Married...AgainThey were married but like some marriages there were cracks. He would leave for long periods of time due to his work...no passion. She was stuck in a country where she did not know the language. After a passionate argument she left to go back home. He came back and found her gone. Instead of going after her he went back out one more time. But he became lost and feared dead. Now fast forward two plus years she has a striving business with possibly a new love interest. When he shows...
SweetI enjoyed their story and the hero was vulnerable and strong at the same time. It was a bit over the top with the Daniel character which is why it’s only three stars.
