Publisher Description
USA TODAY BESTSELLER • Over the course of one wild road trip, feuding childhood sweethearts get a second chance at love in this charming rom-com—a standalone novel from the author of Blurred Lines and Good Girl.
When Lucy Hawkins receives a job offer in San Francisco, she can’t wait to spread her wings and leave her small Virginia hometown behind. Her close-knit family supports her as best they can, by handing over the keys to a station wagon that’s seen better days. The catch? The cross-country trip comes with a traveling companion: her older brother’s best friend, aka the guy who took Lucy’s virginity hours before breaking her heart.
After spending the past four years and every last dime caring for his sick father, Reece Sullivan will do just about anything to break free of the painful memories—even if it means a two-week road trip with the one girl who’s ever made it past his carefully guarded exterior. But after long days of bickering in the car turn into steamy nights in secluded motel rooms, Reece learns that, when it comes to Lucy, their story is far from over. And this time, they just might have a shot at a happy ending.

Customer Reviews
Sweet second chance romance
Lauren Layne writes some of the sweetest romance stories. I adore the Love Unexpectedly series and while I still think I liked the last two better, I still really enjoyed this one. Love Story was a relatively quick read and contained a couple of my favorite romance tropes—Second chance romance and older brother’s best friend.
I enjoyed Lucy and Reeve’s interaction, even though he could be a bit of a dick at times. Their car ride was filled with banter and some HOT sexual tension.
All in all, Love Story was a semi-angsty, sweet, fun, and sexy read—perfect for those looking for a second chance romance.
LOVE STORY -So achingly familiar
I am a Hopeful Romantic. I’ve been loved, deeply & madly for nearly 40 years, by my High School Best Friend/Husband. I’ve been in Love my whole life.
I recognized and remembered the love of a boy when I was 8, knew it when I was 18, and still feel it at 57.
This story resonates with everyone who’s heart ached from unrequited love, or burst because the love received was more than my heart could hold.
Love Story is like a time machine for probably more than just me.
I loved the singular commentary that had tears of laughter mixing with tears from the physical ache in my heart for this couple. Destiny brings many souls together, sometimes tears them apart. But, the ‘endgame’ will always be True Honest Love.
May the LOVE be with you🖖🏼❤️
Love Story . . . Lives up to it's name
Lauren never lets us down. This is another wonderful story with great characters. The way she told Reese and Lucy's story and included Craig and Brandi and their parents was very much worth the read. A must for you TBR list.
