Amelia and Beckett were high school sweethearts, but tragedy separated them and the years have kept them apart. Given another chance, they take the opportunity to see if their feelings are still there.

For a story that begins with the bride being left at the alter and her ex-boyfriend punching the groom, Dirty Ginger is surprisingly drama free. I enjoy a story that takes its time, letting us get to know the characters and enjoy their changing relationship. And I really appreciate a hero who can own up to his issues and who is willing to seek out help ... even if occasionally he falls into old habits. 

Kennedy delivers a satisfying, slow burn second-chance love story. Not having read the rest of the series, I can't make a comparison but I can say that it kept me happily turning pages to the very end. 

(While I'm sure I would have loved getting to know Amelia's sisters, Dirty Ginger can easily stand on its own.)
