MY REVIEW

Whitney has to suck it up and get used to her first and only love, Cam, being back in town. After all, he's one of her bosses now. But, she's got game face for days, and refuses to allow him to ruffle her. Except when he seems intent on starting up with her again, she's not exactly sure why. She can put him off, though. She knows he's not sticking around permanently, right?

The more Cam's around Whit, the more he wants her back. Or perhaps he just wants to get her out of his system, to prove that she no longer has a hold on him. After all, she's the one who sent him off to college without her, breaking his poor heart in the process. Can these two work amicably together and not blur the professional lines? Then live with each other as her grandma asks him to move in with them? Or is their attraction and the feelings that never went away too much for them to bear?

I loved this sweet second chance. Whitney grew and developed so much, right up to the very end. It was heartening to read. But lest I forget, the tension between the muscular tatted up Cam who is addicted to taking care of things for the people he cares about, and his perfectly poised, put together love, Whitney, whew! And nothing was sexier than reading how Cam took care of Whitney, the now woman he had always loved. It was beautiful that he recognized she was no longer a girl, was in fact, the most capable business leader of them all. This Romeo and Juliet style second chance love story is an A+ in my books!

Excerpt

He leaned in, close enough that she could feel his breath on her lips when he said, “Let me kiss you.”

Oh damn. She wanted that. She wanted it so much. She was weak.

“I—” she started.

“The tea is getting cold!” Didi bellowed from the kitchen.

Whitney and Cam stilled. Then she felt him sigh. But he didn’t pull back. “You going to let me do this or not?”

He was already practically kissing her. When his lips moved as he spoke, they brushed hers ever so lightly. His body heat surrounded her. She swore she could feel his heartbeat pounding. Or maybe that was hers.

They both clearly wanted this. She certainly wasn’t pushing him away or stepping back. But the only actual connection was his hand on her face. And their mingling breaths.

Clearly he was going to insist that she make this decision. He wasn’t going to just sweep her up and kiss the hell out of her before she could protest and then let the chemistry take over.

“Whit,” he said, his voice low and rough. “Push me back or pull me closer.”

She slid her hands up to his chest, not sure until the last moment if she was going to fist his shirt and pull him in or push him away.

Cam, however, didn’t look surprised when she pushed.

He let go and stepped back though. He didn’t seem angry or even frustrated. It seemed that he’d been expecting her reaction actually.

“Okay,” he finally said.

She wet her lips. “Thanks,” she said, hoarsely. And she meant it. She appreciated that he was giving her these choices. Kind of.

It would be a lot easier to just climb him like a tree and give in to everything zipping between them if he’d just back her up against the wall, seal his mouth over hers, and start running his big hands over her body. Then she could pretend she was just caught up in the moment and enjoy the hell out of it without actually admitting she wanted any of that.

Which he knew.

She could see it.

He knew that she wanted him, but that she didn’t want to admit it.

So, of course, he was going to make her confess before he did anything more.

“In case you’ve forgotten, I’m very stubborn,” he said.

Whitney gave him a nod. “I remember.”

“And something you should know about me and the past ten years,” he said, holding her gaze steadily, “I’ve also gotten very used to winning. “

That actually made her heart trip and her inner muscles clench.

See, she should really feel trepidation at that implied promise from him. But she didn’t.

“I’ll keep that in mind,” she said, trying desperately not to act excited about the idea of him trying again and again to get close to her.

He looked at her for a long moment and a thought flickered through her mind—he knows.
