To do the right thing doesn’t always mean doing the right thing…

Synopsis

Three isn’t always a magic number … 
There are three reasons Tess Fenton should be happy. One, her job at the Blue Olive deli may be dull, but at least she gets to work with her best friend. Two, she lives in a cosy cottage in the pretty village of Halston. Three, she’s in love with her boyfriend, Blake. 

Isn’t she? 

Because, despite their history, Blake continues to be the puzzle piece in Tess’s life that doesn’t quite fit. And when she meets intriguing local artist Daniel Cavanagh, it soon becomes apparent that, for Tess, love isn’t as easy as one, two, three … 

 My review

Tess seems to have it all, working with her best friend, living in a nice cottage and is in a relationship with Blake.
But she feels that being together with Blake isn’t what she really wants. So should she stay with him, or should she decide to move on without him?

When she has made up her mind and wants to tell Blake about it, he himself has some news to tell. And this will jeopardize the future Tess was imagining.
Because the meeting with local artist Daniel Cavanagh stirs more than she thought!

I just loved it! This is a story about a woman who has made up her mind and wants to do what’s best for her.
But she has a strong sense of responsibility and also wants to do the right thing. And doing the right thing she will do, even if this in contrast with what she wants…
And doing the right thing also means to forget about the attraction she feels for Daniel. Because she is not one to cheat…

Daniel is also an amazing guy, as he realizes what Tess is holding back. He admires her for her selfish actions and believes that being friends with her is better than nothing at all.
A man who respects a woman’s wishes, isn’t that just perfect!

But honesty forces me to tell you that I was furious about Blake his actions… The lies he is telling are just atrocious… knowing the real struggles of someone in that situation and that Blake sees no harm in it, it’s just disgusting…

Tess and Daniel are becoming friends, and Tess shows what an amazing and supportive friend she truly is.

Both of them are so lovely people, respectful, taking care of those in need, being friends in the true meaning.

I had the urge to strangle Blake, but was full of admiration for Tess and also Daniel was a real friend…

I had several laughs and was exasperated when there were misunderstandings. But I finished the book with a smile on my face and with happy emotions!
