I absolutely loved “Go Around” by E.J. Noyes. It’s a second chance romance along with a thriller/suspense plot line. Avery Weston is a Federal Air Marshal and she’s finally starting to get over her famous ex-girlfriend, Elise Hayes. She’s shocked when on a return flight to LA her seatmate is none other than Elise.
Second chance romance is probably my favorite trope so as soon as I saw that in the blurb, I was hooked. I love how Noyes writes and I was interested to see how she would tackle the trope as everyone seems to do it a bit differently. She doesn’t bog you down with flashbacks but she’s still able to get everything important from the initial romance and breakup included into the narrative.
This is one of the few times where I absolutely liked both characters. They were both so different from each other but you could understand what drew the other one in. Even with the stalker storyline, I felt like this was more character driven and that’s why I was so into this. There are a lot of discussions and arguments between the two as they try to come to grips with their past and try and move on, whether together or separately.
Some people might consider this to be high angst but it was like catnip to me. Avery and Elise have scorching chemistry and there’s a lot of push/pull between them because the reason for the breakup is still there, but their love for one another is still going strong.
The stalker storyline was also gripping. He’s an unhinged fan and with the way it’s written it felt very realistic and scary. It doesn’t take up a whole lot of page time as it’s more in the background for a good portion of the book; but what is there is a page turner.
Highly recommend for fans of second chance and/or celebrity romances.
