As teenagers, Lindsay and Grady found a love together that few people are lucky enough to ever experience.
When Lindsay Ross decided to visit her aunt for the summer in a small lake town in New York, she didn’t expect anything other than an escape from her demanding parents. She certainly didn’t expect Grady Hawke. At the end of the summer, Lindsay and Grady made plans for their future and vowed to be together forever. Back in New York City, events beyond her control forced Lindsay to turn her back on Grady and their love.
Grady has spent the last five years trying to forget the one girl who broke his heart. But when Lindsay arrives back in town unannounced, will Grady get to know the woman she has become and find out the real reason she left him all those years ago? Or will he push her away for good?

Lindsay and Grady found love with each other at a very young age –
it was true, pure and felt like it would last forever. Lindsay Ross decided to
visit her sister’s mother for the summer. She had fun with her Aunt Lana, what
she didn’t expect to find was love, and Grady Hawke. By the end of the summer,
they had made plans about their future. They might be young, teenagers at that,
but they knew that they were meant to be together.
However, circumstances drove them apart, making Lindsay break
Grady’s heart. With a short, unfeeling note Lindsay broke up with Grady and
never talked to him.
Five years later, just as when Grady is starting to fix his life
and forget the girl who had torn his heart into pieces – she came back in town –
WITHOUT INFORMING HIM.
I felt sad for Lindsay, who had clearly suffered after the summer
that she left town. She was young, alone, without support from her parents and
she couldn’t call Grady. I get it that she never told anyone about him, even
her best friend. Some people might not understood, perhaps even me, because
meeting the ONE at a young age is a VERY RARE occurrence. But it happened to
THEM. They were lucky enough to find it once, but will fate allow them for
another chance?
I like Grady, even when he was an a** to Lindsay. After all, he
was broken hearted, frustrated and angry. He deserves an explanation why she
left him. He was afraid what they had been everything to him and was just a
summer fling to her.
I adore the secondary characters, especially Taryn and Leah who
had been great friends to her. I have to look forward for Ford’s story – this crazy
bartender already had my heart with his Halloween costume.
I love, love, love stories of second chances. It makes me feel
that there is hope for ‘the-one-that-got-away to come back into your life and
once again sweep you off your feet. One Reason is a part of a series, but you
can read it as a standalone. I like the characters, the twist, the romance, the
steamy scenes and the plot. This was one short, sweet read that will make you realize
that love comes in the most unexpected time in our lives, and real love,
whatever circumstances may have drive you apart, will always come back to you.
