BOOK SYNOPSIS:
She’d left him at the altar, but her heart was always his…
After more than ten years away, Australian soap opera star Ellie Hughes returns to the small town of Hope Junction, determined to fly under the radar while caring for her injured godmother, Matilda.
But word spreads fast in the tight-knit community. It isn’t long before the people of Hope Junction are gossiping about the real reason for Ellie’s visit and why she broke the heart of golden boy Flynn Quartermaine all those years ago.
Soon Ellie and Flynn are thrown back together, forced to deal with the unresolved emotions between them. Because Ellie is not the only one with secrets. Flynn has his own demons to battle, and Matilda is hiding something from her much-loved goddaughter.
When all is uncovered, can the ill-fated lovers overcome the wounds of their past? Or is Flynn destined to be jilted again?
REVIEW:
This is a re-release from just a couple of years ago. Set in Australia this is a sweet second chance at love romance. While part of me expected not to like Ellie at first because she is a star and I thought she would come across as a spoiled Hollywood type that is not true and I enjoyed her. Flynn is also a great character. Even though he is the typical romance hero he also has a heart of gold and really just wants to understand what happened between them that left him at the alter.
There is so much more to this story then the romance even though that is the heart of the story. Johns’ takes us into a world that deals with some darkness in life that many people have to deal with. And I enjoyed the relationships between Ellie and Matilda as well.
I enjoy Johns’ stories very much and this is no exception. I enjoyed the characters very much and enjoyed the visit to Hope Springs. I can’t wait for the next by the author.
