About the book:
Lacey O’Connor is
finally a sure thing for the promotion she’s spent ten years working
for. But when a scandal rocks her firm she finds herself on a collision
course with the one person she has spent five years trying to forget.
Only to discover he doesn’t even remember her…
Victor Carlisle
has spent the last three years trying to convince his family he’s no
longer the playboy alcoholic who tore their life apart. When a company
merger is announced with a US sister firm, he’s presented with the
perfect opportunity to prove he’s changed. Only to find himself falling
for his competition and the one woman his family will never accept.
As
the competition intensifies the choice looms between the professional
and the personal. Can they find a way beyond their past decisions and
present aspirations to take a chance on the one thing they’re not
looking for?
My review:
This was a wonderful romance about second chances and forgiveness! I loved that Lacey was a strong woman who knew what she wanted and went for it. I felt so bad for Victor, a former bad boy whose family won't let him get past his former life to make a new one. I loved how he was so mindful of what he did now and was always trying to be honorable. They both had plenty of baggage from their dysfunctional families that influenced how they viewed the world and reacted to it. It was intriguing for Lacey to have this information about their past that Victor didn't remember and I kept wondering when it would come out. Victor was new to faith as he found God in AA and prayed and tried to figure out what God wanted him to do. Lacey didn't believe in God because she wanted to run her own life and not depend on anyone. There were some funny moments and some sweet romantic ones, some action and twists. I loved that she had such wise friends who were there for her and gave her the best advice. I wondered as I was reading this if there was a story about one of her friends and I see there is! So this looked like a stand-alone and worked great as one but there is a related book I can't wait to read! This was my first Kara Isaac book but definitely not my last! I highly recommend it!
I received a free kindle copy of this book from JustRead Tours. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
