 You know you really love someone when you can’t hate them for breaking your heart. Caroline Johnson has lived for years with the heartbreak of being told she wasn’t enough by her one true love. Having met her soulmate in middle school, she had her entire future planned out. When her first and only love abandons her, disappearing from her life without a trace, she stands a broken shell of her former self. Caroline has finally decided to move past the heartbreak of losing Andrew and has promised herself she would look for love again, her broken heart has found a purpose to beat again. Her own happiness. Andrew Sheppard ran from Caroline when life became too difficult to handle. Faced with a reality spinning out of control, he did the one thing he thought would save her from a lifetime of regret, he lied to her and disappeared for years. Thinking of her often, he lives his bachelor lifestyle, trying and failing, to put the memory of her to rest. Fate has other plans for the two separated lovers when it puts them back into each other’s lives in a rare stroke of destiny. They must now navigate the uncertain waters of buried lies, secrets, and regret from the past. 
Will the lies of the past come back to haunt them, destroying their chance at forever? Caroline must now decide it the history is repeating itself or if her fears are making her sabotage her one chance at true happiness.

Review

 I started reading the series out of order, first the third  (which I loved), then first (didn't like) and I just finished the 2nd one- which I liked. :) Reading it out of order gave me a new perspective, as to how much the author grew. From robotic dialog and way too much explanation, each book grows and gets a lot better. There is still too many dialogs, that are more exposition than people talking, but not so much as to hanker the flow of the story. 

 We follow the story of Caroline and Andrew. There were childhood friends, turned boyfriend/ girlfriends until Andrew finished it off. His sister just got hurt and he blamed himself, so when they moved away, it was easier for him to break it off, than to face the truth. 

 After all those years they are thrown together, when Caroline and Josh come to his Gym, to form a business deal. There are quite a lot of bums on the road to HEA. :) I like reading the story, especially glimpses of Josh and Emily. :)

Happy reading,
Anie

Cat Jones is happy with her sheltered quiet life until her mom's crazy friends challenge her to say yes to everything for a month. Her first response is definitely no, but somehow she is convinced to give it a try. The first thing she says yes to is a nightly swim in the cold sea with a group of colourful characters. Next is to host a very popular daily show along the TV royalty, offered by a hot TV executive. She not only changes her life, one yes at a time but also inspires her two best friends to go along with her. I love this book! I was sucked into the story from the very start and had to read it in one swoop.  It tells the story of how saying yes to life, can change it fundamentally. Cat goes through huge personal growth, finding new friendships, transforming old ones, and new jobs and meets all kinds of people along the way, along with a TV executive who makes her heart flutter.  The story is funny, inspirational with lots of friendships of all varieties and a little bit of

Penny is a teacher at an elementary school. Her mother is spending a few months with her aunt and she is looking for a summer job. She gets a job as a secretary for a gaming company, while her friend is on maternity leave. What she didn't expect is for her boss to be so rude, or so hot. And before she knows it, she is on his private plane and he is asking her to pretend to be engaged to him for a week. Jace is the owner of a gaming company. He is insanely busy, always working. He hasn't been to a family reunion in years. So this year he hired someone to pretend to be his fiance, to get his family off his back. When she cancels last minute, he asks his new assistant to fill the role.  It was hard to pretend at first, but all too soon it all starts to feel very real. They fall hard for each other. It's steamy, and romantic, with a touch of instant love, family time and a whole lot of fun. :) I listened to the story, the narrator was awesome. :)  rating❤❤❤❤ ❤ cover❤❤❤ ❤ ❤ book
