On Mystic Lake by Kristin Hannah

Annie and Blake were taking their daughter to the airport, because she was going to London for spring. After dropping her off and they get home, he tells her that he wants a divorce. It sends her for a loop. She's loved him for almost 20 years. He also tells her that he's been sleeping with someone else. I think in a way she sort of new that he'd been doing that for awhile. 

So she cried for a few days, maybe a week. Then, decides to go back home and visit her dad in Mystic. It might help her or it might be worse. After a few more days of crying her dad is getting tired of it and tells her to do something. She says she might as will go get a make over. She meets a quickie women that gives her a short hair cut and changes everything she looks like. She also hears about Nick. Nick lost his wife about a year ago and he has a daughter Izzy. She doesn't talk. 

She decides to go out and see him. Ask him if she can help him out by watching his daughter. When he opens the door and sees her. He's surprised. He lets her in. He gets them something to drink and grabs a blanket. He heads to the lake. They both sit down and it becomes a little strange between them, tell he moves closer to her and kisses her and then the clothes come off. Pretty much they have crazy hot sex right there and afterwards, she thinks, what the hell did she do. He tells her not to feel bad and she runs for the car. He follows. How does Monday sound concerning Izzy. 

Nick's a cop in the town. Once Annie starts watching Izzy she notices that she's wearing a black glove. Izzy thinks she disappearing like her mother disappeared. It will take some time to get Izzy to come around and it doesn't help that her dad comes home late and has been drinking. There are a lot of things wrong in this family. It's going to take awhile to help them, which is what she's good at. 

After getting angry at him and telling him he needs to be home for his daughter. It takes him getting into an accident to wake him up. He begs Annie to take him to a motel and watch his daughter while he deals with himself. He starts going to AA meetings and it will be a one day at a time thing. 

After having feelings for Nick and getting closer to him and his daughter, Blake shows up. She also finds out that she's pregnant with his child. It just about breaks Nicks's heart to see her go back home. 

Lets put it this way, with all the ups and downs in this book. I was wanting a happy ending. Love, real close, heart thumping love doesn't happen for everyone. This book had tore my heart out more then once. I couldn't put it down. Pick it up and read it if you haven't yet.
