BLURB
“Addictive like all Kylie Scott books, you’ll swoon, laugh, ache, put your life on hold, and compulsively read until the wee hours of the night—only to reread the whole thing the next morning. Perfection!” – Katy Evans, New York Times bestselling author
Returning home for her father’s wedding was never going to be easy for Adele. If being sent away at eighteen hadn’t been bad enough, the mess she left behind when she made a pass at her dad’s business partner sure was.
Fifteen years older than her, Pete had been her crush for as long as she could remember. But she’d misread the situation—confusing friendliness for undying love. Awkward. Add her father to the misunderstanding, and Pete was left with a broken nose and a business on the edge of ruin. The man had to be just as glad as everyone else when she left town.
Seven years later, things are different. Adele is no longer a kid, but a fully grown adult more than capable of getting through the wedding and being polite. But all it takes is seeing him again to bring back those old feelings.
Sometimes first loves are the truest.
THOUGHTS
Why do I always read Kylie’s books so fast!! DAMNIT now I have to wait forever for the next one!!
You could feel the longing and heat coming off the pages! This was the perfect execution of not only a friends to lovers romance but also the older man/younger woman scenario.
The brief glimpses into the past showed the growth of their the friendship. The glimpses also show how the ‘incident’ actually works to form the people they become during their 7 year split.
I loved the supporting characters in this story as well! Adele’s dad and his fiancee at times stole the show – in the best way possible! And finally the HEA in this story is epic! I LOVE a man who goes after what he wants!!
“If you keep staring at my mouth like that this is going to be a very short date…”… “Right. Sorry.”
5 stars all the way!!
