Description

Five years ago, Julia Bell walked away from everything and everyone in her life the moment her high school diploma was in her hand. Determined not to make a mistake she’d regret the rest of her life, she decided leaving was easier. An emergency call from her younger sister brings Julia back to Benton Hill to face the people she left behind, including the man who had tried to claim her heart.

Ben Miller was always the nice guy, the best friend. The one time he tried to change that perception, he lost the girl and the future he worked so hard to achieve in quick succession. Now that girl, Julia Bell, is back in his life. Ben finds himself falling back that familiar role, even though his heart still wants more.

As Julia and Ben are thrown back together navigating a stressful event for the Bell family, echoes of the past remind them of what could have been, but also how much they have changed. Is what they once shared enough to build something more, or is it too late to rekindle the spark of this second chance romance?

This is a full-length, standalone new adult contemporary romance novel intended for readers 18+.

This is the first book I read by Ivy Sinclair and it makes me want to go out and read all of her previous books. She crafts a fantastic story with well developed characters. I can't wait for the next installment in this series.

ARC graciously provided by Netgalley in exchange for a honest review.

Five years ago Julia walked away from home and her family. Leaving behind a boyfriend and best friend in her wake. After being tricked by her little sister into coming home for the first time in five years she' relieved to find that her father is not in the hospital. But that relief is short lived when she finds out that her sister in knocked up to her high school boyfriend and what makes the cherry on the cake is that her sister tricked her in to coming home to be the maid of honor in the wedding! The wedding that is to take place in two days. That leaves Julia two days to talk her sister out of marrying Mike. It also leaves her two days into writing the wrongs that she did to her best friend Ben. Even if it means losing him all over again.

This book was amazing. I can't give it enough praise without giving away what happens in the book. I love Julia. She was such a strong female character. Ben also blew me away. He truly was the good guy and this book goes to show you that the good guy doesn't always finish last. It just might take a little while for the girl to realize what she has.

This book was witty and fun with a caste of characters that will suprise you and make you feel at home. The storyline is superb and the writing is excellent. After finishing this book I felt satisfied but also empty. I didn't want to let these guys go. I definitely look forward to what is up next for this wild cast of characters. Please let there be more books soon.
