Elizabeth Seckman is a talented writer. Her characters are fully-developed and as three-dimensional as real-life people. Her descriptions are marvelous, and I loved the humor in the first few pages when Jenna’s car breaks down and her and her son, Tanner, have to walk to their small town’s gas station—in the rain—with groceries in each hand. I know exactly what that’s like. The realism, humor, and relatable characters made it that much easier to sink into this story. The relationship between mother and son is also fun.

At the gas station is a mysterious Porsche, which Tanner drools over, and Jenna runs into the driver, a tall, sexy man named Tres. And what’s better than that? The two of them have history. The kind of history that makes the heart thump.

Needing money to fix her car, Jenna takes a lot of odd jobs. One of them is to take pictures of a man from the governor’s office and that guy is...you’ve guessed it. From there the story only gets more interesting. I enjoyed waiting to find out what exactly happened between Jenna and Tres. And learning how everyone played a role in what happened. There are secrets nearly oozing off the pages of this book.

If you like romances that revolve around the mysterious pasts of the characters, this one is for you!
