Love second chance stories. David and Olivia reunited after being separated as teenagers. Even tho this was a novella, this author told this story as if it was a full length novel. Great job Te'. Definitely needs 10 ⭐🌟.

Super short and super sexy
David and Olivia are childhood sweethearts who lost track of each other when her family moved across the country 10 years ago. By chance, David is watching the evening news when he sees a familiar face on the screen. He reaches out to her on social media and they pick back up effortlessly.
Té Russ has mastered the art of the short. She gives a complete and plausible setup, enough background and additional characters so that you get the sense this could be real people, and chemistry and intimate scenes that ooze sex appeal. Be forewarned the story is VERY short so if that’s not your thing you may want to skip this one, but if it is you will not be disappointed. Five stars.

Meant to be...
David and Olivia were perfection in this story. It's a quick read, I picked it up waiting for my pecan pies to be done and finished it. They were high school sweethearts who were separated by a move only to find themselves living in the same city 10 years later. Picking up where they left off like time and distance never happened.

Short & Sweet
Short, sweet, and as cute as can be. Who doesn’t remember that childhood love? Old lovers torn apart through no fault of their own. Will they have a second chance at love a decade later?

This was a cute and sexy second chance at love story about David and Livvie reconnecting after ten whole years. I love how she held on to the promise ring that he gave her.

Even though it’s a novella and you desperately want the story to continue and develop, it’s simply perfect. The story of David and Olivia proves that love can stand the rest of time!

Second Chances
There is nothing like getting a second chance with the one you loved. David and Olivia received that opportunity after being apart ten years

Reuniting after 10 years feels so good and so right for David and Olivia. This is a good little novella with beautiful story and great characters.

Enjoyed It
I'm glad Livvie and David found each other again. Their love and chemistry didn't change either. Wanted a Lil more, but all good things come to an end.

I wanted more!
This was a sweet short story. Livvie and David were head over heels for each other when life broke them apart. Fate brings them back together and their chemistry is off the charts. I could have read many more pages about their relationship.
