Once they were best friends. Now they’re from two different worlds. Zoe Bellini’s world exploded the second she kissed her best friend…and not in a good way. Every teen dream came crashing down when Padric was whisked away from Alaska, and her luck hasn’t improved in the last fifteen years. In fact, the pizza shop owner’s terrible track record with men has become a local legend. She doesn’t … legend. She doesn’t expect it to change when Padric—now a world-famous rock star—sails back into town. It’s not like they can just pick up where they left off…but her traitorous body sure wants to try.
Padric Jeffers never expected to return to his hometown of Lost Harbor, Alaska—not after the scandal that sent his family fleeing. But a mysterious letter with a warning about his childhood friend Zoe? That has him postponing his tour and hopping on the next flight north. Zoe’s been on his mind and in his lyrics since he left her behind, and once he sets eyes on the stunning grown-up version of his best friend, his mission is clear: do whatever it takes to have her—and keep her—this time around.
Easier said than done, since not everyone in town is excited about Padric’s return. And someone will do anything it takes to get rid of him. Can a pizza maker and a rock star overcome their history—not to mention scandals, angsty fans and unexpected danger—and find their way back to love?
A standalone novel in the Lost Harbor, Alaska series.

Yours Since Yesterday blends romance with a touch of mystery and suspense. You will be enthralled with Padric and Zoe’s story until the very end not only because you will wonder if their love really has a chance of surviving, but also if they themselves make it through reconnecting unscathed.
There is little doubt throughout the story that Padric and Zoe get along as friends. Their friendship status is what has held strong throughout the years they were apart, but a relationship beyond friendship doesn’t blossom without compromise. This is where both Padric and Zoe find trouble in their newly found path.
While Padric is an international rock star, with tour schedules, an entourage, fans, etc… Zoe is the local pizza star bringing joy by filling any and everyone’s stomach with fantastic pizza. Her business is so busy she hardly has time to rest, that doesn’t exactly allow time to follow a rock star around on his tour.
This is just one of the problems between this amazing, but headstrong couple. The biggest one of all isn’t even their burden to bear, it just belongs to their surnames. A scandal created by their parents that people still whisper about years later.
So as much as they try to get over each hurdle in their past and just go for living in the present they both worry that they will not have a future beyond Padric’s visit to Lost Harbor.
Yours Since Yesterday is a lovely read filled with the perfect mix of romance, steamy chemistry, and suspense.
If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to get a second shot at a first-chance love then this is the book for you. They were thirteen when they shared their first kiss. Immediately following that kiss their worlds imploded and the two best friends were torn apart. Padric’s family left Lost Harbor and Zoe never heard from him again. That is, until two meddling teenagers reach out to the world-famous rock star and he returns to Lost Harbor. For Zoe.
I already adore this series, set in a small coastal town in Alaska, but Padric and Zoe’s story is the multi-platinum book of the series! Zoe and Padric are both swoon worthy and absolutely perfect. Yes, they each have flaws, but they’re so beautifully written it only serves to endear them even more to the reader, and in no time at all they had both stolen my heart. Oh, who am I kidding? They had me at that first kiss!
Then, add in Padric’s phenomenal lyrics and all of the challenges they have to overcome for their relationship to make it, not to mention the emotional ebb and flow that battered me and then left me euphoric, and gah! I’m just done. This book ruined me in the most delicious, delightful, heartfelt ways and left me dying for more! I can’t wait to read the next book in the series and spend more time in my favorite Alaskan town. I want to check in with Zoe’s mom and see what trouble her twin sisters are up to, but most importantly, I’m giddy to see what’s in store for Nate, our next hero!
You know it’s going to be good book when you instantly fall for the characters and how their personalities just pop off the page. Zoe and Padric have this awesome connection throughout their life, of course, up until Padric’s family suddenly moves away at the age of fifteen. They are fun, witty and have a rapport that is undeniable. But, they get a second chance thanks to Zoe’s crazy twin teenage sisters that is real, honest and simply sweet…with heat until priorities get mixed up and obligations are called upon.
Their story is one of heartbreak and redemption that just steals your breath away. I absolutely love this book and the rush of emotions that goes along with it. I highly recommend Zoe and Padric’s story as well as this series. Jennifer Bernard makes no mistakes!
