A Book Review

Do you believe in second chance romance? If yes, then this is a book for you. It is a cute and sweet love story with happily ever after and was a super-fast read. The story telling and writing style of the author is commendable and the plot is quite unique.  

Colt Buchanan is an adventure journalist and on his latest assignment in Middle East, which does not go very well leads to a concussion, broken leg and some memory loss after almost seven months of captivity with his interview subject dead. After this incident he comes back to Zelda Maliszewski who is an owner of Phlox Beauty (a successful cosmetics business) and daughter of a Hollywood actress. They broke up 4 years back due to some miscommunication but he does not remember it due to the memory loss. Although Zelda realizes that he is not her responsibility any more but she still cares and cannot let him go. She understands that he needs care which either she or her grandfather will be able to provide. In the process of taking care of him the feeling which she had for him start to resurface and she is unable to suppress them anymore but he still needs to convince her that she can trust him and now he will always be by her side.  

After facing a life changing circumstances Colt feels that he understands Zee in a better way and takes her more seriously. He realizes that life is very unpredictable. When we are young and naïve, we do not take things as seriously we must. Isn't this applicable to all of us? 

This was my first book by the author and all in all it was a good read and I will definitely recommend this book.  

Synopsis

When an assignment in the Middle East goes bad, adventure journalist Colt Buchanan comes home to New York and the love of his life.

The only problem? She says they broke up four years ago.

The daughter of an actress, Zee Maliszewski grew up on movie sets and in boarding schools. As an adult, she's built a life away from all that—and a successful cosmetics business with her best friend—in New York City. Men? They've come and gone. Mostly gone. She's sworn off the male species anyway, after her latest boyfriend tampers with her company's new product and nearly destroys everything she and her business partner have spent years working for. Now Zee wants a home of her own and she's done waiting for Prince Charming to show up and share it with her.

Adventure journalist Colt Buchanan grabbed his own bootstraps and yanked hard—leaving the poverty of his rural hometown behind for a scholarship to a fancy east coast college and then the bright lights of the big city. But when an assignment in the Middle East leaves his interview subject dead and Colt's memory riddled with holes you can drive a bus through, he comes back to the only place that's ever felt like home—the Manhattan apartment of a pretty Hollywood princess he never had any business wanting.
