Widow.
Years after her husband’s tragic death, years of pain and sorrow and wishing for the life she’ll never get back, Poppy decides to finish Jamie’s birthday list. She’ll do the things he wanted to most. Because maybe, just maybe, if she can complete his list, she can start to live again.
Poppy expects going through the birthday list will be hard. She expects it to hurt. But what she doesn’t expect is Cole. Could the man who delivered the news of her husband’s death and
shattered her heart be the one to help her put it
back together again?

Turning to the door, I smiled, ready to greet my
late-evening customer, but faltered as the door closed behind him.
Cole Goodman was walking my way.
My belly dipped as I took him in. His aviator sunglasses
were perched on top of his chocolate-brown hair. A black polo stretched across
his broad shoulders and pulled tight across his muscled arms. His pale-blue
jeans molded to his Herculean thighs before draping down to his black,
square-toed boots. The leather belt on Cole’s trim waist held both a shining
badge and a holstered gun.
Cole smiled and locked his light-green eyes on mine as he
crossed the room.
His straight, white teeth made my breath hitch—something
that had happened last night more times than I wanted to admit.
Molly, who had turned around from her seat to greet our
customer, spun around so her back was to Cole. Her cheeks flushed as she
whispered, “Wow.”
Wow
was right.
Cole Goodman was—simply put—gorgeous.
He could give a woman a speeding ticket and get a thank-you
in return. He inspired women to attempt push-ups in a karate class just for the
chance to watch him sweat through his gi. Cole made grown women blush like
teenagers and giggle in corners, like those girls at the dojo last night.
I adore this book. It broke my heart, but Poppy and Cole made me smile. I recently discovered this author's work with her last series, The Jamison Valley, and knew I couldn't wait for this new standalone. And The Birthday List did not disappoint.
The Birthday List is an unique story about overcoming a tragic event, mending a broken heart and finding love again. Poppy believed her happily ever after with her husband, Jamie, is going to be forever, until one tragic night changed it all.
Jamie was working on his "birthday list" -- essentially a bucket list for every year before he passed away. And when Poppy decides to finish it for him, she discovers a lot more about herself. She learns that she is stronger than she thinks and letting Jamie go is not forgetting him. Ugh--seriously, I felt for Poppy throughout this read!
What Poppy never expected is in running into the cop, Cole, who delivered the tragic news five years prior. And now there's something about this cop, she can't stop thinking about. And Cole is willing to take it slow to help Poppy move on from her past, but never forgetting it. Cole couldn't have been more supportive and sweet!
I won't spoil what happens if/how Poppy finishes Jamie's list, but I will say, this book brought me to tears and joy. Losing a loved one is never easy, but it gets easier over time.
