4 stars<\/b><\/p>\n

I really enjoyed this book! A short, sweet second-chance romance that is packed with emotion and fantastic chemistry.<\/p>\n

Shay\u2019s whole world changed when she met Wes. He walked into the bar where she was working one Valentine\u2019s night, they ended up spending a sizzling night together, and from that moment on they were each other\u2019s whole world. Their connection was intense, and they just got<\/i> each other. It was the best time either of them ever had\u2026 until it wasn\u2019t, when Wes suddenly ended things and left.<\/p>\n

Broken-hearted and desperate to move on, Shay threw herself into her art and achieved the success she had been working so hard for. Her life was back on track, and then on Valentine\u2019s Day, Wes returned, one day to the year in which they met. He\u2019s back to apologise and make amends for leaving the way he did (and he is all kinds of perfect while doing it), but Shay has hardened her heart, and she\u2019s understandably determined to protect herself from future pain. Wes has a battle on his hands if he truly wants her back.<\/p>\n

This is such a sweet read. I loved the first part of the book where I fell in love with Shay, Wes, and Shay and Wes together. They are so freaking cute, and Wes is just perfection. My heart ached with Shay as it all fell apart, and then I was right there with her demanding answers when Wes came back. And then his determination to make up for his mistakes and win back his girl totally melted me, and I was full of anticipation waiting for these two to find their way back to each other. And I was not disappointed.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou were everything to me, Shay. You still are.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

*dreamy sigh*<\/p>\n

This is my first read from Sarah Smith, and I really like her style. It\u2019s easy to read, and even in such a short book she drew me in and had me feeling everything along with her characters. It\u2019s romantic, sexy and emotional, and everything that I love about second-chance-romances.<\/p>\n

4 stars!<\/p>\n
