While reading this book my emotions were all over the place. I cried and loved right along with the characters. Sarah Goodman did an amazing job of pulling you into the book and it wouldn't let you go until the very end. It was very well written. Everyone at one time or another has lost someone they loved and can relate to what the characters are going through. This is a must read book!

After reading book 1 in this series I thought I had an idea of what to expect going into this book, however Sarah Goodman had this book go places I never would have thought of happening. Life's Next Chapter is another emotional ride. She touches on some very sensitive subjects, but she writes them in a very tasteful way. I laughed and I cried throughout this whole book. I loved the first book in this series , but I have to say this one was even better. It is very well written and will keep you turning pages.
Kate is a very strong female lead. She has divorced her husband due to him cheating on her. She is raising her daughters on her own with no help from her ex-husband She is set on concentrating on her daughters and her career.
Luke is a military veteran and a single dad. He has been hoping for the perfect family. He believes he has found that in Kate.
Kate and Luke's relationship seems perfect, but through in a crazy ex-husband, tragedy, and crazy funny kids and things can spiral out of control quick. With all of these factors you can never even guess what is going to happen next. I highly recommend this book!

Leah and Ethan's relationship is a beautiful story about a second chance at love. Sarah Goodman out did herself with this story. The sensitive subject matter about the abuse that Leah goes through is written so that the reader can understand what happened to her but not in so much detail that makes it hard to read. My heart broke the more I found out about Leah's past, Ethan is a wonderful man who will do anything for the one he loves, and the lengths he goes to protect Leah had me smiling from ear to ear. Once I started this book I could not put it down and can not wait to read more from Sarah Goodman. This is a must read book!
