From the opening paragraph you are hooked on "The Two of Us", just as Mia is hooked on and fascinated with the good looking cowboy operating the claw machine retrieving stuff animals. Both Mia Robinson and Jake Tanner have been burnt in love and have decided their future involves the plans they have set for themselves.
Mia wants to travel and work with an international aid organization as a Doctor and Jake wants to start a camp for sons of fallen officers. Jake suffers from partial deafness requiring the use of a service dog having been injured on the job as a police officer, his partner being killed, leaving her son motherless. Jake took the boy under his wing and continues to mentor him.
Mia and Jake briefly meet in the restaurant they both have sought morning coffee in while they wait for a later event that day. They are surprised to meet again to attend and be in a wedding of Mia's pregnant sister and Jake's young prodigy.
Mia thinks her sister, Lucy, is making a mistake but Jake supports Sam knowing he is normally, a responsible young man and truly loves Lucy. From there the plot builds with many twists and turns.
"The Two of Us" is one of the best stories covering several complicated life issues such as teen pregnancy and young love, disabilities, alzheimer's disease. I highly recommend this for your keeper shelf. I received this book from Bethany House for an honest review.
