If a man tells you he’s no good for you, best heed the warning. I learned the hard way. I had Jake Basson’s baby. He left to chase his dream. Now he’s back, demanding a second chance, but why should I give him anything after four years of nothing? No correspondence, no news. I finally have my life back on track. Jake has never been uncomplicated. He never follows the rules. I should’ve known he’d play dirty. He caught me once. I’m not going to let him catch me twice.
(Disclosure: This story contains cheating. HEA guaranteed.)

Review
Disclaimer: I received an Advance Reader Copy at no cost from the publisher/author. All opinions in my review are my own.
I was so taken with this story. My favorite types of books are ones that are full of emotion. This book certainly speaks to your heart.
The characters in this book are absolutely flawed and beautiful and real. So very real. I love books that show the darker side of characters and we get that in this book. We see the ugly parts that most people try to hide from everyone else. These characters are raw and they will get under your skin so that you will remember them long after you have finished the book.
This story does contain cheating. This isn't really a spoiler since the author included that fact in the blurb. A lot of people won't touch a book that contains cheating but I don't really mind it as long as it adds to the story. If it has no purpose in the story then I don't care for it. This story does a nice job of adding that into the story. I don't want to spoil anything, but I thought that it was well written.
Even though circumstances and choices that are made throw both Kristi and Jake into a tailspin, it is evident that they are meant to be together. They have to work past a lot in this story. Their path certainly is not an easy one to tread.
Overall, this is a stellar story about second chances, growing up, and redemption. I fell into this story headfirst and I can't stop thinking about it now. This book will take you on such an intense ride of emotions. If you are a fan of second chance romances then you're sure to adore this one! I can't wait to read more from this author!
