This isn’t your average romance. It begins with me in a wedding dress, just not at an altar … I never expected to be a runaway bride. I also never thought I’d end up on my ex’s doorstep to flee from said wedding. Now that I’m here, it’s easy to find the key in an old boot by the door and let myself inside. It’s not breaking and entering if I have a key, right? It’s safe to say that Luke Marshall didn’t expect to find me on his couch in my wedding dress, my veil over my face in tears. He has no choice but to listen to my panic-induced plea for salvation. It’s only a matter of time before the tabloids get wind of my disappearing act, and my life is over. Luke takes pity on me and says I can stay… on one condition. I can’t sing for my supper—I have to earn it. I have to work in the barn alongside him, up to my elbows in horse manure. Oh—and because there’s only one bed, I get the couch. This works … in theory. However, when sparks start flying, and the small-town farrier asks me to stay, I’ll have to decide between my life as a pop star or a second chance with my first love. 4 Heart Review by Ashley The Marshall family is back and just as wonderfully ridiculous as ever! From their text chains and dinners to the way they embraced Laina after the mess she was trying to dig herself out of, it felt like reading a slice of home. I admired Laina for what she did. It took guts and knowing what you would and wouldn't stand for. Seeing her find her voice and path after years of being used for what others could gain from her, she was taking her life back. It just so happened that the first step brought her to her first love, Luke. Talk about a total swoon fest. That man (and he is all man) was as delighted as he was shocked to see his long lost love again. And this time he wasn't going to let her go. It would take some work and some serious wooing but he was up for the task. Especially when both of their fears had them wanting to tuck tail. From start to finish, Lania and Luke's friends to lovers, second chance romance was just plain fun to read. It was witty and sarcastic. Sexy and heartfelt. I couldn't get enough. And that ending, deserves a chef's kiss with the perfection of it.
