But spending time together again makes those old feelings come rushing back, and it’s possible that finally getting everything out in the open will change everything. So when Chani is asked to interview Gabe again – now a star who has lost his shine after a divorce and a few trips to rehab – she’s hoping to get some closure and move past it once and for all. That article changed the trajectory of her career, and the whispers about that weekend have not quieted in the years since. Ten years later, Chani would like to believe that she’s both older and wiser. And the time they spent together that weekend seemed to confirm that… until it didn’t. Tasked with writing an article that would make Gabe look good, Chani was surprised to discover that they seemed to have a connection that had nothing to do with the article she was writing. As a 26-year-old, she was starstruck and smitten to meet sexy actor Gabe. The story follows Chani, a journalist who couldn’t have predicted the countless ways that one interview would change her life. And one of the best things – beyond the obvious zap of chemistry – is that the story is told in such a way that I was completely and utterly invested in seeing how things played out in the past AND the present. There’s really no way to tell until the whole story is told. These two fell hard and fast over the course of a single weekend, and they’ve had ten years apart to let those feelings simmer, fester, or grow. If you’re someone who enjoys puzzling out a mysterious hero, then you’re going to love this one – piecing together all of the little breadcrumbs that show the depth of his feelings and just how much he thought of her in their time apart. We see all of the ways they messed things up in the past, as well as all of the ways they are PERFECT for each other in the present.

Told in flashbacks, present day, and snippets of articles that fill in the gaps, we see how these characters have changed and grown over the last ten years.

I was hesitant to pick this up because of the couple’s complicated past, but that all faded into the background as I became immersed in this truly unique love story. As a general rule, I HATE second chance romances… but I LOVED this.
