a good mother and was deserving of another great love in her life

Is the widow choices
Wow!! Chapter 52 😥 is amazing and make me crying!!!
Well my daughter has an ashes of her beloved husband after 35years no children. How many lessons of life gives that book about,love,forgiveness, family values and loyalty to her dead husband. The best part is standalone story .Highly recommended

Love You, Always
I read Love, Ryan first so I knew the story that was Ryan and Anna. The death of Ryan had me shedding tears and things didn't get much better reading about Anna and their children trying to cope with the loss of such a special man. This story tore my heart out, twisted it constantly and then Adam put back in place.

Lovely
This book made me feel what Anna was feeling. I loved how she was torn between 2 very different types of men but ultimately chose the right man. I also loved how Adam cared for her children.

Cristin Cooper designed an emotional roller coaster ride for the reader. The reader won't be able to put this book down because of the characters and the plot!Personally I will be reading more of Cristin Cooper's books.

Loved this!
This book was really well written and draws the reader into the life of Anna and her family. I laughed and cried as I read it since I could understand Adam's feelings and his patience. Sometimes waiting makes it all worth the effort!

Great read
The story is about the loss of a best friend, husband, father and the emotions that go with it. The author introduces new characters into the story that make an impact on Anne's life. Loved this book!!!

I debated between a 4 or a 5 star rating
Although there’s no intrigue, it is well written and well edited. It was not difficult to pick up this book to read. I didn’t have to force myself but it’s not a book that I will read again
No wow effect.

Loosing someone is tough
This book was sad, but it took you through what grieving a loss is like. Anna lost her husband, and she tried to move forward and found it very difficult even when she found a professor she just couldn't stay away from. This book was a very good read.

Second chance at love
Anna has a hard time coping after her husband's death. When love comes around more than a year later she pushes it away . Her journey is romantic and poignant.
