I imagine we’re all doing the same thing ditching work a couple of hours early, grabbing some dinner items, and heading home to kick off our weekend. The Hannaford Supermarket is packed on this Friday afternoon. I voluntarily read & reviewed an ARC of this book. I really liked the cast of characters introduced here, and I definitely look forward to more from Julia Connors. “I promised you a long time ago that even though you weren’t my first, you’d be my last.” A slow-burn that burned just the right amount with a healthy dose of push-and-pull, pain and angst, it was a pretty good read.

But has he left things too long? Will his past and his budding career work against him, too? Nate knows he did Jackson wrong when he left her 5 years ago, but he’s hoping that this time around, they have a fighting chance to right all the wrongs that happened in the past. When she finds out that things didn’t go down the way she thought they had, will she make the necessary moves to ensure their HEA? Her heart says they belong together, but her mind has other ideas. She’s sure she’s moved on, but whenever he’s near, her body and heart become traitorous. When she finds out that she has to work with him as he trains to race on the National Ski Team, she is livid. He left her when she needed him most, breaking every single promise he’d made to her. Jackson has spent the last 5 years getting over her ex, Nate. “Without love, there’s little purpose to life.” Or, maybe we’re on the edge of getting everything we ever wanted.
