Synopsis:
A love story will be rewritten in this heartfelt romance from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst. Ophelia Bishop was a lovestruck teenage girl when she and Kyle Kimpton chased their dreams to Hollywood. Kyle’s dreams came true. Ophelia’s did not. When Kyle chose his career over their relationship, Ophelia returned home to rural New York to run the family’s B & B—wiser, and more guarded against foolish fantasies. Now Kyle has come crashing back into her life, and all her defenses are down. Kyle can’t think of a better place to write his latest screenplay than his hometown. After all, that was where he met the heart of his inspiration—his first love. He knows the damage he’s caused Ophelia, and he wants a chance to mend their relationship. If anyone can prove to Ophelia that happy ever afters aren’t only for the movies, it should be him. As much as Ophelia’s changed, she still has feelings for Kyle. But her heart has been broken before, and she knows that Kyle could run back to Hollywood at any time. She gave up her dreams once, but maybe she can dare to change her own love story…one last time.Add the book to Goodreads
Review:
Rating: 3.5 out of 5 stars
If this book had come into my life any other time I would have liked it more. This is the 20th second chance book I read in a month and I got tired of the genre. I didn't like the 8-ish year-long separation and Kyle was a so-so character for me. He redeemed himself somewhat and I couldn't exactly fault him for his behavior in the past because he was young and immature. As many of you wanna know, I will have to add that neither was celibate during their separation and I was happy that Ophelia wasn't pinning for him. Kyle could have been better since I felt like he didn't really want Ophelia back and he only returned because he found out that their divorce wasn't valid and his lack of inspiration. Ophelia was much better and more likable. I could relate on some level with her.
The first ending Kyle gave to his story was so bad and it said a lot about his character. He expected everything to be easy and effortless. I was glad that no one liked it in the book and it wasn't just me. When Kyle wrote his book we got the chance to see him and Ophelia as they were ten years ago and it was a creative way to give us a flashback, so the author got points for that.
I liked Patrick a lot. He was a bad father, but he realized his mistakes eventually and he tried to become a better person. I loved the bond he had with Charlie and in one point I even teared up and I was on a full bus people! Who doesn't love a good redeeming story? Harper's book is next and I can't wait for it! I liked her a lot in this book and she seemed more interesting than Ophelia. I have high hopes for her book.
This book gave me mixed feelings and that's why it gets a 3.5 star rating. I liked some parts a lot and others not so much. The pace was good and the characters had some development. With a little hesitation, I would recommend the book.
