Summary: An intelligent romance
Review: Nicholas Sparks is an expert at manipulating the reader's emotions and this book has its share of emotional ups and downs. The story concerns Miles Ryan, a deputy sheriff, whose beloved wife Missy has been killed by a hit-and-run driver. His life is consumed with grief and anger until he meets his son's teacher, Sarah Andrews. Miles begins to heal as his relationship with Sarah grows, but this is all disrupted when new evidence about Missy's murder is uncovered. The bonds of love and family fidelity are tested as disturbing new information is revealed. Sparks uses an interesting technique of interspersing short, stream-of-consciousness chapters by Missy's unknown murderer with the regular narrative, thus heightening suspense for the reader. This is another entertaining and engaging book by a good writer.

Summary: It was a real page turner!!!!!!!!!!
Review: The first time i came upon this book was when i was on Amazon.com looking for books to read. I read some of the reviews and the sounded good. So the next day i went to my school library and got the book. It was a real page turner. I like every minute of reading that book.I've read a Nicholas Sparks book before this one and i think he is such a wonderful and inspiring author. In this book Miles loses his wife when she takes a jog and is hit by a car. Now he had to take care of his son Jonah, who is sad and lost without his mother. I give alot of credit to this character in this book. I couldn't imagine losing someone and having to take care of a child and at the same time working full time as a sheriff. This is truly a love story , from losing someone then in a twist of fate finding another person and falling in love all over again.Though i thought that it was weird that it was Jonah's teacher. This was not a hard book to read, it was rather relaxing. Several people who i have talked to said that this book was great. I thought that this book really makes you think about life and how it could change in an instant. I also thought it teaches you not to take things for granted because before Miles's wife went on that jog they got into a fight and he regretted that. I would suggest this book to anyone, young or old. I would rate this a five star book.

Summary: Sparks is on Fire!
Review: This book is very rocky it starts off very emotional and then becomes happy but ends with a lot more emotion. Missy, Miles, and Jonah are a very happy and loving family until Missy goes out for a run got hit by an unknown car and died. The family was heavily devastated. But it doesn't take long for Miles to bounce back know that he has to know take care of his son and still keep his demanding job as a police officer. It's different for Jonah he just can't seem to bounce back and his grades fall. It seems like the best thing when Sarah Jonahs school teacher calls Miles in for a meeting. She becomes a big help to the family by tutoring Jonah in reading and eventually Miles falls in love with her and the family seems to be back to normal and everything seems to be going perfect despite Miles still going crazy trying to figure out the case of his wife's death. Not for long, something you won't believe happens linking Sarah to the case of Missy Ryan and solving the case for Miles.
This book is a beautiful love story of two people who you know are meant together, but has some rocky times that are unbelievable. This book is very eventful and full of surprises. I would defiantly recommend this book to anyone.
