I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is book 4 in the Haven’s Bay series and it features Joe and Thea. They’ve know each other since they were little. Together in high school, her father forbade them to be together. They haven’t seen each other in years. When they do finally meet up, it’s as if they were never apart. This story is my favorite in the series. They have a history and they genuinely were in love in high school. It’s beautiful to watch them reconnect after so long and watch those feelings resurface.

4.5 Joe and Thea were a teenaged couple that didn’t work out (her father). They had and have chemistry and they get along great, as is evident the minute they are back together it’s immediately back on. My only thing was that Joe has a kid with a one night stand, totally could have done with out that plot point. Received from Bad Boy Update.
