Review

4 stars

This is such a sweet little read! A super-short second-chance romance that manages to bring the feels and had me falling in love.

It’s book #5 in the Love Is… series, but can absolutely be read as a standalone. We do see characters from previous books, but not in a spoilery way, in a way that makes me want to read their stories and get to know them better. And there’s a hint for a future book in the series, that I’m also excited to read. I’m so glad I picked this one up!

Macy has been working in Europe for the last few years, travelling around from place to place, and now she’s ready to return home to the US and finally put down some roots. Her final hurrah before flying home is a few days in Paris, but an infestation of bed bugs finds her without a hotel in the middle of Paris fashion week with nowhere to stay.

And then she literally crashes into Beckett, her boyfriend from College, and the guy she’s never been able to get over. He’s living in France now and is in town temporarily writing a novel, and he offers her a place to stay, with a bit of sightseeing on the side. It’s a recipe for disaster, but all out of options and drawn to Beckett like she’s always been, Macy accepts.

When the relationship doesn’t work because of the people in it, that’s one thing. When it doesn’t work because it’s just not the right time, it leaves the door open for a ton of what-ifs. I’ve never been able to stop thinking about them.

Oh, I love these two together! You can see that there is still a lot of emotion between them, and Macy drags Beckett away from his laptop to explore the wonders of Paris. They laugh, tease and have fun, and while reconnecting, all of those feelings between them come roaring to the surface.

“I never stopped loving you,” he whispers.
The words make me feel like I’m flying. “I never stopped loving you,” I whisper back.
He looks up at me. “Then what the hell are we doing?”

It’s sweet, flirty, romantic, and I loved how honest these two are with each other. Everything between them is real and raw (and hot!), and I was happily whisked away with them as they found their way back to each other.

“We walked away from this once, Mace. I don’t want to do that again.”

It’s only 77 pages, but the author managed to make me feel so much for these characters and their story, and I just loved this one!

4 dreamy stars.
