Head out on a road trip with a heroine determined to have a second chance with a man from her past. All she has to do is make it to Climax Cove, Oregon by Christmas to find him. Even if it means traveling cross-country with a man who drives her absolutely crazy.
It’s a simple trip. What could go wrong? Answer: Everything.
Love wasn’t part of the blueprint when high school sweethearts reunite in their small town. But this former military man never forgot the girl he left behind and he’s more determined than ever for a second chance to rebuild their relationship brick by brick and heart by heart.
What to expect: ✔️reunited high school sweethearts ✔️former military man ✔️current fireman/bricklayer ✔️newly divorced single mom ✔️she-grump/sunshine ✔️all the spice ✔️small-town romance
Blurb: Getting locked in the men’s restroom during my mother’s funeral wasn’t exactly how I expected to run into my high school sweetheart. The one who got away. The one who broke my heart.
I could toss the busted doorknob in my hand at him, but I’d prefer to get the heck away. Because twenty years later, Knox Sylver isn’t a teenage boy anymore but a broad-shouldered, thick scruff man with eyes that still look at me like I’m the only person in the room.
As a newly divorced mother of two teenagers, it’s been a long time since anyone sees me. And Knox is definitely watching.
Unfortunately, he made choices in the past and I wasn’t one of them.
According to him, that is ancient history.
Also, according to him, it’s never too late for a second chance. He’s out to prove he’s solid and stable, having returned to our small hometown, in a better place after a career in the military. He’s a local hero as a fireman and he wants to rekindle the flame between us.
I’m the one with decisions this round.
Do I stay where memories hurt? Or do I leave my past, and Knox, behind me again?

They say revenge is a dish best served cold.
I’d had four years to stew on what Daria Followhill did to me, and now my heart was completely iced.
I took her first kiss. She took the only thing I loved.
I was poor. She was rich.
The good thing about circumstances? They can change. Fast.
Now, I’m her parents’ latest shiny project.
Her housemate. Her tormentor. The captain of the rival football team she hates so much.
Yeah, baby girl, say it—I’m your foster brother.
There’s a price to pay for ruining the only good thing in my life, and she’s about to shell out some serious tears.
Daria Followhill thinks she is THE queen.
I’m about to prove to her that she’s nothing but a spoiled princess.
Daria
Everyone loves a good old unapologetic punk.
But being a bitch? Oh, you get slammed for every snarky comment, cynical eye roll, and foot you put in your adversaries’ way.
The thing about stiletto heels is that they make a hell of a dent when you walk all over the people who try to hurt you.
In Penn Scully’s case, I pierced his heart until he bled out, then left it in a trash can on a bright summer day.
Four years ago, he asked me to save all my firsts for him.
Now he lives across the hall, and I want nothing more than to be his last everything.
His parting words when he gave me his heart were that nothing in this world is free.
If you have not dived into the Mine To series then you are truly missing out! This is a best friends to lovers trope that is executed with perfection. Levi and Eva just had me from page one. Eva needs a favor from Levi in order to make sure that things go smoothly with custody of her niece. This is only for a year so what can go wrong? I absolutely loved Eva and Levi! Their friendship was pure and solid. I love the innocence of their bond and how it just builds. Now listen to me because the story itself is wonderful. There is a bit of angst so don’t expect for them to fall at each others feet so quickly which I didn’t think I was going to like but again the way Natasha has delivered it has won me over. Levi is dirty talker and so sensual that honestly Eva didn’t have a chance to not fall in love. I think this is one of my favorites of the series. Love love and ready for the last in the series which I feel Caine will give Levi a run for his money😁

From Wall Street Journal & USA Today bestselling author Natasha Madison comes a small town, best friends to lovers, fake marriage, and forced proximity romance.
When your best friend asks you for the biggest favor of her life.
EVA Things were finally looking up for me. I was my own boss; I owned my own house— and I recently was contacted by an older sister I didn’t know I had. Everything was perfect…until tragedy struck. All the things that had come into my life were suddenly gone—except for one thing: my niece.
LEVI I was a confirmed bachelor. I was married to my work and committed to nothing more. No woman was going to change that. Eva is my best friend and needed a life-changing favor: Marry her so she could gain custody of her niece. A marriage of convenience that would only last a year, tops. But there were stipulations we hadn’t planned on. Things got blurry—lines got crossed. I would honor my commitment…I just hope I can walk away.
This has several tropes like teammates sister, sports romance and age gap to name a few. Jaxson is a professional hockey player and his teammates sister Grace is definitely off limits. You know it is never that simple lol. Grace is out of a relationship and now back near Jaxson. They decide on a road trip and well they be able to restrain their feelings? These two really do become closer and there are some obstacles in the way especially what will his teammate say . The banter between these flowed well and was cute. Jaxson does try really hard to resist but…… I loved Grace bubbly and sweet and going for what she wants. Great read and happy for the best in the series.
My brother’s teammates know not to touch me—but that doesn’t stop me from daring Jaxson Brittain to be the first to break the rule.
