***

The Life that Mattered is book was good and was completely engrossing. I can't go into too much detail without giving away the story or the secrets in the book. I can say that the book starts off with a bang and gives away some of those secrets right away, but then back tracks to the past, before those circumstances come to pass. You know as a reader that there are some bad things to come, which gave me a horrible feeling of dread and fear throughout the book as I was waiting for them to happen.

This book is Evelyn's story. We meet her two best friends, a married couple she has known for years, Lila and Graham. We see Evelyn meet, fall in love with Ronin, and see how their relationships develops into a happy life together. But then things start falling apart and it seems like it will be hard to fix. I really liked Evelyn and Ronin. They seem to be a great couple who loves each other a lot. I want them to be happy. But I didn't really like or trust Lila and Graham. I think they will ruin Evelyn's life somehow.

Overall, this book was hard to put down. The writing was good. I am just a wimp and don't love gut-clenching angst. This book ends in a big cliffhanger. I am a little afraid to read the next book because I know there are still some huge, terrible things to come. But I want to keep reading at the same time because I want to know what happens. I am crossing my fingers that Ms. Ann can make everything okay in Evelyn's world again!

About Jewel

Jewel is a free-spirited romance junkie with a quirky sense of humor.

With 10 years of flossing lectures under her belt, she took early retirement from her dental hygiene career to stay home with her three awesome boys and manage the family business.

After her best friend of nearly 30 years suggested a few books from the Contemporary Romance genre, Jewel was hooked. Devouring two and three books a week but still craving more, she decided to practice sustainable reading, AKA writing.

When she’s not donning her cape and saving the planet one tree at a time, she enjoys yoga with friends, good food with family, rock climbing with her kids, watching How I Met Your Mother reruns, and of course…heart-wrenching, tear-jerking, panty-scorching novels.
