Shattered, betrayed, and divorced, Bailey James has been burned by the only man she’s ever loved. Bailey wants nothing more than to spend her summer off from teaching alone reading in her oversized pajamas and eating chocolate. Love is nowhere on her radar, until her best friend drags her out to celebrate her new bachelorette status. Humiliated, destroyed, and broken. Andrew Cooper is in search of something real. He's tired of living with a fake woman and her demands. However, his ex-wife won't let go and take the hint that he can no longer love a manipulative, cheating woman. Running into old college crush, Bailey James, has Andrew believing that he's finally found something real--something worth fighting for. Andrew needs to convince Bailey that they can be together and love happily ever after and break free from their broken pasts. But will his jealous ex-wife and Bailey's fear of revealing her secret ruin their chance for becoming each other’s real?

Review

*ARC provide by the author in exchange of an honest review*

I'll give this book 4 of 5 minibooks!

Hello guys, first so far I have to say that i’m not sure how to do this review, why? Because I loved and I hated the book the moment I read it xD.

The story: it is a cute, fun, a Little hot and a different story. I mean, isn’t the typical love story when she or he is so damaged and blah blah blah… It is kind of fresh. Neither of them are running from a tragedy or a past. But yeah, a single thing bothers me, the story in some point became soooo mmm sweet, I don’t know how to put that into words. I was like waiting for a real fight or something but it really didn’t happen.

The characters: OMG the main female character —Bailey— is one of the FEW female characters that I didn’t hate at all! She is LOVELY but a little insecure at the beginning —we all are anyway— and she is not a freaking crazy BITCH that runs away from EVERYTHING. She is REAL, you know, Bailey is a good woman with a normal life, She meets a boy and they fall in love and she takes the risk! She’s not crying all the time or feeling like shit I think this is one of the things that I love the most.

Andrew is a really cute boy. He’s real charming. That’s my problem. He loves Bailey, but the thing is… he is TOO FUCKING PERFECT. I mean, I was expecting too much drama, he being a motherfucker or something. But I like him because he is different and the most important thing for me he really trusts Bailey, something that some authors need to learn writing or putting onto their books… STOP WITH POSSESIVE MEN PLEASE!

Mmm Jessica… she is the evil character, as I said before, she is not really mean, you know, I would have liked to see her more involved in the story, but is kind of cool to read a different book where everything is normal, not so perfect but not so awful.

Well… about the other characters I have Little to say, better read it for yourselves! Ella belong to my favorite ones, I’m really waiting for a book of hers. This is the first bff I dont hate at all.

There is one thing I would change if I had the chance, I would remove the erotic scenes, they are not bad written but I don’t think it goes along well with the storyline. And oh, I was thinking that I would like to add a little more drama, but then I realized that if it had more drama, It wouldn’t be the same.

Anyway, I like the book, I don’t know if I say this is a MUST READ, but it was pretty ok. The story is something relaxing, there’s not a fight every five seconds, the characters despite they are a Little too much —too sweet, too cool, too lovely, too nice— I like them. If you want to read something a Little different, with nice characters, and take your mind away of those books filled with sadness and tragedy… This is the book for you...

And of course I have to say this, THANKS Mallory for wrote it, I would read it again and again.
