Kim's Review
4 Stars!!
Caliana (Cali) Crawford was
unhappy in her mediocre job, so with the inheritance left by her aunt she quits
her job, taking a long over due break.
Cali decided to go to the one place she loves the most, the cabin by the
lake. While at her cabin, she runs into Owen, the man who owns the cabin next
door. Owen has wanted Cali for a long
time but never had the chance to show her.
Now that she is back in his life, Owen isn’t about to let her slip
through his fingers again. Just when
things are looking up for both of them, people from their past interrupt them,
threating their budding relationship.
Will the past rip them apart or will they find their salvation in each
other?
I was gifted this book in
exchange for an honest review.
Cali is a woman who is use
to being on her own. Growing up an only
child has made her very independent but lonely at the same time. She was brave in taking her future into her
own hands and quitting the steady job she had.
Not many people can do that. Of
course having a nice inheritance makes it easier for her to do. She changes a lot throughout the book as
reconnecting with Owen gives her the freedom to be herself. Owen was the one guy she always knew she
could trust so it came easy for her even after finding her last boyfriend
cheating on her. With everything that
happens to Owen and her throughout the book she remains strong but leans on
Owen when she needs support.
Owen Mathews is use to
having women want him for his money.
Being a self made man he is proud of who he is and what he has
accomplished. After being betrayed by
his ex-girlfriend and brother, Owen has decided to take a break from dating and
focus on his work. Having Cali walk back
into his life reminds him of what he has always wanted in a woman. None of the women he’s ever dated compares to
her. He finally takes matters into his
own hands and goes for what he wants, Cali.
He knows she is pure of heart and won’t take advantage of him so this
makes it easy to dive right in. When bad
things start to happen to Cali his protective instincts kick and he takes
charge. The fact that she lets him only makes
him believe that they were always meant to be together.
This is the debut novel for
Michelle Dare and she nailed it. This
second chance love story had me hook from the beginning. Owen is one character you’ll never forget. He’s alpha male, taking charge but knows when
to take a step back and gives Cali the space she needs. Cali proves to be no push over either, by
going after what she wants and not folding when things get tough. The way these two connect left me fanning
myself. The steamy romance scenes are
not ones you’ll soon forget. This is
truly an intriguing suspenseful romance story you won’t be able to put down.
