Everyone remembers their first love. Jess Thomas definitely does. So, it’s more than a little awkward when Jess’s first love, Jamie Ferguson, turns out to be the best man at the wedding she’s catering for. And more than a little insulting when he doesn’t appear to remember her at all.
Since Jamie broke her heart (via text!), 10 years earlier, Jess has sworn off romance. And with a booming catering business to focus on, she’s doing OK. She has no interest in revisiting the past.
But when Jess’s car breaks down on a country lane, she has no choice but to accept Jamie’s help. Now, Jamie is determined to show Jess he’s a new man. But can guys like Jamie ever really change? And if she gives him another chance, is she setting herself up for a fall?
About The Author
My Review
The story begins with captivating banter and flirting, drawing the reader in with its entertaining narrative. Jess, the independent protagonist, encounters her first love, Jamie, at a wedding after 12 years of resentment. Despite their initial awkward encounter, Jess begins to see a different side of Jamie, leading to a reevaluation of their past misunderstandings. However, the story takes a downturn when Jess’s negative opinion of Jamie is reinforced by a misunderstanding, which feels like a forced addition to the plot. Despite the adorable presence of Jess’s child, Lizzie, her role in the story seems disconnected from the main narrative. Overall, while the initial charm of the story is engaging, the latter part is marred by contrived conflicts and character inconsistencies.
