Publisher Description
A second chance at love, small-town romance that’s all sweet with just a hint of heat from the “queen of sweet romance” (Falon Ballard) Sophie Sullivan.
Jillian Keller took the long route to her best life, but is now happily settled in her hometown of Smile, raising her little girl alone while helping her brother run Get Lost Lodge. A lover of structure and routine, she doesn’t need anyone disrupting her carefully curated life.
After chasing and achieving his culinary dreams, Levi Bright realizes he’s still missing something he can’t find in a big city. Returning home to Smile, he intends to build a different future for himself, including reconnecting with family and friends, and creating elevated comfort food for a town he loves.
When Levi and Jilly run into each other, past feelings that never had a chance to bloom flare between them… though she’s been hurt before, and falling for her older brother’s best friend seems like a recipe for drama. But sometimes, a second chance at love leads you right where you’re meant to be.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Sullivan's unconvincing second Rock Bottom Love romance (after Love, Naturally) doesn't do enough to sell the central love story. Divorced single mother Jillian "Jilly" Keller is finally finding solid ground after returning to her hometown of Smile, Mich., to work with her brothers as the event planner at their Get Lost Lodge. Then her childhood crush, Levi Bright, comes back home to help his father recover from gallbladder surgery and hopefully start a food truck. The last time these two saw each other, just before Levi left for culinary school at 17, was when their aborted first kiss ended in disaster and injury. When they meet again, Levi is determined to get closer to Jilly regardless of what her older brothers, his lifelong best friends, might think. But Jilly is afraid to trust any man again after her marriage ended with her ex embezzling money from his company and their mutual friends. The obstacles to their relationship feel somewhat contrived, but they're overcome quickly once Jilly agrees to date. Unfortunately, it's difficult to see what, if anything, connects these two beyond intense mutual attraction— their relationship remains very surface-level throughout. Readers will struggle to care about seeing these two reach their happy ending.
Customer Reviews
A second chance with the one you never got a chance with
I suppose this book could be read as a standalone, but I don’t recommend it. It’s so much better already knowing about the Keller family and the sweet, quirky town that surrounds them. I adored Jillian and Ollie. I had completely fallen in love with them in the first book, and absolutely adored seeing them find the right Forever this time. This story is a bit of a second chance romance, but not in the classic sense of the theme. This was a second chance with the one you never got a chance with the first time around. Levi was pure hero candy. He wasn’t perfect, but he was the missing piece in Jillian and Ollie’s family. I loved watching Levi and Jilly rediscover their feelings from so long ago, and also seeing them grow and reconcile with their pasts. Now that another Keller sibling has fallen, I can’t wait to see what the author has in store for the last one.
I received a complimentary advance copy of this book through NetGalley.
