This review was originally posted on Star Crossed Reviews Following my enjoyment of Cocktails in Chelsea I very quickly started Strawberries at Wimbledon.

We begin with Rayne and Lily waiting to watch their first live wimbledon match. The girls have a rare day off and can't wait to relax and enjoy the day. When the girls take their seats it appears Rayne's ex Adam happens to be sitting in the row behind them. Rayne thought he was out of the country so it's a big shock when he's sitting behind her.

After the way things ended Rayne isn't sure how Adam feels. Is he still mad at her? She's also not quite sure how she feels. He's the only boy she's ever loved and now he's sitting right behind her.

Rayne and Adam have both changed a lot since their Uni days and seeing each other 5 years later is bringing up feelings that Rayne thought she had buried. Rayne is a clever girl who has spent many years working to be where she is and can't afford this sort of distraction in her life but Adam is making her belly flip flop and her insides tingle in ways that are difficult to ignore.

I love the way Nikki used flashbacks of their relationship to give us some backstory. It makes you feel like you know the characters so much more because you know what it took for them to be the people they are today.

I really enjoyed Rayne and Adam's story. I absolutely adored the last line of the book.
