“PREPARE TO FALL IN LOVE…”—Jill Shalvis

Molly Burnett dreads returning to her hometown of Hope for her sister’s wedding, especially knowing she’ll have to endure a weekend with the one man she never wants to see again. It’s only a couple of days, so Molly will try to forget her painful past with high school sweetheart Carter Richards. Because despite the bitter memories, she still can’t forget what they once meant to each other.
 
But when Molly is forced to extend her stay, Carter sees this as his second chance to do things right, to start over again with the only woman he’s ever loved. This time, he isn’t going to let Molly run. Together they’re going to confront the past and put it behind them, and hope for a future as bright as the flame that still burns hot between them.

Rating: 3.5 Stars

This book was very satisfying, as I expected from Burton. I was happy to be back in Hope and really excited that this pairing was a second-chance romance. They two were high school sweethearts, who had a major falling out that sent Molly running. She lived a nomadic life, until she returned home for her sister's wedding and ending up staying longer due to a family emergency.

I was all for these two reconnecting. First of all, Carter was wonderful. He really put himself out there with Molly, yet did exercise a bit of caution. I loved seeing them rediscovering each other as adults and was cheering for them the whole time. I did feel the ending was a bit rushed, which is why I knocked off a half star, but everything else I look for was there. I am going to admit, that there were a few times I got a little emotional too. There is just something about second chance romances that gets me every time.
