Publisher Description
An unexpected rescue rekindles an old romance between a single dad widower and a woman caught in a small town scandal that made her flee the one place where she belongs. Can a second chance at first love end in a happily ever after?
Luke Luview has given up on love. Finally ready to let go of his late wife’s clothes, the grieving small-town police officer and single dad thinks he’s hearing things when he opens the charity box door. Who knocks from the inside of a donation bin?
The raccoon he assumes is in there turns out to be way prettier – and very familiar. Rescuing the first girl he ever kissed means life has dealt him a wild card with Kylie Hood, his late wife’s best friend who left town suddenly fifteen years ago under a cloud of scandal.
Kylie Hood will never depend on a man again. Dumped by her boyfriend and fired by his parents from her children’s programming job at their ski resort in rural Maine, she hits rock bottom while throwing out her ex’s clothes — along with her phone and car keys.
Being rescued by Luke Luview, of all people, is a gift and a curse. The boy she once loved is now all grown up, everything her ex wasn’t – and absolutely off limits.
Accepting his offer to be his temporary nanny while she job searches in New York City, Kylie falls hard for his sweet daughter, and even harder for Luke. A clause in her employment contract means they can’t fraternize, but fate has other plans, and forbidden fruit is twice as sweet.
As the town she reluctantly left years ago accepts her more and more, and Luke makes it clear he wants ta second chance with her in their close-knit community, Kylie has to decide: an exciting new career in Manhattan on her own, or an instant family and a sense of belonging in her small hometown?
And as Luke wrestles with the pain of being left behind by his wife’s accidental death, he has to balance his responsibilities to his daughter with his own needs. Needs he’s ignored for far too long.
Needs only Kylie can meet.
But not if she leaves.
Can Luke and Kylie rekindle their first love and find a new future together in a place where love conquers all?
If you’re looking for a fun read about first kisses and second chances, featuring a hot single-dad police officer and his accidental nanny, set in a small town in New England, with a golden retriever named Jester, a heroine whose dream in life is to run a fairy camp, and a hero who wants to build a place where everyone belongs–then this is your book.
Grab a cup of coffee or tea, and maybe some edible glitter, and get your happy meter ready as you read the second book in the Love You, Maine, series–where love isn’t just a feeling… it’s a way of life.

Ticked all my boxes
I’m loving this series and I was excited to read Luke Luview and Kylie Hood’s second chance love story and their journey was everything I expected and so much more.
Luke and Kylie have history but he is still reeling and trying to deal with the tragic death of his wife in an accident. He needs help and he needs to convince Kylie to take a chance with him and his daughter rather than the job offer she has in another State. My heart broke for Luke and his daughter but sometimes second chances come along for a reason and it seems fate has put Kylie and Luke back together for a reason……
Thus book has all the feels, it’s emotional yet entertaining, it’s witty yet sad and it had me laughing as well as crying throughout this wonderful read. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
Outstanding
I could not wait to read Love You again, the second book in the latest series from Julia Kent. As with other books I have read by this author it was well written, entertaining and with wonderful characters whose story you cannot help but quickly become invested in.
Their meet cute was outrageous and had me laughing so much my husband thought I was cray. Luke Luview and Kylie Hood’s second chance at love story that ticked all the boxes for me. They have history but Luke is still trying to deal with the tragic death of his wife in an accident.
Teddy Hamilton and Erin Mallon did a wonderful job with this story and brought the characters and story to life for me. One of the things that I loved was Luke’s family and the quirky characters that make up the population of this small town of Luview "Love You", Maine. There were moments where I was moved to tears as Luke struggled with his emotions. Can Luke convince Kylie to take a chance with him and his gorgeous daughter or will she take the job offer in New York?
An entertaining, witty, emotional story that ticked all the boxes for me.
