Description de l’éditeur
A sizzling exes-to-lovers second- chance romance from the author of Morbidly Yours, the “sweet, spicy, and fabulous” (Abby Jimenez, #1 New York Times bestselling author) TikTok sensation
She doesn’t do second chances. But he's not done writing their song.
Cielo “Lo” Valdez doesn’t believe in second chances. Surviving cancer taught her life is too short to spend time on someone who wronged you. But Aidan O’Toole is determined to show her life is best spent together.
When the tough-as-nails Texan moved to Galway for medical school, she wasn’t looking for love. Aidan, a gorgeous, tattooed, mandolin-playing lawyer, slipped past her defenses. They each fell hard and fast. But when Aidan was given the opportunity of a lifetime—to move to London and record an album—he took it, breaking Lo's heart. Yet more than two years and a successful album later, every song he writes is still about her, the one he let get away. And every time Lo hears his voice on the radio singing about love, it’s an arrow straight to her soul.
Now they’re on a collision course as maid of honor and best man at a weekend-long Irish castle wedding. Are some mistakes worth forgiving? Can Aidan convince Lo their song wasn’t meant to end?
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
Fairbanks (Morbidly Yours) impresses with this emotional second chance romance. American Cielo "Lo" Valdez beat leukemia and is heading toward a bright future as a doctor, even as her overprotective mother worries over her every cold. She has no time for boys who break her heart, not even dashing Irish musician Aidan O'Toole, who chose his career over their relationship two years before the start of the book and is now a global superstar. Unfortunately, as Lo finishes med school in County Galway, Ireland, memories of Aidan lurk around every corner. When they're thrown back together at the wedding of mutual friends, Lo's resolve crumbles in the face of Aidan's charm and contrition, and they quickly fall back into old habits. ("Kissing her again after two years apart feels more vivid than I remembered, like a digital remaster of an old demo," Aidan thinks.) But when Lo is faced with the possible return of her cancer and Aidan's demanding label pushes for a fictional romance between him and an English actress, their rekindled relationship is subject to a high-pressure reckoning. Readers will easily root for brave Lo and devoted Aidan and cheer when they show up for each other. The Irish backdrop is lovely, and Lo and Aidan's quirky friend group is charming enough to support future books. Contemporary romance readers won't want to miss this.
Avis d’utilisateurs
Meh
3.5. I loved the first book, and I’d hoped this would be just as good, but it fell short for me. I just didn’t care for the main characters at all, and I got annoyed with the back and forth of Lo not giving Aiden the time of day.
