Absolutely loved the story. The connection Karigan Hale portrays between Brendan and Essix is the kinda of Love every women would want. I love that they had a past and that they are doing what they can to make up for it. In my opinion this is a must read if you like a great romance. Definitely worth it for me.
Completely loved it! Six and Shane completely cracked me up! Six’s and Brendan’s sexual chemistry is off the charts! Didn’t want to put it down
This second chance romance will have you cheering for the characters from the very beginning.

This was a fun, steamy, romantic, second chance love story between Essix, known as Six and Brendan. I enjoyed watching them overcome their pasts and their fears to make a future together. The scenes with Six and her boss were funny and it was fun to read all the drama revolving around the office. It was also interesting to learn why Brendan had broken up with Six a year ago and basically ghosted her. My favorite part was the romantic epilogue. I received an advance copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.
Essix (Six) and Brandan had been a couple until family caused him to ghost her. Now a year later, her best friends Nora and Andrew are getting married and the engagement party after party is being held at McConnell’s Bar. This is the bar that Brandan owns. Brandan tries to talk to Six but she is not having it. She is still hurt over what happened between them. The feelings are still them for both of them but until Brandan can explain to Six things can’t move forward for them. Brandan is not the type of person to ask for help from others. His brother, Dylan is now causing problems for him. Dylan has come to Brandan and tells him that he is in trouble with a drug dealer and needs money in which Brandan doesn’t have. Lizzy, his assistant manager knows about Dylan and she tells Brandan that if he needs money she can help him with it. Things for Six and Brandan were going fine until he said some things to her about her life and she said that it was nice to find out how he felt about her as she walked out his door. As soon as Brandan said what he did, he knew he messed up. He starts calling, texting, and leaving messages on Six’s social media and she doesn’t answer any of them.
Can Brandan ever get Six to talk to him so he can apologize to her?
Will Six answer anything from Brandan and if so will she forgive him?

This is a well written second chance romance with strong characters in Brendan and Essix. A year after they split , they’re reunited at his bar when she attends her best friend’s bridal shower. The sparks still there but can they make it this time? The author does a great job building the story and delivers a steamy romance. I enjoyed and would recommend this book.

The neighborhood bar needs a little boost even though everyone still floods the place on game days. Six used to be a regular but when you break the heart of the owner you need some space. But time heals and if the spark is still there maybe it is worth a second chance.
A steamy romance, but not so steamy you’ll skim over it. The tryst do come later in the book after Six and Brendan fall back into their old patterns. BUT the boat gets rocked when Six has a job offer that might mean relocation. What does a girl do?
Sweet character and relationship building.
This is my first time reading something by Ms. Hale. It is a second chance romance that will have you rooting for the characters right from the start. A very well-written book with a strong storyline that flowed smoothly. Brandon and Essix have a pretty complicated past and he considers her to be the one that got away. They are reunited again at a friend’s party and now have a second chance. Can Essix get past the previous hurt and give Brandon another chance? I was pulled into the story right from the start and was invested till the end. A very endearing and passionate story that I really enjoyed reading.
