Review: Already Gone by Kristen Proby and K.L. Grayson
"What did I do to piss you off?"
"Sweetheart, that list is so long, we'd never get through it."
Scarlett has not stepped foot back in her hometown in years. She left everyone and everything behind to chase her music dreams (and succeeded), but her father's had a stroke and he needs her, so she's come back. She surely was not expecting to be pulled over by her former best friend for speeding, and to promptly receive a ticket from said former best friend. She has no idea (REALLY?!?!) why Tucker is so pissed at her, pissed enough to give her a ticket for being a tiny bit over the speed limit (75 in a 45).
All the years Tucker and Scarlett were best friends, he loved her. But when she took off and didn't look back, it did something to him. He's not gotten over his anger, but he also hadn't gotten over his love for her. But he knows better than to start anything with the woman who will just take off again, with his heart, AGAIN. Can Scarlett convince Tucker she's either home to stay, or that they can have both a relationship AND her career where she travels most of the year and misses all the important moments in Chloe's (Tucker's daughter) life?
For the most part, I really liked Already Gone. It's fun and witty, Scarlett's sass clashes beautifully with Tucker, and it's more than a little sexy. But, and there's only one but, I have to admit I didn't really fall Scarlett the way I fell for Tucker, Chloe and the rest of the cast. She was seriously selfish, self-absorbed, and clueless for most of the story, so much so that I found myself really wishing Tucker had been paired with someone worthy of him. That was really the only problem - I didn't feel Scarlett was worthy of Tucker. Aside from that tiny detail, though, I liked this story and am looking forward to more in this world.
