BLURB
From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.
The one that got away. Every girl has one, right?
Mine was a charming, British aristocrat who turned my world upside down one summer.
From the moment I first spotted Leo in the distance through my binoculars, I’d been captivated. I certainly never expected to find a man showering outside of the property across the bay in his birthday suit.
Then I noticed his housemate staring back at me with binoculars of his own—watching me watching Leo.
That made for an interesting conversation starter when I inevitably ran into them.
Turned out, the handsome Brits were only renting that house for the summer in my seaside town.
Leo and I formed an instant connection, even though we were technically opposites by all appearances. I taught him how to dig for clams, and he taught me that not all wealthy and powerful guys are pretentious.
Despite knowing he was totally wrong for me, I couldn’t seem to stay away.
It was a wild and crazy few months. And before I knew it, we’d fallen in love.
We both had one wish: more time together.
But Leo had obligations back home. He lived a life I’d never fit into. And I was going to law school. So, we decided to end it and never look back.
A part of me always felt like I’d let my soulmate walk away.
I believed our story was over.
Until five years later when he sent me a letter that shook me to my core.
I’d thought my world was turned upside down that first summer?
Well, I knew nothing yet.

The blurb to this story had me wanting to read it as soon as I could and that the author just so happened to be Penelope Ward didn’t hurt either.
To be honest, this book wasn’t my favorite from Penelope and I think it was my inability to connect with Felicity. The first part of the story I felt she made decisions too quickly and kept backtracking on them. But she did redeem herself a little bit by the end of the book. Maybe this was intentional as she had some maturing to do? So I guess it’s not surprising that Leo was hands down my favorite character in this story. I liked how he didn’t shy away from his feelings. And with all Felicity’s backwards and forwards he was happy to go at her pace and it was wonderful to read such a great character. What I am hoping for is that there will be a story for Sig one day as well. I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

This book held so many emotions that it left me feeling like I had been on a roller coaster, in a good way. I just loved Leo and Felicity. They were practically perfect. The banter throughout this book was amazing and funny. But I have to say that I NEED Sig’s story like yesterday!!
