“Sometimes, the things
we’re afraid of, the things that scare us the most, are the things that give us
the biggest rush.”
Meagan Mitchell is turning 30 and it’s scaring the shit out
of her. She thought by this age she would be married with children and she
couldn’t be farther from it. So, she makes a decision. Done are the Mr. Wrongs,
the bad boys. She needs the safe ones. Moving across country with her best
friend seems to be a good start. However, she didn’t expect someone from her
past. She didn’t expect Reed Porter.
Reed Porter is instantly attracted to Meaghan the moment he
helps get her kitten out of a tree. She’s feisty, sarcastic but a little sweet
around the edges. And she’s refusing him at every turn. Challenge accepted. The
only problem: he doesn’t remember Meagan from the one night they shared
together eight years ago.
To say this book surprised me would be an understatement. The
first in this series was just okay and I honestly probably wouldn’t have
continued the series if I hadn’t received this book from the publisher, but I’m
so glad that I did. Meagan surprised me. She stuck to her guns, standing by
what she wants, and having fun playing with Reed. She knows she should stay
away, but something about him is just so damn charming. And charming he is.
Reed was just…so dang swoonworthy. He lives for the now, for the thrill. He
knows he’s not right for Meagan, that she deserves more, but he’s just having
too much fun.
Meagan was living in fear of the future while Reed was
living in fear of the past. Their chemistry was so electric it jumped off of the
page. I enjoyed reading every part of their relationship. I loved seeing how
they fell for each other because, sadly, in a lot of books that part gets lost
in favor of the drama. We got to see
Reed’s exterior melt away and Meagan embrace a future of not knowing. Set with
the armed forces as a background, these two just wormed their way into my heart.
There was a ton of laughter, some sadness, and a whole bunch of swooning. This
book was just what I needed right now and I loved every minute of it.
