This book had some ups and downs. The back story was the most interesting part, for sure. The "current" storyline is all too melodramatic and will-they-wont-they, she says yes then says no, wishy washy and ultimately frustrating. By the end, you can't tell whether he wants her romantically or just for his art, whether shes going to do it or not (and whether its for love or for personal gain) and after they drag it out to the bitter end you really don't care.
The secondary characters were far more colourful and interesting than Wyatt and Kelsey - her brother is the one I wanted to be reading about. He seems like a guy that can make a fucking decision.

Second Chance Romance. One Summer 12 years ago changed everything they feel in love then she broke his heart. Now shes back

I Enjoyed This Book so Much!! This Second chance romance went back and forth between the present and the Past! I Love it!! Wyatt and Kelsey are a couple who found their way back to each other and have to figure out of it is worth it to be together again!

Kelsey has always been told that everything you do for yourself will come with a punishment. Her Father has Scarred her. Twelve Years ago she met Wyatt and she wanted to let go of her fears her father instilled in her! Wyatt was different and soon she was falling in Love With him too. Then something bad Happened she left and hadn't talked to him since. Then she Walks into his studio and the Love of her life is back! She never forgot Wyatt but she still can't get over what happened last time they were together.

The more time they spend together the more they realize that they still love each other. They just have to get over the past.

This book was so good!! It was Slow burning romance! With Dual Point of Views and Past and Present time lines. It was so great! I Loved Wyatt and Kelsey and I Can't wait to read books Two and Three in this series!

Omg! This was the book I didn't even know I was waiting for! While Wyatt has been a secondary, or even tertiary, character so far I loved reading about his story and childhood. While this seems to be strictly a standalone, I hope we get more info on these two in the future. So many questions! What happened with Griffin? Are him and Nia ever going to be a thing? What happened when Kelsey's dad found out??? I neeeeeeed answers lol!

I absolutely loved the premise of this book. It had an intriguing plot that was very unique. I loved the flash backs from present to past as well. I haven't read a book by this author in a while but I'm glad I read this one!

The story is a long bit of back and forth. Does not carry through and it moves slow.

My obsession with all things Julie Kenner is real, people. Five starts.


Full review to be featured on blog.

A poignant story about finding your own courage despite with others might think.

Wyatt is struggling to find the last girl for his show, and he's down to the wire. So when an ex walks in it's not what he expected today of all days and certainly not a pleasant surprise.

Kelsey is short on time for coming up with a lot of money by the end of the month. When her roommate and model friend, Nia, tells her about this possible lingerie modeling job Kelsey hesitates because she knows doing bad things, things her father wouldn't approve of only leads to catastrophic consequences. She has found out the hard way. But the last person she expects to see today is the guy who caused her to throw caution to the wind twelve years ago and caused the irreparably damage to her life and family.

In this book we learn more about Wyatt and why he refuses to use the Segal name. What made him who he is today and we get a look at what he sees as a future. We also get to see who he wants that future with.

Kelsey is new to us but I'm betting there are a bunch of people who can identify with her. I love her brother and hope his is the next story.

I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book was enjoyable but the ending was a bit rushed.

The first book in J. Kenner's Wicked series is wicked, wild and wonderful.
