BLURB

If a man tells you he’s no good for you, best heed the warning. I learned the hard way. I had Jake Basson’s baby. He left to chase his dream. Now he’s back, demanding a second chance, but why should I give him anything after four years of nothing? No correspondence, no news. I finally have my life back on track. Jake has never been uncomplicated. He never follows the rules. I should’ve known he’d play dirty. He caught me once. I’m not going to let him catch me twice.

My Review

My Rating: 3 stars

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. This book comes with a warning about cheating and while normally that is a hard no for me, the cheating in this book didn't bug me. Jake and Kristi are done with school and before they start their new lives they end up hooking up. Kristi becomes pregnant and since she is from a poor family the two decide to marry so she can get his insurance. He goes away and then we start part 2 four years later. Kristi writes him a letter saying she wants a divorce and Jake comes back. He realizes he wants Kristi and he wants to be a part of his son's life. I felt this book had a lot of extra drama that wasn't needed, but I was proud of how Kristi responded to a couple of things that happened with Jake. This is a second chance romance with a guaranteed hea. There were some sexy scenes that were well written and I liked that the author made both characters human. Neither character was perfect and in the second half they both acknowledged that fact. If you are okay with non perfect people, drama, cheating, and a second chance with a hea this is the book for you.
