There’s no fixing what he broke…

Gemma
Accidents happen and mine took me out of the race.
After months of recuperation, I’m finally ready to get back in the saddle. But the rodeo circuit isn’t what it used to be.

Chance Benson isn’t either. The broody cowboy I once considered my best friend seems more interested in riding buckle bunnies than broncos. His reputation is a scandal I’ve unsubscribed from.

At least until the truth comes out. What Chance really needs is a lesson in love. Maybe I can find it in my broken heart to teach him.

Chance
I’m in love with my best friend. Actually, scratch that. Gemma Keaton considers herself more of an enemy these days, which I accept full responsibility for.

It was a gamble and I ended up losing it all. Well, everything except my virginity. That I’m saving for Gemma. She just has to forgive me first.
Or maybe not.

As it turns out, my former friend is very interested in being my first. The only catch? Gemma refuses to be more than that. I’m nothing if not up for a challenge, but the stakes are higher than ever. Especially when the past is determined to destroy us.

It comes down to proving myself and this time, I won’t let anything stop me from claiming Gemma as mine.

MY REVIEW


Gemma and Chance were true childhood best friends, and were planning on it being a forever friendship. There was some mutual pining going on that looked to be realized and acted upon. Then Chance pushed her away and Gemma reacted in kind. Now though, he wants his girl back. Thanks to a few talks with people who love them both, he knows just trying to talk her into forgiveness isn't cutting it. Groveling. Grand gestures. Putting his heart on the line. Once he deploys these, Gemma just may find it impossible to hold onto her anger and hurt, and allow him back into her own heart.


These best friends turned enemies turned lovers were so much fun to read. Gemma and Chance had so much to work through, a lot of pain and anger, but there was a lot of love there too. Chance's ways of getting back his girl were hilarious - some breaking and entering, perhaps following (stalking) her around, annoying her, but ultimately finding his way back into her good graces. And whew, the uh lessons? Talk about 5 alarm hot! I adore this sweet, funny, delicious, and heartfelt journey back to to love.

You TV series

Wow, hubby and I watched You on Lifetime last night. It was creepy and suspenseful. Hubby likened it to Dexter , and I have to agree. Penn Badgley was on point - creepy, stalkery, but fascinating. I didn't think too much of Elizabeth Lail's acting, but I'm not sure if it was just that her character was bland, or if it was truly bad acting. Can't wait for next week!
