Publisher's summary

Breaking news: Hollywood’s biggest heartthrob, Ryan Prince, was caught vacationing in his hometown. But who’s the mystery girl?

No, I hadn’t heard that Ryan Prince was staying at the very resort I had just started working at.

If I had, maybe I would have called in sick.

On second thought, maybe I wouldn’t have, because I really needed that paycheck. Being a single mother and having a lapse in child support had made me that desperate.

Still, I would have rather avoided the circus that rolled into Hawk Tail Resort and the man who sauntered in with it.

All these years later and he was still that same gorgeous football player I left behind in college.

Except now he wasn’t gracing the gridiron unless it was for a movie role.

I assumed he wouldn’t even recognize me, not with the actress on his arm and the crowd pressing in around him.

Ryan Prince didn’t just recognize me; the angry tilt of those lips on that too perfect face told me he remembered exactly what I did when I left.

I thought maybe this was a gift, a way to put the past to rest…but the look on his face told me he had plans to dig up everything that was unfinished between us.

The summer was about to end, but it felt like my penance for the last decade was about to begin.

This is a stand-alone romance novel with no cheating.

It was a cute story

I enjoyed this book! The story was cute and had its steamy, funny, serious and frustrating parts but it was good!

Absolutely Epic

Trope Vibe / Story - Second Chance College lovers reunited. Both stressed and a bit broken.

Style - amazingly written with clever insights and nuances that make the story real and has all the feels. The story uses the MC's inner dialogue(s) to help us understand (especially) where the other party might be clueless to an event or situation and makes the narrative feel more realistic. It felt true to life that I enjoyed. I was really impressed the way it avoided the stilted constructs used by other authors to create a plot , This felt far more natural.

Angst / Conflict level - I always felt the underlying tension that went with the back-story. It was 200% perfect. It was sometimes tense but had real internal conflicts that often came out but it was true to the characters and supported both parties insecurities and back-stories.

Definitely has an edge but not overly angsty

Spice/Heat -3.5

Audience - adult.

After-taste - how did I feel after ? MIND BLOWN - it was freaking EPIC ! I purchased two more of her books immediately.

Decent

New to me author. Decent story, although there was a bit too much drama just for the sake of drama. Story could have been condensed. Good narration does enhance the read. I personally did not enjoy it enough to recommend.
