Back in her hometown of Ruby Falls, Aria Heart is determined to find herself and the happiness that has always felt just out of reach. Something that would be a lot easier to do if her parents weren\u2019t so close by, reminding her just why she left town as soon as she could, and if the house she just purchased wasn\u2019t already giving her problems.<\/p>\n
Just when Aria starts to second guess her decision, Tide Goodman knocks on her door and shoves his way under her defenses. Is it possible that the happiness she\u2019s been searching for is attached to a man like Tide, the guy she crushed on in high school who didn\u2019t even seem to know she existed? A man with an adorable daughter and baggage of his own?<\/p>\n
In order to find out, she\u2019ll have to put everything, including her heart, on the line one more time.<\/p>\n

Add to Goodreads<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n 4 stars<\/b><\/p>\n This is a quick and easy, gorgeously romantic read with a whole lot of heart. A single parent romance with an alpha hero that completely stole my heart, and the story of two people, both wrestling with baggage from their pasts, coming together in a beautiful, swoony love story.<\/p>\n This is the second book in the Ruby Falls<\/i> series. It\u2019s been so long since the first book was released, and I had completely forgotten all of the characters, but this is Tide\u2019s book \u2013 he is the best friend of Connor, the hero from Falling Fast<\/a>. Connor and Gia do appear in this book, but this one can absolutely be read as a standalone. For those have read Falling Fast<\/i> (and remember it), seeing Connor and Gia again will be a real treat.<\/p>\n Aria has returned to her small home town of Ruby Falls following a nasty divorce. Though her childhood wasn\u2019t a happy one, and she\u2019s not keen to be back in the same town as her dysfunctional parents, the town feels like home to her, and she has bought a home on a huge block of land to give her the privacy and peace she craves while she writes her next best-seller.<\/p>\n The house problems start immediately, and when she calls an emergency contractor, Tide Goodman shows up at her door. Tide Goodman, who is tall, rugged and sexy, and the guy that she crushed on in high school. They didn\u2019t mix in the same circles and never had much to do with each other, but he\u2019s all grown up now and spreading his alpha vibes all over her new house (lots of \u201cbabe\u201d statements and protective bossiness).<\/p>\n Tide doesn\u2019t recognise Aria immediately, but the attraction is pretty much instant, and he sets about infiltrating her life. From helping her with her house problems to unpacking boxes and assembling furniture, he\u2019s all over it, and the sexual tension builds as they spend time together. We don\u2019t have to wait too long for something to happen, and it\u2019s oh-so-freaking-hot!!! And from that moment, it\u2019s on. Tide won\u2019t allow it to be any other way.<\/p>\n The guy who was trying to talk to her earlier rests his hand on her shoulder. I love reading about these kinds of heroes – guys that don\u2019t hold back from their women, making it clear that they\u2019re all-in, and being all protective and growly, but at the same time being sweet, supportive and caring. Tide is a true (hot-as-hell) alpha, even though he\u2019s a little bit growly, and I just adored him. And when you add in the fact that he is the soft and smitten single father to an adorable four-year-old little girl, my heart melted.<\/p>\n Tide and Aria fall in love naturally, easily and fiercely, and I loved every moment of watching it happen.<\/p>\n \u201cYou\u2019re everything, baby, and I swear to God that one day you\u2019ll see what everyone else does and realize the only thing I want from you is you.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n But Tide is dealing with a problematic ex-wife, while Aria has a troublesome ex of her own, as well as some pretty intense family issues to deal with. She\u2019s been so hurt, and she has some justifiable fears, but watching the two of them together, standing strong and dealing with their problems sensibly, without any unnecessary angst, drama or game playing, was fantastic.<\/p>\n \u201cThe universe wouldn\u2019t give me the gift of you, if you were not meant to be mine.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n I really enjoyed this book. Tide and Aria are great characters, and I loved watching them work through their dramas and fight to move forward together. They have a gorgeous love story that is fun, functional sexy, intense, sweet and beautifully swoony. And that epilogue was the icing on the cake.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Such a great read \u2013 4 stars!<\/p>\n An Advanced Review Copy was generously provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.<\/i><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Falling Fast (#1)<\/strong> (Colton & Gia) One More Time (#2)<\/strong> (Tide & Aria) <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Aurora Rose Reynolds is a New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author whose wildly popular series include\u00a0Until<\/a>,\u00a0Until Her\/Him<\/a>,\u00a0Underground Kings<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0Shooting Stars<\/a>.<\/p>\n Her writing career started in an attempt to get the outrageously alpha men who resided in her head to leave her alone and has blossomed into an opportunity to share her stories with readers all over the world.<\/p>\n Newsletter\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0Amazon\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0Bookbub\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0| \u00a0Facebook\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0Twitter\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0Website\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0Goodreads\u00a0<\/a>\u00a0|\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>Instagram<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0 |\u00a0\u00a0Pinterest<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" One More Time by Aurora Rose Reynolds is live!

\n\u201cI know this is kinda forward.\u201d He glances nervously at me before focusing back on her. \u201cBut I was wondering if I could get your number, and maybe we could get dinner or something some time.\u201d
\n\u201cOh\u2026well–\u201d She fidgets with the zipper of her sweatshirt looking nervous.
\n\u201cShe\u2019s not available,\u201d I cut her off, not even attempting to hide my annoyance.
\n\u201cFigures.\u201d He walks off, and I glare at his back as he goes, then focus on Aria.
\n\u201cYou\u2019re not available,\u201d I tell her, watching her cheeks darken. \u201cNot even a little.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.escapistbookblog.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/One-More-Time-Teaser-2.jpg?resize=401%2C401&ssl=1\")
