** I received an ARC for an honest review.**
What a sweet and swoon worthy second chance romance. I loved Lawson and Emelyn and their ability to forget and forgive the past and move forward to a new future. This book has everything that makes a great quick romance. There is sadness, there is love, there is super sexiness, there is tension and there is heartfelt forgiveness. I loved this book right from the beginning and I just did not want to put it down.
This book starts off with Emelyn waking up from a nightmare that will change the course of the next four years. Her life is no longer on the course she thought it would be and everything changes. There are flashbacks with glimpses into how everything started and it helps connect with both Lawson and Emelyn. We get to meet them as children and we get to see the sparks fly even at such an early age. We get to see them for a little bit in their teenage youth and their teenage college youth. We get to know them as young adults and then eventually as adults. They both change so much over the course of this book especially after they reconnect.
I really enjoyed the pace and the tone of this book. I liked that even though they all went through something so tragic that they all were able to grow and move on with their lives. I hate that things were lost between Lawson and Emelyn, but I think it all played out the way it should for these two people to be able to be who they are. I really enjoy this authors writing style and I really liked this book. It was just so nice and refreshing to read a sweet and relatively drama free book. Don't get me wrong there is drama, but there isn't unnecessary drama in order for these characters to find themselves both separately and together.
I am a hot mess. I am a smoldering, frustrated mess, because just his damn eyes are setting my body on fire. I swear I can feel his eyes on me as if they're caressing my body as they slide up and down my stumbling, blushing, hot mess self as he takes me in.
It’s been way too long since I’ve had a good and proper fuck.
Yes, I’m supposed to be a sweet southern belle, but it’s totally possible to be sweet and slightly naughty all at the same time.
I love sex…especially Lawson sex. No one has come even close to doing to my body what this man has done to me probably a million times before we broke up.
“Woah.” Wrapping his arms around me, he holds me against him, stopping me from falling flat on my face and completely embarrassing myself.
“Oh my gosh, I’m sorry.” I can only imagine how red my cheeks are right now. My hands are flush against his chest and I find myself loving the feeling of his body beneath them. I inhale deeply and breathe him in.
God, he smells amazing.
Laughing, he holds me tighter, making it clear he isn’t letting me go yet. He brings his mouth down to my ear and the feeling of his breath against my skin makes my body become blanketed in goose bumps. “No need to be sorry. I’ll gladly catch you anytime you fall.”
Ahh, hell.
My heart jumps in my damn chest as I imagine a little mini sledgehammer smashing away a tiny piece of the wall that’s been guarding my heart for the last four years.
