Thank you to Netgalley and Bold Strokes Books for a copy of this book.
Brooks Boseman escaped her life in New Orleans years ago; now she's heading back for her brother, Curtis' engagement party. The Problem? Curtis' fiancée is none other than Fallon Goodwin, Brooks' secret love from her youth.
As they reunite can they deny the old feelings that resurface? Brooks has to deal with that on top of her father's Alzheimer’s diagnoses and the family business' troubles.
This sounded like a great concept; however I just couldn't find myself caring about the characters, so couldn't really enjoy it. I was disappointed as I have previously enjoyed Vali's work.
