COMING: December 14th
Their young love ignited rapidly but diminished just as fast. A heart wrenching second chance romance that will make you believe that everything happens for a reason.
A mistake that Gabriel Gavinwood thought he took care of comes knocking him on his ass 18 years later. The way he's looking at it now though doesn't seem to be a mistake...it seems like a blessing, like the raft that could pull him out of the deep waters that have been dragging him down.
Charlotte Daniels was hit with a dose of reality at 18 and has had to be a strong, independent woman ever since. When life throws her a curve ball and she runs into the boy who destroyed her, literally, will she now give into the man and the passion that once consumed them?
Can they move on from their toxic past and build a future together? Are they right when they say time heals all wounds?
"Don't deny the chemistry Charlotte you feel it".
He smiles against my neck and kisses it.
I don't know how long we stand there or when he walks back into the main hall but when I open my eyes he is gone. My panties are wet and I am royally screwed.
REVIEW
A big thank you to Nicole for my ARC.
This is a second chance romance. (Some of my favorites) also this is a 'new to me' author & book. I am all for sports romance too. Not sure where to begin without wanting to spoiler alert the entire book before it even comes out! There is something said about a young romance. This one is written tastefully, you really feel the young and crazy love.
Charlotte & Gabriel started their love off young, crazy for one another. Dreams to be fulfilled, not looking much ahead but just what's right there for grabs. When Charlotte learns the kind of boy Gabriel is, she is left with only one choice. Being just a girl herself, she didn't know what she was doing herself, all she knew was that the right choice needed to be made. Gabe already altered their universe already anyways.
You forward all that to EIGHTEEN years! When she see's her first and only love again, nothing changed...her body still betrayed her even if her mind was trying to pick the logical way. Rekindling their love won't be that easy, there is many years and many memories between them,
Life throws them both a Curveball!
This is a shorter story, about 205 pages, so the read was quick for me, but very much enjoyable. I liked the story line, not traditional. A lot of emotion from both ends. Some action and the suspense, hehe was killing me at the end, i needed to know right then. I do kind of wish she made his gravel a bit more, but in their circumstances and the length of the story, i understand why it is the way it is. Gabriel is a strong, tall and sexy baseball hero and Charlotte is a sassy, spunky, know what she wants heroine. There is quiet the group of people and banter in there also, really fun to go back and forth.
I am looking forward to more and hopes of a Book #2!
I am rating this book a 5 star because of multiple reasons, one being that it' the genre i like to read, the author is new to me and it's a second chance sports romance.
