Sometimes your first love deserves a second chance…
He was my first crush, my first kiss, my first everything.
But I’m not a lovesick teenager anymore, and I’d never let that cocky troublemaker break my heart again.
So when he shows up out of the blue asking me to have dinner with him “for old time’s sake,” I say I will. After all, it’s been twelve years, and I’m stronger and smarter than I was back then.
Except…he still does something to me. He’s got those eyes that make me weak, those hands that drive me wild, and a body I can’t resist—especially once I see the tattoos. It doesn’t take long for our trip down memory lane to go from sweet to sizzling.
We’re just as good together as we were back then—better, even—and I’m willing to give the only man I’ve ever loved another chance.
But he’s got to tell me the truth.
* * *
All I wanted was to see her again. Tell her I’m sorry. Make her smile.
Okay, that’s a lie. I wanted to do more than that—a lot more. But I know she’s better off without me, and I promised myself I’d behave.
Except I’ve never been much good at keeping promises…or my hands to myself when I’m around her.
I can make her laugh, I can make her cry, I can make her body surrender to mine in ways that neither of us could have imagined back then. I can—and I do—love her more than she’ll ever know.
But I can’t tell her the real reason why I’m here.
And I can’t stay.

This entire book makes me want to happy sigh. I didn’t realize Maren was getting a book when I read Only You. I just read, lol, but when I saw that this was the upbeat yoga instructor’s story I was thrilled. I love the way Maren sees life and goes after everything. She lives her life happy and carefree, I really admire her outlook. Now, the fact that she doesn’t eat pizza... I’m just not sure I trust her anymore! Really though... I just adored this character. She was so in-tuned to herself and her life. It’s something I really envy in a person, just that level of self-awareness.

Now Dallas... Dallas frustrated me and made my heart ache. I want to say so much about him but I don’t want to give anything away. I really appreciated the way he wanted to settle his past failings and try to make things right with people he’s wronged... again, a trait I envy. It was rather ironic that in trying to fix past mistakes he just kept compiling more mistakes on top of old ones. But I just loved his character, he had such a kind and caring heart but he was so wrapped up in self-pity and self-doubt that he couldn’t be free of the pain that he put himself through.

I could really relate to this story. I don’t want to go in how but with Dallas’s self pity feelings and the way he lashed out st the people who cared for him. I understood his family’s and Maren’s feelings a lot. My husband also had these same feelings in a similar situation. I also completely related to the helpless feeling’s that Maren went through with Dallas’s... problems. I obviously loved the storyline and Melanie Harlow’s writing is just as creative and thought-provoking as always. I was so happy to see updates with Nate and Emme and so HAPPY with how the update went! I’m incredibly excited to see we’ll get Stella’s story in November. I totally wanted a sneak peek into Stella’s book but there wasn’t one but you can bet your last dollar that I’ll be watching for the Buzz on Stella... see what I did there
 
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
