LAUREN
Returning to Sunset Valley is the last thing I want to do.
But I'm out of money, out of options, and I have a six-year-old daughter who needs a home. So here I am, setting up the vintage cafe of my dreams and trying not to cross paths with the only man capable of shattering me with a single look.
Cole Wellington.
My first love. My first everything. The man I gave my virginity to, only for him to destroy me the very next day.
In a town of two thousand people, avoiding him is impossible. Especially when he looks at me like no time has passed. Like I'm still his.
But there is something Cole doesn’t Luna, my mischievous-eyed girl, is his.
COLE
Lauren Morgan is back in my town. With a daughter.
And this time, I don’t plan on letting her get away. Neither of them.
I’ve spent seven years regretting it. Seven years imagining who she’s with. If she’s happy.
It kills me to think another man started a family with her.
But that girl... That girl is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. She has Lauren’s eyes, her smile, her infectious laugh.
I don't care who her father is. I'm going to win Lauren back, and I'm going to be the father that little girl needs.
Because Lauren Morgan is mine. She always has been.
I just have to remind her.
In Sunset Valley, secrets come to light... and some love stories deserve a second chance.
Geez, he lied to her, broke her heart, and left her languishing for seven long years, one secret child, and a mess of emotions. I just can't get stupid. I think he was celibate for those seven years but I do not know for sure . it was okay nothing special and a quick read.
I enjoyed the storyline for this book. I liked the characters and the premise of the story. What felt lacking was the continued repetition of the same descriptions ("with an indescribable expression" twice on the same page, the constant reference to Cole Wellington (we know who he is, no need for repeated last name)). I felt like the strong female lead became very wishy washy. I wanted to give this more stars but those were a few of my hang ups. I feel like there was a lot of potential for a great book.
