Quote: "I still see the Caden who made my heart flutter all those years ago."
It's a sweet second-chance romance. You know how those go. It's like skipping to the last bit of a longer, traditional-style romance. They already know each other, have already become good friends or even a couple and already had the big quarrel. All that remains is the reconciliation. If they weren't going to be reconciled, kiss, make up, and marry each other the story wouldn't be called a sweet second-chance romance. It's the nuances of dialogue that show the characters' development (and recall the joy of making peace with our own loved ones) that make these stories worth reading. Well, in this book they work.
One of the pleasures of this sample of the sweet second-chance romance story is that, although she's a yuppie and he's a billionaire, neither of them has always been rich so they're still nice down-to-earth people, easy for the non-wealthy reader to relate to. Caden has been married to someone else, and is now widowed with adorable twins. Alesha has been working to help her sister cope with sickle cell anemia. Part of the plot involves their rescuing a dog, and part involves Alesha bonding with the twins.
Though it's about full-grown adults, or maybe because the characters are adults, the romance is so wholesome you could share this story with children. They might think there ought to have been more about the twins but they'll love it when Alesha gets a chance to be oh just awfully nice to the mean girl who almost ruined her romance with Caden, twice.
What's not to like? Though both Caden and Alesha say, on different pages, that they "give each other butterflies," all they have in mind is the cliche. What? No butterfly-printed trinkets from Zazzle?
