About this ebook

-- A USA TODAY Bestseller --


Before that night, Addison Milan had been just a college dropout secretly raising her two young siblings in a beat-up minivan she'd bought with her first semester's tuition refund--the only money her addict mother hadn't taken off with when she'd abandoned them nearly two years ago.


Before that night, Caine Spencer had been just a rough, gruff cop sent to check out the phoned-in claims of suspected child neglect involving the same woman he'd met just months prior when she'd first served him the city's worst diner coffee...which he'd been drinking daily ever since.


Before that night, Addison would never have thought the man she'd been fighting hard not to fall for--her only friend in her new shadow of a life--would be in a position to rip her family apart.


Before that night, Caine would never have believed any woman could make him fall head over heels, let alone make him feel so damn compelled to look the other way when it came to his job.


Then that one perfect night changed everything.


"Hot, sweet, and filled with tender moments, Violet Duke writes heroes who make me swoon!"-- New York Times bestselling author Kendall Ryan


BEFORE THAT NIGHT (Bk 1 of 2) chronicles the events that take place seven years prior to EVERY NIGHT WITHOUT YOU (Bk 2 of 2), which is the conclusion of Caine & Addison's story of love, sacrifice, and the lengths one will run--and chase--when their past threatens their future.


NOTE: Each of the four couples in the Unfinished Love series have TWO books (duets) that take place years apart. Each duet is a two-part second chance romance, meaning each couple is separated after their first book and reunited in the second book of their duet. As noted in the title, this is Book ONE of TWO; the second book in this duet reunites this couple seven years later, and concludes their story.


The UNFINISHED LOVE Series

Four brothers. Each fighting for their second first chance at love. Years be damned.

What a great beginning to a new series!!! Addison is raising her younger siblings on her own after their mom leaves and doing it in her van. When she gets a job at the local diner she meets Caine who's a cop. They're interested in each other but for different reasons are staying hands off. When Addison finds out she has a stalker who gives up her secrets will Caine stay by her side or do what his job says he should do? WOW! What a great story line with characters that you want more of. It's the start of their love story and the story could be that of anyone around you. This story does have a cliffhanger and OMG what a cliffhanger! I can't wait to find out what happens next! A definite must read for anyone who loves a great story!

Never have I read anything like Before That Night. There is no subterfuge the rawness of a life interrupted and the courageous actions of a woman at the brink of despair. Addison is a very meaty character. She leads this story like a mama bear protecting her cubs and faces unspeakable danger head on. Caine is her rock when her secrets and responsibilities become too much to bear. Caine is hardly a hero, he has his own demons to bear but for a while he becomes Addison's soft place to fall. Before That Night provides a glimpse at subjects like homelessness, alcoholism and obsession while delivering an organic story of love and hope. My one pet peeve is that I didn't get my happy ending.

NOOOOOOOOOO!!! I can't wait almost a month for the conclusion of this incredible story! Cruel Ms. Duke, very very cruel. What an incredible story of love, determination, and sacrifice this is. Addison is a young woman who has had responsibility thrust upon her at a very early age. Providing and caring for her younger siblings is the only thing she has time for in her life. And secrets. She must keep her secrets to keep them safe, so when the very handsome police officer Caine Spencer starts spending more and more time at the diner where Addison works she knows she has to be careful. The two quickly grow close though and when her secrets are revealed he promises her everything. But at what cost?? You don't want to miss this one! I highly recommend it.
