This is another new to me author, but there is a big back catalogue for me to explore, I've really enjoyed this story.
London left Wren Cove, and and didn't look back, a career at the New York City Ballet was her dream and she was determined to get it.
But now she's forced to return home, after her dancing career ends forever.
She tried everything to keep her career, but in the end, broke, and broken, she has to return to living with her parents back in Wren Cove.
She is not looking forward to the inevitable gossip, and most importantly, running into Penn Kade. The boy she left behind, although he's not a boy any longer. Penn grew up, he's running his late father’s fishing company. He’s reliable, successful, and even more handsome than she remembered.
When they finally cross paths, he's not particularly thrilled to see her, and she doesn't really enjoy seeing the boy who she's still in love with dating Cat - her arch enemy from school.
When the only job available is working for Penn, they react like spitting cobra's.
When they finally they put aside their differences and try to work out what they mean to each other, Cat drops a bombshell that could end their future.
Ok that's basically what I'll say about the storyline, now to what I liked:
I liked that the second chance for London and Penn didn't just happen easy.
That London felt so uneasy and unsure of where she stood now. It's not easy having to return home, defeated and with no idea what to do next. (I know I have been there a few times).
Penn was quite bitter, he really did treat London badly at the beginning, and I loved that London had a few friends to rely on.
Trev was a favorite, and Josie was a good bff and had London's back whenever needed.
One of my favorite paragraphs was when London's mother was talking to her in her bedroom. Oh the times I remember having a conversation like that!
The story was well paced, I enjoyed getting to know the characters, and I think the next book will be just as intriguing, which will be about Josie and Alec.
What I didn't like...
There wasn't much really that I didn't like. And it was hard to try and find one to write down. So I'm going to say, I thought Penn should have been more assertive and fought harder for London to understand the situation... But then again he was running to his default character trait, and he eventually got his girl.
