Even perfect couples face storms.
The question is whether our love is strong enough to
survive.
I believe it is.
If I leave, I take her with me.

ONE TO TAKE

“Can we go somewhere else?” Our faces are so close, and
Stuart's smoky hazel eyes brim with… something. “Away from the noise?”
I’m afraid to be alone with him. I don’t know if I’m strong
enough yet. I’m pretty sure I’ll never be strong enough to tell him to go to
hell. I don’t even know if that’s what I want to say. Still, with all we’ve
been through and all I’ve learned, I can’t be the person I was before.
“I don’t know,” I answer truthfully. “I’m not sure if I’m
ready.”
He glances down, and my eyes run all over his face. His hair
is longer than he usually wears it. It ends in shaggy curls around his ears.
His face is lined and tired, and his body is lean again, like it was when we
were first together when he was fighting the drugs.
The stairs in the back lead down to the beach.” I point in
the direction of the DJ booth. “We can walk along the shore if you want.”
“Can I help you with those?”
Shaking my head, I walk straight to the water. It’s breaking
in small waves tonight, sending little ripples of briny sand between my toes.“
So you’re here with Pete?” I can’t tell if that’s jealousy
in his voice, but I decide not to notice.
“He’s easy.” My voice is quiet. “Safe.”
“What do you want, Stuart?”
“The same thing I’ve always wanted. You.” Another wave of
emotion crashes in my chest. “No.” Shaking my head, I turn to the side. “I
can’t hear that from you. You left me when I needed you. I reached for you, and
you weren’t there.”
I push him away. “You blamed me. You went away because you
were angry with me for what happened. Be honest. You went away to hurt me.”
His chin drops, and I watch the line of his jaw move. “I was
angry.”
“I knew it!” I shout, turning to walk away, but he grabs my
arm, stopping me.
“But not at you.” The pain in his eyes expands, and I see my
torment reflected there. “I was angry with myself. I didn’t protect you when
you needed me, and I couldn’t forgive myself for letting you be hurt. I love
you, Mariska. You’re my gypsy. You’re my wife.”
I shake my head, pulling away. “I’m not your wife. I’m not
your anything. I never was.”
He looks down, and I watch as he runs a hand over his
stomach. “To me you’re everything.”

4 Stars
While this can be read as a standalone I do highly recommend going back and starting the series from the beginning.
Stuart and Mariska have had their share of trouble, they should have had their happily ever after right? Unfortunately they've still got some trials and tribulations before they get their HEA.
Stuart is an alpha male, asking for help isn't something he enjoys doing but will if it is truly necessary. He is inside his head a lot and has a hard time expressing himself, but he is caring when it comes to those he is closest to.
Mariska is our gypsy girl. She has a way of seeing life that is different from most, she follows her instincts and it has led her to her true love.
Just when things are looking up for them and they are getting their life together figured out a bomb is dropped that tests the waters of everything they've accomplished together so far.
The emotions of the story range from great heights to truly sad lows, and you feel each and every one of them. You also have more heat than ever between these two and a fan is necessary to keep cooled off! ;-)
I enjoyed seeing more of the characters we've come to love throughout the series and as always you feel like you are right there within it as things unfold. Another great read from Tia Louise.
