On their first wedding anniversary, Jesse is on a helicopter over the Pacific when it goes missing. Just like that, Jesse is gone forever.
Emma quits her job and moves home in an effort to put her life back together. Years later, now in her thirties, Emma runs into an old friend, Sam, and finds herself falling in love again. When Emma and Sam get engaged, it feels like Emma’s second chance at happiness.
That is, until Jesse is found. He’s alive, and he’s been trying all these years to come home to her. With a husband and a fiancĂ©, Emma has to now figure out who she is and what she wants, while trying to protect the ones she loves.
Who is her one true love? What does it mean to love truly?
Emma knows she has to listen to her heart. She’s just not sure what it’s saying." (Amazon.com)


Review
If you’re looking for a page-turning contemporary romance novel that has more depth than the average romance novel, One True Loves needs to be your next book. 

TRJ might be my new fav author in this genre. She is able to write characters so deeply, clearly, and beautifully. You FEEL what they feel. You can almost anticipate their next move because of the reader-character connection you’ve built up.

I was completely caught up in these stories. Emma and her new found love with Sam after losing her husband. The grieving was so hard to read. My heart was so broken for her. But then Jesse coming back, and the love they shared and the desire to pick it back up where they left off all those years ago. You want to everyone to be happy but you know someone will be heartbroken in the end. 

**Moderate language and a few sex scenes without graphic text.
