What
happens when the fairy tale ends before it even begins?
Three
years, two graduations, an engagement and a move to another state later, Emogen
and Ryan are more in love than ever. He’s the one man she never expected to
have and the only man she’s determined to keep. He’s her forever, and there’s
nothing she wouldn’t do for him.
Almost,
that is.
Ryan
announces that he’s accepted a job offer that requires yet another move. Angry
he didn’t discuss his decision with her first, Emogen refuses to pack up and
follow. She has a career, too, and she’s not ready to give it up.
Although
determined to make the long distance thing work, their lives and careers begin
to take a toll on the relationship, leaving them to wonder if they’re doing the
right thing.
Sometimes
love isn’t enough.
When
you lose the one thing you are certain of, will you fight to get it back? Or
will you let it go?
I rated Mine to Lose with FIVE LEAVES! I absolutely loved this book. T.K Rapp's writing has me invested in the characters from the very beginning.
Emogen
and Ryan met years ago in college. They fell madly in love with each
other. Now, Emogen has packed up her life and moved with Ryan for his
career. At the beginning of the story, we find out that Ryan has to make
another move for his career. Emogen has had enough and she is staying
put to keep her wonderful job at a event planning company. This is where
we find out what true love really is. Emogen and Ryan have to deal with
the tough issues that come with a long distance relationship. Add in a
good looking client that Emogen has to deal with on a daily basis and
you have a pretty interesting story.
Trey, as he likes to be called is Emogen's client. He is the owner
of his own company and is using Emogen's company to plan a dinner party.
With his charm and good looks, he tries to sweep Em off her feet, even
though he knows that she is a taken woman.
When I was about halfway through the book, I thought I had the
ending pegged. Being such a good author, Rapp kept me on my toes and
gave me a few surprises that I wasn't expecting. All in all, this book
is going down as one of my favorites. I connect so much with the main
character, that I feel like I am reading a story that could have been
mine. Go out and read this book! You won't be disappointed. :)
T.K. Rapp is a Texas girl born and
raised. She earned a B.A. in Journalism from Texas A&M and it was there
that she met the love of her life. He had a contract with the U.S. Navy that
would take them across both coasts, and ultimately land them back home in
Texas.
Upon finally settling in Texas, T.K.
worked as a graphic designer and photographer for the family business that her
mom started years earlier. She was able to infuse her creativity and passion,
into something she enjoyed, but something was still missing. There was a voice
in the back of her head that told her to write, so write, she did. And,
somewhere on an external hard drive, are several stories she started and never
finished.
Now at home, raising her two daughters,
T.K. has more time to do the things she loves, which includes photography and
writing. When she’s not doing one of those, she can be found with her family,
which keeps her busy. She enjoys watching her kids in their various sporting
activities (i.e. doing the soccer mom thing), having Sunday breakfast at her
parent’s house, singing out loud and out of key or dancing like a fool. She
loves raunchy humor, gossip blogs and a good book.
