Zev Braden and Carly Dylan were co-explorers, best friends, and first loves. Their close-knit families were sure they were destined to marry—until a devastating tragedy struck, breaking the two lovers apart. Over the next decade Zev, a nomadic treasure hunter, rarely returned to his hometown, and Carly became a chocolatier and built a whole new life across the country. When a chance encounter brings them back into each other’s lives, can they find the true love that once existed, or will shattered dreams and broken hearts prevail? Find out in Searching for Love, a deliciously sexy, funny, and emotional second-chance romance.

MY REVIEW

Carly knows she has to face her first love, the man who broke her young heart all those years ago when he walked away and left her when she needed him most. She figures if she acts unconcerned, and as if she might have a boyfriend or boyfriends, Zev will leave her alone. She underestimated Zev's determination to set things right between them, to gain her forgiveness, though.


Zev thought he was doing what was best for Carly back when he broke her heart, both their hearts, by walking away so long ago. Of course, he didn't bother asking HER what was best, just assumed, but I suppose it was a symptom of his young age at the time. He's never gotten over her, though, and when he finds out she lives in his hometown, and will be at his brother's wedding, he knows it's his one chance to redeem himself and ask for her forgiveness. He may not deserve it, and she may not be prepared to give it, but he will get that second chance if it's the last thing he does. But, as usual, he's got a limited time at home before he jets off on one of his treasure finding adventures. Will Carly give in even though he's leaving again? Or will she break their hearts this time by walking away?


Searching for Love is a sweet, emotional story of first love and second chances. I was rooting, not so much for Carly and Zev as a couple, but for Carly herself. To me, she stood out as the shining star of her own story, and I so wanted her to spread her wings and fly. She'd suffered through so much, internalized so much, without sharing, and I hurt for her. I admit to not liking Zev so much, thinking he really wasn't good enough for her, but because he was who Carly wanted, he got a pass from me. In the end, I liked the story because Carly was happy, and she was the one I cared about in this story. The secondary cast loomed large, making for awesome cameos and I can't wait for Nick and Trixie's story next.

Review: One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti

Review of One Little Lie by Whitney Barbetti ONE LITTLE LIE Hollis is a good girl with a crush on a broody musician. Unfortunately, that boy, Adam, hates her. Why? Because the chip on his shoulder leaves him thinking good girl, rich girl Hollis is a lemming like everyone else in their small town. Which makes it even more unfortunate when years after their high school encounter, Hollis' best friend tries to stick up for her and ends up telling her parents that Adam is the the boyfriend Hollis doesn't actually have. Oops. How will Hollis ever convince Adam to go along with her little lie? I really liked One Little Lie. Hollis is a really naive girl, but she has such a huge heart that I couldn't help but fall in love with her spirit. She's so sweet, so compassionate, the kind of person this world needs more of. Adam, on the other hand, eh, he didn't do much for me. His chip on the shoulder, broody asshole attitude did nothing to endear me to him, but because H...
