A good second chance story with these two being good friends going towards possible more but things go wrong only for them to come back together when a fire breaks out and he comes to the rescue as a firefighter. I volunteered to read this book for my opinion

You can’t have the sweet without the bitter. I thought JH Croix did a great job with this book. Mae is back in Alaska and coincidentally (not) so is Rowan, her friend and almost boyfriend back in college. She ghosted him as he’s all tangled up in the worst night of her life. Mae deals with that night by not dealing with it. Though I liked how successful she was in her life beyond that one night. Rowan is clueless as to why Mae stopped talking to him, ghosted him in college and now actively avoids him. He’s sweet, quiet and charming. Recommend. Received from Bad Boy Update.

This swoon worthy read has secrets, a traumatic event, love, forgiveness, understanding and so much more. Rowan and Mae went to college together in North Carolina. They became best friends but developed feelings for each other. They went on a few dates but then something happened to Mae which caused her to cut Rowan out of her life. Mae is back in her hometown in Alaska because her grandmother got sick and died. Their story was fantastic and had me devouring the pages. I truly enjoyed this book and loved the HEA ending. I am looking forward to the next book in the series.
