Allie Ross’s life is not going according to plan.

Her law career crashed before it started.

Her parents landed in prison for running a Ponzi scheme.

And she just inherited her grandmother’s quirky B&B—

complete with a crew of extra-toed cats.

Her love life? Don’t ask.

Then Jack Carpenter shows up.

The ex she never got over.

The guy she once loved—and hated—in college.

He’s older, steadier, and still sinfully sexy.

Jack’s a single dad now, and determined to prove he’s not the deadbeat he once was.

And Allie’s not the golden girl he remembers.

But the spark between them? Still very much alive.

As they reconnect, old feelings resurface.

So do old secrets—along with some new ones that could wreck them both.

Can Allie and Jack stop history from repeating itself?

Or are they doomed to crash and burn all over again?

I loved this second chance, single dad, opposites attract, healing romance. It included sweet moments, spice, laughs, and big ol’ messy families and painful pasts. Throughout the story, Allie and Jack are portrayed as real, relatable people who have flaws and scars, but are really just trying to do their best as messy beings. Messy humans who continue to make poor choices and struggle with negative self-talk because they’re following life long coping patterns. But then there is healing and love.

Heartache and humor go hand in hand.”
