"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.
REVIEW
I did enjoy this book, its just that I didn’t fully like Peter. He’s 40
years old but was immature at times. I was just expecting him to be
stronger in a sense. Yes, I understand there’s a 15 year difference
between him and Adele and that she’s the daughter of his best friend and
business partner, but still. I felt Adele fought so hard and was so
determined to make things work, but he was just so scared and never
truly fought for her. I don’t know, in the end I feel she loves him more
than he loves her.
One person I truly loved was Shanti, Adele’s stepmother. She is so smart and sophisticated. I want to be like her when I am older.
The writing was flawless as you can expect with Kylie Scott, so really no complaints there. It hooked me from the start.
Overall this was an entertaining contemporary romance, I just didn’t love it.
