Jillian Castillo has never quite recovered from her brief relationship with Jackson Lovett, and when her heavily pregnant sister calls for her help she drops everything to look after her sister and her nephew.

Jackson is falling down the tunnel of a workaholic and it is started to affect his daily life. The project that was meant to make his company is starting to pull him down.

Jillian is the Maid of Honour for her friend where Jackson is the best man to the groom his friend and former partner David. Jackson wants to do something special for the Bride and Groom and needs the Maid of Honours help to achieve it.

Can Jillian and Jackson work together to arrange this special surprise and can they ignore the simmering chemistry in the background.

This was a great story, I liked the fact that the problems didn’t just disappear in puff of smoke and also that they didn’t just forget all their previous problems and jump into a relationship.
The characters are engaging and you really feel like you are there in the room with him. I read this book in 24 hours so definitely a book I would have no problem in recommending.

Thank you to Netgalley for providing me with a copy of this book in return for an honest review.

I received an arc from NetGalley and this is my honest opinion.
Jillian and Jackson’s story is one you do not want to miss. Jillian halts the breaks on their relationship and Jackson has no idea what he did wrong.
After a break it seems their connection starts again when they are to be the best man and maid of honor for David and Alyson. As they start to assist with wedding planning they grow closer again but another person expects to start something with Jillian.
Soon things start to shake up and the accident happens. Can Jillian and Jackson work through These bumps in their relationship?
I have to say there were tears, laughter and heartache in this book. It will pull at your heart strings.4.5 atars

This is a new author for me and its book 2 in a series but it easily stands alone. Its a great second chance at romace story.

This is Jack and Jills romance. She dumped him because he works A LOT. He has no idea why she dumped him. When he starts planning a engagement party for their best friends they start spending time together and when Jack needs help Jill is there for him.

This was a well written romance with depths to its characters and also had an awesome story. It is not a light read either. Several tough subjects are discusse.
