When Valerie Hall decides to leave San Diego after a bad break up, she abandons her budding teaching career to start over in her hometown of Sacramento. She meets Jun Kobayashi, her charming neighbor, and struggles to ignore the mutual attraction pulling them together. As the past catches up to her, Valerie must deal with the fallout and her feelings for Jun.
I am so happy to have found this wonderful new author. She wrote an incredibly tender and realistic story. Jun sees a beautiful woman while he is on a date; her smile knocks a hole in his heart. He is surprised to see her next door at his friends’s house. Valarie has baggage from her last relationship and hesitantly allows Jun into her world. Jun is one of the best book boyfriends ever....Valarie was eventually able to realize that Jun was not like her ex....but not before she terribly hurt his feelings. Luckily, she is able find the right words to make amends. I see that this is book 1...I really hope that we get more stories about Valarie’s interesting friends.
Great start but it seems like their storey isn't finished. I hope you have an opportunity to continue/finished this up especially since there was not an epilogue.
