June Mayson and Evan Barrister’s whirlwind courtship resulted in a secret marriage right before he left for boot camp. Evan knows deep in his gut that June is too good for him, but after getting a taste of the beautiful life they can have together, he’s unwilling to let her go. June promises to wait for him, knowing neither time nor distance will ever change her feelings for Evan—that is until she’s served with divorce papers while he’s overseas and she’s forced to let him go.
Her marriage and divorce a well-kept secret, the last person June expects to run into when she moves back to her hometown is Evan. Angry over the past, she does everything within her power to ignore the pull she feels whenever he is near. But how can she ignore the pain she sees every time their eyes meet? How can she fight the need to soothe him even if she knows she’s liable to get hurt once again? Is it possible for June and Evan to find their way back to each other again? Or will they be stopped by an outside force before they ever have a shot?
This book was very reminiscent of the KA of old. In fact the prologue was VERY similar to that of Wild Man. Since I LOVE the KA of old, this book was right up my alley...
Low angst, and the hero remained celibate whilst the heroine moved on which is pretty much a unicorn in Romanclandia these days. I do think that there could have been a lot more groveling done on his part. I mean he sent his mom to her with divorce papers that's kind of an epic douche move worthy of at least a few pages of grovel. She fell back into his arms a little too easily in my opinion. There were also a few things I felt were underdeveloped. Like Evan's brother, June's ex, and the whole motorcycle club thing. The first two were just left hanging, and the last was wrapped up a bit too quickly and neatly.
That said, the book was HOT AS HELL. I loved all the side characters, and seeing the characters from other books. The story flowed nicely, and it had a cute (if a bit too short) epilogue. Overall though a very enjoyable read.
