Book Review: Right Where You Left Me

 

The first time I laid my eyes on Matthew Williams, I knew he spelled trouble.

Dark haired, broody and with eyes as tempestuous as the sea, he stole my breath away.

The pull to become his friend was irresistible. Falling for him inevitable. Getting my heart broken inescapable.

Now the reformed bad boy is back, working as a police officer in our small town. He wants to talk, but I’m determined to keep my distance. I may still be right where he left me, but I’m not the girl I used to be. Or so I’d like to think.

However, when my ex boyfriend refuses to get the memo that we’re over, and nobody in Bluebonnet Creek believes Matthew has changed, we come to an agreement.

Three months. Weekly dates. And absolutely no kissing.

Faking it shouldn’t be hard, but the problem is, being with Matthew doesn’t feel fake at all. Then my life implodes, and he comes to my rescue.

What if my life isn’t the only thing in danger, but also my heart?

My Review

I already did not like Jessica's ex-boyfriend. I was cheering for her when she found the nerve to break up with him and hung up on him mid ranting. She deserved better than him. Yet who could image that someone would be Matthew. 

He has not been back in Bluebonnet Creek for a long time. I laughed when his sister did not take it easy on him, despite the years. Matthew and Jessica slowly navigate feelings they have for each other. It is not an easy route as it is filled with past lives and heartache, but they support each other and eventually get their HEA. 

Someone say, second chance, small-town romance...yes, please!
