A Unique Storyline!
5 out of 5 star
SOMEBODY LIKE YOU is an amazing love story born out of
tragedy.
After the death of her husband in Afghanistan, Haley Ames is
taking one day at a time, putting one foot in front of the other, and being the
strong independent woman she has always been. But when she sees her husband on
her front porch, she’s sure the Army has made a mistake and she’s been blessed
with a miracle. Those feelings are quickly dashed when the man standing in
front of her introduces himself as Stephen, her husband’s twin brother−a
brother she never even knew her husband had. Haley wants nothing to do with
Stephen. Looking at him only reminds her of all she’d lost. But Stephen isn’t going to give up that easy.
He has an unexplainable need to protect Haley and help her through the changes
that are coming her way. Though they both must deal with the loss of a husband
and a brother, they also have the chance at a bright future if they can only look
beyond the pain.
I loved this story and the way the author handle this most unorthodox
story line. With Haley so in love with the memory of her husband, I wasn’t sure
how she would allow herself to explore feelings for Stephen without feeling a
sense of betrayal. But Ms. Vogt handled this paradox quite well. Haley is strong
and self-sufficient−absolutely the kind of female character I myself (I am an
author) like to create. But she also has
a soft side and emotional needs that even she doesn’t know she desires to be
filled. Stephen is the epitome of silent strength. Watching his feelings grow
for Haley, knowing she might never return his affections was both gut-wrenching
and moving.
I can’t say much more without giving away keys to the story.
I will just say that I really enjoyed SOMEBODY LIKE YOU and recommend it
whole-heartedly!
