My Rating: ♥♥♥♥♥
Catherine Boyd will do anything to regain custody of her young son… Even reconcile with the husband accused of killing their son’s twin.
Catherine graduates from college, eager to start a new life with her six-year-old son, Drew. But when she tries to bring him home, her parents refuse to relinquish control of the grandson they’d raised.
Wrongly accused of a horrible crime, Thomas Boyd has buried himself in his career, determined to forget his painful past and the family he lost.
But now, five years later, Catherine is back, requesting his help to regain custody of their son — custody he thought she had.
Though older and wiser, when courtroom battles reveal lies and secrets and generations of pain, will Thomas and Catherine find more tragedy and loss, or will old wounds finally heal?
My Thoughts
Okay, I've been meaning to read this book in a long time- but for some darn reason I keep putting it off.
Now I feel kinda stupid, because this book is a pretty amazing!
I have so many emotions running through me NOW.. He Belongs to Me is a powerful novel that spoke to me on so many different levels. I was mad, frustrated, cried... then laugh.. aroused and cried again... lol. I tried putting the book down as I needed sleep, but every time I closed my eyes- all I can think of is Catherine and Thomas. Gave up and just finished the darn book around 4 am!
Catherine and Thomas made a lot of mistakes when they were young. At first I hated Catherine for being stupid and I couldn't believe she just gave up on her son. (who does that?!) and Thomas.. grr.. for a person who loved his family I was pissed that he gave up easily on them. Why did he just walked away?! I don't want to give anymore spoilers but their situation was so complicated to the point that I was questioning myself on how will they fix the mess they made... Then I felt sorry for the tragedies, mistakes, hurt and was rooting for their son, family and love.
I honestly didn't have any high expectation on this book, but damn.. I was surprised as how the book just captivate me from the beginning until the end. I love when a book can make me feel the emotions, not just register them but ACTUALLY feel them too.
He Belongs to Me is emotional journey. This is not just about second chance love but also that people make mistakes.. maybe some mistakes can't be fix but no one is perfect and the key is to learned from it.
This is a must read book!! Thank you Ms. Theresa Rizzo for writing this great story and I will remember this for a very long time.
I received this book from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.
