Sam Stanton knows these simple facts:
~ He is a great catch—successful, smart, gorgeous…but the wrong woman caught him.
~ He has the perfect girl who is madly in love with him.
~ He wasted six years of his life by playing it safe.
~ He is damn good at his job and intends to keep climbing the ladder.
~ He can’t get her off his mind or out of his heart—no matter how hard he tries.
But, what he doesn’t know is just as important:
~ Will he ever really move on and forget how badly she broke his heart?
~ Should he settle for a sure thing, even knowing it’s the wrong thing?
~ Can he give up his career for a chance at happiness?
~ Does he correct one mistake with another?
~ What would he do if she were to return?
REVIEW
This book started with a bang...sort of. Sam has dreams about a woman he can't have. Which he shouldn't be, considering he has a loving fiance at home. Only the spark he so desires from the one who got away is missing with said fiance. He is such a jerk to the people he works with that most of them hate the very ground he walks on, and when a business opportunity lands the woman he so desires at his feet, he begins to question everything he thought he knew about himself. Loved Lydia- she was a well balanced character that you could love, hate and relate to all at once. She challenged Sam and made for a very suspenseful read at times- what she was going to do and how she'd react were my favorite part of this book.
I loved this book- it was raw, it was real. It hit on topics of settling for what is comfortable rather than what makes you feel alive. It touches on second chance romance, friendships, and the test of both in a work environment. I also liked how we were introduced to Sam's best friend Liam in a way that made you crave more from him in his own upcoming story. He was responsible for many of the laughs at Sam's expense in this book for me. Lol!
This is not my first AM Madden read but I do believe it is my new favorite. She is a fabulous story teller and this book will keep you engrossed from the very page it begins. I highly recommend this read and hope you love it as much as I did.
