Harper is wowed when he sees the woman Ava has become. What the heck happened to that skinny nerd who had a monster-size crush on him? She's a hottie with a boom-boom body. Trouble.
Ava, who thinks she's finally overcome her crush on Harper, is hurled back to square one. He's even more handsome than she remembered. Trouble.

I love 💘it
This my first go round with this author and I'm impressed. I love the creativity that brought each character to life. I was speechless page after page. Harper was still struggling with his relationship with his parents and he also lived with the guilt of what happened to his sister. Ava and Harper may make a good team but Harper needed to decide if he was going to remain alone or admit how he felt about Ava. Enjoyed the comedic banter between both characters. Hilarious!

Great Read
I enjoyed reading about Harper and Ava. They are an inspiration to couples that are friends before becoming lovers. I recommend this book to everyone that needs to believe in second chances.

Stubbornness. Hardheaded. Two lovers with history, yet a nice read. I enjoyed it. Just enough.

Not great with a very average plot. The continuous sexual references makes the plot hard to follow.

This book I actually got from a supermarket...LOL...Didn't have anything to read and was on my way to get my hair done. Not your average drama filled book but was pretty good.

This is a re-read for me. Read this book several years ago and was curious about the updates the author made. I would give this a 3.5 rating. This reminds me of all the classic romance books written 10 years ago. The author has definitely improved over the years.
