Months after her first and only boyfriend Nico left her, twenty-five year old Lisa still has him blazing under her skin. She has tried to meet somebody new, but moving on after a break-up that left you on your knees is tough, especially when your ex is sexy as sin and has turned into a player.
Nico is making a career in the London music scene with his best friend Lallo and their band. He no longer wants to be in a relationship with Lisa, but his level-headed ex, with her big heart and angelic beauty, is a temptation he can’t resist.
Lisa’s girlfriends watch her fall into Nico’s arms over and over again until enough is enough. They put together a plan to help her forget Nico: a list of potential boyfriends to pick from.
If only life was so easy…
When Lisa finally meets a new man who makes her head spin, she realizes that she needs to deal with her past with Nico once and for all. But Lisa and Nico have been each other’s world for too long and there’s no obvious way out of it. How do you get over so much history with a man who won’t let you go? And will Lisa’s new man be strong enough to accept her complicated relationship with Nico?
This is a story of love, passion, hope, and friendship. It’s a battle of wills and feelings that will change Lisa’s prospective on life forever.
...then I really started getting into it. The ex is a horse's heiney, but he eventually does right by Lisa. She ends up with the right man, but goes through a lot to get there.
In general I don't read chick-lit so this is not an expert review. :) However I really liked this book. It felt real. Who hasn't been hung up on someone that it was just so hard to say no to? I really felt for this character. I went though the emotional roller-coaster with her and as a reader I cheered for her and cursed her and worried for her! A good read if you get into your characters. :)
