Wow! Summer Cooper has done it again. Another wonderful erotic romance by a top notch romance author. I really enjoy Summer’s books. They are always a fun and exciting read with real issues blended in to give it that ideal, but very believable story line. This book is no different.
In this story Dana is a divorcee single mother. Her rich husband left her high and dry for a younger model. Now struggling to survive and having to work after years of no job experience, things are tough and some days she doesn’t know which way is up.
Then one day she runs into her old college best friend Carter and it brings up old memories and secrets that have been buried a long time, or so she thought. When the relationship between Carter and Dana turns into something more, her ex-husband takes his jealousy out on Dana. Will Dana be able to let go of the only man who has brought her so much joy and happiness to save her daughter?
This book was an very intense and exciting read. It had tons of drama and betrayal. Let us not forget the hot and steamy scenes between Carter and Dana. hmmm I think I have been a naughty school girl and need to go to the principle’s office. 😉
The characters in this book were developed and had depth to their personality. Carter is a sweet and all out good guy. Dana is a wonderful person, even though she doesn’t know how to handle her feelings and have a real relationship. She doesn’t know how to be happy and her self esteem is very low. Her daughter Meredith is cute as a button and smart as a whip. She will have you cracking up with her whit.
I loved this story and hope that Summer writes another book about Piper. I am interested to find out more about Dana’s crazy best friend Piper. Her character is very interesting and exciting. I bet she has some adventures in her.
Overall this book is an excellent read that will have you turning the pages nonstop till the end. You will enjoy this book, as well as any other of Summer’s reads. She is an excellent romance author, that you will sure to love if you give her a chance. So pick this book up today and enjoy.
I truly enjoyed reading this is a fascinating, intriguing second chance romance.

To love and have lost… Poor Carter. I loved his character so much and I was so glad to see how the story ended. Meredith was hilarious and I enjoyed reading all her little antics. Becca was a surprise as well. I liked that Dana was willing to befriend her even under the circumstances! Dana was a mess but I thought she had a lot of personal growth by the end. The cover doesn’t match what we know about Carter and that always makes me take a step back.
I was gifted an ARC in return of an honest review.
