The bestselling author of The Simple Wild and Keep Her Safe and “master of steamy romance” (Kirkus Reviews) delivers a sizzling novel about an ambitious and high-powered executive who reconnects with her first love: the boy who broke her heart.
Life is a mixed bag for Piper Calloway.
On the one hand, she’s a twenty-nine-year-old VP at her dad’s multibillion-dollar real estate development firm, and living the high single life with her two best friends in a swanky downtown penthouse. On the other hand, she’s considered a pair of sexy legs in a male-dominated world and constantly has to prove her worth. Plus she’s stuck seeing her narcissistic ex-fiancé—a fellow VP—on the other side of her glass office wall every day.
Things get exponentially more complicated for Piper when she runs into Kyle Miller—the handsome new security guard at Calloway Group, and coincidentally the first love of her life.
The guy she hasn’t seen or heard from since they were summer camp counselors together. The guy from the wrong side of the tracks. The guy who apparently doesn’t even remember her name.
Piper may be a high-powered businesswoman now, but she soon realizes that her schoolgirl crush is still alive and strong, and crippling her concentration. What’s more, despite Kyle’s distant attitude, she’s convinced their reunion isn’t at all coincidental, and that his feelings for her still run deep. And she’s determined to make him admit to them, no matter the consequences.
This is my first K.A. Tucker book and definitely won't be my last.
I am all about second chances, and there was a lot of that going around in this story. The main focus was the rekindling of the romance between Piper and Kyle after 13 long years, but there were a bunch of great side plots too. I have to admit, I adored the chapters, when we went back in time to summer camp. Not only was the camp setting tons of fun, but I got to watch Piper and Kyle fall in love. First love is always a thing of beauty, and Tucker did it so well.
While I was reading, I kept imagining more books in this world. A book Piper's roommates and Kyle's brother would be fabulous, and would allow me to check up on Piper and Kyle.
Overall: A fantastic twofer romance - part first love, part second chance, and wholly wonderful!
