My review
For a small town, gossip would always be inevitable. You do
something, the next day it will be all over town. However, when the love of
your life jilted you at the altar on the day of your wedding, it would take a
hundred years before they forget it.
Why in the world would she leave him? Flynn and Ellie
were good together. They may have different backgrounds, but they clicked, they
had chemistry. Until she left him standing there, alone. Heartbroken.
After ten years, Ellie, now a soap opera star was back in
town. She was back to take care of her injured godmother, Matilda and is
determined to stay out of everyone’s way. She knew she wasn’t the town’s
favorite after the stunt she pulled. But she had her reasons. Now, if only she
wouldn’t bump into her old flame.
But for a small-town and tight-knit community, news
travel fast, and it’s not long before the people of the Hope Junction is
gossiping about these two old love birds.
It didn’t take long before fate had brought them back
together. There were a lot of unresolved issues, and dark secrets that they
needed to spill. And these secrets brought heartbreaking moments to this book. It
has been a long time, and wounds that have been healing were once again cut
fresh. Will they be able to surpass this? Or will their love story won’t be
able to have a fresh start?
I was pinning for the both of them. I knew that there is
still sparks somewhere there, but I wished one of them would first open up
about what happened why Flynn was jilted and the after effects of it. It was
standing in the way. They needed to be honest, to form trust in order to pass
through the strain in their relationship.
I adore Matilda, she’s one of my favorites in this book,
and I think she’s the one who had given life and laughter to it. This eccentric
woman had taken care of Ellie when her mother was too busy living her life. And
for that, Ellie would sacrifice anything for this old lady. But even her is
keeping something from our girl.
I admire Flynn’s determination not to succumb to the
darkness that once engulfed him during his younger days when his heart was
broken. Not just that, he was determined not to fall in love all over again
with the one who left him at the altar, but to no avail. This girl had stolen
his heart since they were a teenager, and she had not returned it yet.
For those who love second-chance romance, this is a great
read. Second chances are rare, and most likely you have to work for it. Flynn
and Ellie’s road to second chance wasn’t easy, there were a lot of hurdles,
their past, their secrets, and not to mention the people around them. It took
them a while before they finally realize that they were meant to be together.
But the wait, all those heartaches, and tear-jerking moments were worth it.
