Excellent book, interesting relationships with good ending.
Melinda left Pete at the altar,no real explanation, two broken hearts.
Fast forward,15 years later, they meet accidentally and all feelings are back. Will Pete find out why she left him ?
Will he let Melinda back in his life?
Melinda is not very open person. She had her reason but were they valid or she just couldn’t deal with them. She was very academically advanced but dealing with real life,not so much…not mature enough.
So ,yes I could understand that , but not understand why she still hold back good conversation with Pete.
It’s great real life story,maybe not so fast read,but one that lives mark on you.

This book is a second chance romance story it is intriguing and emotional. The characters are engaging. It is well written. I appreciate reading this book.
The premise was very intriguing for this book. I started reading this book with great expectation. Most of the story was interesting and the writing was very good. I enjoyed both the main characters and really liked his family. However, the reason she didn’t show up and left him was not a very strong reason, in my opinion. I felt a bit let down. I didn’t feel there was enough evidence over the course of the book to support her decision. It took a long time to even get to what happened to her family and I struggled to stay with the story. A great deal of detail was given to her father and only a line or two was given about the mother. Then the reason was given and I was lost. That’s why? I did enjoy the build up of their current relationship and the glimpses of the past of their love story. The ending was wonderful.
I enjoyed Pete and Melinda’s story! It’s a hot read with an interesting plot.
