Ryley
It all started back in high school. The moment my eyes fell on him from across the crowded cafeteria. How could I not spot him? He was one of the tallest boys in school. Whatever gossip my best friend, Thea, prattled about in my ear faded along with the cacophony of voices sitting at the round tables spread throughout the large room...
Ethan
Panic. That’s the only way I can describe myself right now. Absolute, heart-wrenching panic. When Ryley Dorsey’s mom called, I suspected it would involve checking on me after my dad passed as she did when my mom died.
But, no. She drops a bombshell bigger than anything I see coming...
All Ryley Dursey ever wanted was to earn the attention of the hottest guy in Buchanan High School. Ethan Ryder is every teenage girl’s dream. But Ryley doesn’t feel she’s what Ethan deserves. Something happens the day before Ryley decides she wants to go to law school in New York. Ethan confesses he wants to give the two of them a chance. However, Ryley has already decided. She leaves Buchanan, makes a career for herself and thinks she has a chance to climb up the ladder at the firm she’s at. Reality soon sets in that Ryley isn’t what her boss wants in a woman. Broken hearted, she leaves New York to return to Buchanan. Ethan Ryder is there, waiting for her and he’s more than determined not to let the one who got away, get away again.
Sweet & Steamy Short-Story. BBW romance. NO cliffhangers.

I loved the chemistry between Ryley and Ethan. The attraction was still there after all that time. I loved their HEA.

A short read that follows Ryley and Ethan.
When Ryley loses her job in the city, she ends up back in her hometown and is worried about seeing her neighbour Ethan again. Her high school crush on him has never gone away, and she soon finds that his feelings for her have always been there too.
If you enjoy short steamy romance, this one is a book to try. It's part of a series but as it is an individual story it's easily read standalone.
I enjoyed this one and will try more by the author in the future.

This is the first book I have read by this author and it was a good read. Small town girl returns home from the big city. Down from the cruel world she had lived there. Back to the high school crush that never was. The two of them are cute. Both hiding their feelings for so long, that the moment they are back together, Ethan will stop at nothing to make Riley see, she's the girl for him. Sweet story.

Ethan lives across the street and has always been in love with her, but only spoke up the day before she left. Now that Ryley is back, he's determined to be with her...forever. like the ending.

Ethan and Riley's story is short and sweet! After several years apart they get their happy-ever-after. I quite enjoyed reading this book and I can't wait to read Casey's story!
