No, I hadnโ€™t heard that Ryan Prince was staying at the very resort I had just started working at.

If I had, maybe I would have called in sick.

On second thought, maybe I wouldnโ€™t have, because I really needed that paycheck. Being a single mother and having a lapse in child support had made me that desperate.

Still, I would have rather avoided the circus that rolled into Hawk Tail Resort and the man who sauntered in with it.

All these years later and he was still that same gorgeous football player I left behind in college.

Except now he wasnโ€™t gracing the gridiron unless it was for a movie role.

I assumed he wouldnโ€™t even recognize me, not with the actress on his arm and the crowd pressing in around him.

Ryan Prince didnโ€™t just recognize me; the angry tilt of those lips on that too perfect face told me he remembered exactly what I did when I left.

I thought maybe this was a gift, a way to put the past to restโ€ฆbut the look on his face told me he had plans to dig up everything that was unfinished between us.

The summer was about to end, but it felt like my penance for the last decade was about to begin.


Caroline's Review
๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ๐ŸŒŸ


This was such a fabulous, angsty, hot read!

โ€I wanted to be his everything. I wanted to be his chocolate ice cream, the one thing he wanted more than anything else.โ€

All her life, Bexley Black has always wanted to be somebodyโ€™s first choice. When the love of her life made a misstep and didnโ€™t do that when she was twenty, she ran away from him. She not only broke his heart, she also broke her own. Ten years later, sheโ€™s a single mother with two young kids when her path crosses with his, again. Itโ€™s obvious he holds a grudge and wants to make her as miserable as he was. However, thereโ€™s no denying the feelings that still burn hot between them.

โ€Ten f*cking years away from this and my heart still slammed in uneven beats with desperation. I want her.โ€

Ryan Prince got over Bexley by getting under lots and lots of other women. He buried his hurt and moved on with his life and now heโ€™s a Hollywood heartthrob with a playboy reputation. When he sees Bexley again, he realises that heโ€™s been fooling himself for ten years. When he meets her childrenโ€ฆthat she had with another manโ€ฆheโ€™s a goner. No matter how hard he tries to keep his distance, he is inexorably drawn to her. But, at what cost?

โ€We were trying to tear each apart, and whatever was left in the end would be the remnants weโ€™d use to move forward.โ€

God, I loved this story! Bexley and Ryan had so much baggage sitting slap-bang in between them. Their lives were in such different places but all they ever really wanted was each other. As twenty-year-olds, I think neither of them dealt with their situation very well. My heart hurt that they had wasted ten years without each other, but I think they both needed to grow and mature. Plus, Bex wouldnโ€™t have had those adorable kids. Their journey to their HEA was wrought with distrust, misconstrued conclusions and judgements, and stubbornness instead of communicating properly and transparently. At times, I felt gutted for them both, as they stumbled along their journey. On an intimate level, they had no issue whatsoever. They were pretty freakinโ€™ hot together! *fans self* I also adored Ryanโ€™s sweetness and adoration of Bexโ€™s kids, Cole and Bella. He was just so natural and fun with them. I struggled to put this book down and thought the ending was wonderful! Thoroughly recommend!
