It was the summer of my life.
I’d met the guy of my dreams.
Unfortunately, he was the son of my uppity employer—and very much off-limits.
But Gavin was a rebel. He knew his mother would disown him if she found out about us; in his eyes, we just had to be careful.
He never treated me as his mother did—like hired help.
Instead, Gavin put me on a pedestal and loved me harder than I’d ever been loved in my life.

What a summer it was.
Until it all ended—badly.

I was never supposed to see Gavin again.
That didn’t stop me from thinking about him every day for ten years.
I knew little about his life now, just that he was an entrepreneur living an ocean away.

When a twist of fate had me working again in the very place our love affair started a decade earlier, I knew it was only a matter of time before I might see him again.
But I wasn’t prepared.
What if he hated me?
What if he loved someone else now?
I wasn’t prepared for all the unknowns.

And most of all, I wasn’t prepared for today to be the day he came back.

If you read one book this year, read THIS book!!!

Seriously. This is a STELLAR contemporary romance that so totally clicked with me on so many levels.

First, the emotions. Penelope did a fantastic job of writing all of the feels that had me on the verge of tears several times, and cracking a huge smile at others.

Next, the smart-ness; the characters didn't pull any of that "well, I should say this out loud to avoid any confusion, but I'll just keep it a secret anyway" stuff. Nope! These characters said what they needed to say, and the story worked around the real-ness of the characters saying what a real person would say in the same situation.

Oh, and the book is SMOKIN'. But it's more than just sexy-hot because there's so much emotion surrounding the sexytimes.

Sigh...I REALLY liked this book!
