In the nineties, Abigale Applegate and Zach Barnes were the most beloved sitcom child stars in the world. Then they grew up and left Hollywood behind…
Whatever happened to Abigale Applegate?
She’s been wondering the same thing.
With her Hollywood dreams long gone, Abigale now has a nice, neat, uncomplicated life—until the day her perfect fiancé needs to talk. Dumped, a little more than shattered, and totally confused, Abigale turns to Zach, her best friend since forever, to help her pick up the pieces. He does it with the gift of a journal. She can vent her frustrations and sketch out a new plan. Zach just hopes he’s part of it. Because he’s been in love with Abigale his entire life.
When the journal falls into Zach’s hands, he discovers Abigale wants a new man. And fast. Nothing more than a hot distraction. Zach has a plan of his own: He’s going to be that man. It’s his last chance. Abigale might be out to shake up her life, but Zach’s out to reinvent it. Now, all he has to do is convince Abigale that life can go as planned.
I don't normally read contemporary romance much. I'm more into paranormal or suspense. I like the action and fast paced story lines. However, I do read Shiloh Walker's contemporary romances. She develops great characters and a storyline that I don't get bored with. I started reading her books with a romantic suspense with some paranormal aspects to it. I've since fallen in love with her writing.
In this book, you have two former child actors who have stayed friends even after they left the business. It is a little frustrating because Abby is blind to the love that Zach has for her and the fact that he tries so hard to hide it from her. As you read further into the book, more is explained about their thoughts about their relationship.
As you read this book, you also find yourself wanting to know more about the secondary characters. Right now, this book is listed as a standalone. Hopefully, if this book does well, we'll get see a Keelie book in the future. Also, Zach's brothers should be on that list as well.
I was given this book by the author from a contest on Twitter. An honest review was requested, but not required.
