The Romeo Family Romance series continues with Zoe Romeo Stevens, Noah’s older sister.
Zoe, wife and mother of two, has her life all planned out, right down to the decadent chocolate mousse cake she’s making for dinner. Sure, marriage to her husband Carl has its ups and downs, but Zoe’s determined to make it work. Then, in a shocking turn of events, Zoe finds herself once again single with two … with two children.
Seeking solace for her wounded heart, Zoe goes home to her family’s ranch in Nashville, Tennessee. Trying to pick up the pieces of her life is tough. Even tougher—running into her old flame Briggs McAllister on a daily basis. As it turns out, Briggs is even more of a heartthrob now than he was back in the old days. Does he really think he can bat those baby blues, flash his crooked grin and that she’ll come running back into his very capable, very strong arms? Fat chance of that ever happening!
The harder Zoe tries to stay away from Briggs, the closer the two become. But Zoe’s past has no intention of laying low. Trouble is coming on like a freight train, threatening to sweep Zoe and Briggs off the rails. Plenty of twists and turns in his fast-paced romance about family ties and the yearnings the heart wants most.

This story is OK but not a favorite in the series. Maybe it would have been better if I had read them in order. I am glad there is an HEA for Zoe & Briggs & Carl doesn’t get her back.
It is hard to see a marriage end, but it ends well for Zoe and her first love Briggs, as her ex-husband was a rebound from Briggs and her breakup. Struggling with the aftermath of divorce and trust issues with Briggs since she still doesn’t know the reason for the breakup. Briggs is in full pursuit, as he is been kicking himself since the breakup, for a second chance and Zoe’s family are helping in any way they can. Will she find out the secret of the breakup? Will the ex-husband interfere?
This is a beautifully written second chance romance, the continuity of the series is good, and characters are wonderful. I look forward to Cash’s story. I highly recommend this book and the series.
I haven’t read the first book in this series and I never felt lost, so it can stand alone, but let me just say–I’m in love with this family!
I love how the book starts with Zoe’s marriage, showing what a Stepford wife she’s become, and then progresses to her second start back in her hometown. The real Zoe is down there somewhere and it was a treat watching her emerge. I also loved how the situation with her children was realistic and raw, drawing out more of her personality. As for Briggs? Oh, yeah. The chemistry pretty much flew off the pages, but was totally believable, even after all this time.
Youngblood did a fantastic job of creating an emotional romance with a lovable cast of characters. Reading this was as rewarding as a vat of silky, rich, decadent chocolate, as I savored every moment and finished with a craving for more.
Content: mild romance (kissing, talk of infidelity); mild religion

Well written story of the effects of infidelity and divorce. This story follows Zoe as she returns home with her two children and confronting her first love, Briggs. Their story is not an easy one but when you have a second chance sometimes there is only one way home. I received a complimentary copy and I am voluntarily reviewing.
