Book Description:
Eight years ago, Cole Van Buren left me at the altar without a single explanation. My heart’s been at a standstill ever since, the anger keeping me from moving on. Keeping me from seeing the man who’s been right in front of me all this time…
Andrew’s been the friend I needed, the one constant through the hardest times of my life. But one night, the lines blur and we’re tipped into something more. Just when I’m ready to explore what we could be…
My ex comes back.
Cole says he didn’t come to get me back, but I should know better. The answers he dangles overhead are the ones I need to finally let go.
Except there’s no such thing as closure, only a past that wants to pull you backward.

Our Review:
Reviewed by Donna ~ 4 stars
***ARC received for an honest review***
“I never needed you to be
perfect. I just needed you to stay.”
Another new to me author and another corker of a read. This
book had everything I love in a book, great dialogue, fantastic character
connection and buckets of emotion. Veronica Larsen had me in tears in parts and
laughing in others all the while delivering a memorable second chance romance.
“Why do you want it to be easier
to hate me?”
“Because, Cole, it’s so fucking
hard to love you.”
Mila was left stranded on what should have been the happiest
day of her life, jilted at the altar, humiliated, devastated and utterly heart
broken. Many people were happy, many had predicted they wouldn’t last, but Mila
didn’t. The love she had for Cole Van Buren transcended time. Chalk and cheese,
opposites attract but what they had was perfect…perfect for them.
“But if you really knew Mila, you
would know she’s not the kind of woman you claim. She’s the kind of woman who
claims you.”
Eight years on and Mila is now a successful business woman
who has thrown herself into her career proving many people wrong. The scars of
her past are worn on her sleeve, literally and the man that broke her heart
many years ago still has a stronghold…on her heart, in her head and all her
emotions. Unable to love, unable to forget, Mila is stuck in the past and when
the present gives her an opportunity to move on, the past comes back to haunt
her.
“I think I’ll die missing you,
might as well die loving you.”
To be honest, I wouldn’t class this as a love triangle, one
never really begins before the past comes back. Andrew was a fantastic best
friend and despite how close he and Mila are, they could never really be
anything else. The relationship that these two had was extremely close and
neither really wanted to risk it, deep down.
“…I think meeting you was just
what I needed at that exact time in my life. I thought you’d be a one-night
stand but…eight years later and we’ve fucked everyone in Manhattan but each
other.”
Cole Van Buren was the typical bad boy with his tattoos, and
penchant for trouble and yet all was covered up by his rich parents. One thing
though that was never in doubt was the love that he had for Mila. Mila made him
want to be a better person, Mila completed him and yet he didn’t show for what
should have been the happiest day of his life.
“I was just a stupid little girl
caught up in a cliché with the tattooed bad boy.”
When the whys come out, I must admit it was all a little
anti-climactic and a little hard to swallow seeing as it took him eight years
to come back on the scene. While what he has been up to in those eight years is
touched upon and I could understand the reasons why it just didn’t sit right.
However, artists are known to be broody and I guess it took him a while to work
through his issues. For a man that seemingly had it all, his self-confidence is
considerably lacking and the faith he has in himself is not great. To see a man
that once had everything it was humbling to see the changes.
“We all have an endless capacity
for the truth, until the moment we’re lied to and the truth becomes tainted.
From there, that endless capacity shrinks down to a single shot.”
I loved the art exhibit and the authors story telling when
it came to this part was utterly brilliant. I could picture the journey, I felt
all the emotion and the tears were plentiful. Another great second chance
romance and this is definitely an author I will be keeping on my radar.
“You know, Cole, you’re not the
monster you think you are.”
