A very promising book that gave me everything. Even at the beginning, I can tell it wasn't just another 'friends with benefits' as well as a 'second-chance' romance. The layers here are amazing.
An engaging romance novel that also tugged at my heartstrings. It's been a while since I had anything that made me grin from ear to ear and I'm excited to read more of the author's other books.
The tug of war does happen but it doesn't get dragged out. The leads have their burdens to bear, things that needed resolution - all of these on top of their shared history makes it a very good read for me.
I relate to the heroine about her feeling of inadequacy and the hero, to a point, also realises that he's been going in the wrong direction about his attempts which he quickly course-corrected. I am very happy about that.
The ensemble of characters made up mostly of the hero's family is fun to be around (will Oliver have a book!?!?) - though can be a bit overwhelming at first (LOL).

Will things be different "This Time Around"? This novel was so romantic! I'm in love, love, love with Rafe! If only Jane's father had not interfered, and delved more into the relationship between his daughter Jane and her beau, Rafe. After years apart, can these two re-kindle what may have been. It is easy to see they were meant to be together; but can they make it happen? Suspense, romance, steaminess, love, sweetness, sexy alpha, needs reinforcement heroine. I will read this book again it was so good!
