I had this book on my wish list and when the opportunity to review it came along, I jumped on the chance and I am so glad I did.  This is one of those books that will make you believe in fate and that first love can always get a second chance.Zach was escaping to Maine to get a break from writing songs.  He was also a guitarist and was not happy with how things were going for him.  So, he decided he wanted to write something different and needed a break from the real world.Violet was an author who was in a writing slump.  She had published her first book but couldn’t seem to get into the spirit for her second book.  Her deadline was fast approaching and she had spent the money she was given up front and knew she had no choice but to get this book done.  She knew she needed the quiet time so off to Maine she goes.Little did she know that when she got to the house she had rented, tall, dark, and tatted would also be there.  Seems there had been a misunderstanding when each of them rented the house and she found herself stuck with the one man that broke her heart.  Yes, her first love was standing right in front of her. But boy had he changed.  Since they graduated Yale, he was no longer the man she remembered.  I have to admit I didn’t see this coming at all.Zach had broken Violet’s heart years ago but never forgotten her.  As soon has she had confessed her love to him, he ran.  No matter how Violet tried to move on, she could never replace the love she had for Zach.  I love seeing how they were thrown together and forced to make the best of the situation.  You can feel that connection they still have after all those years.“I want a second chance.  I want two weeks with you, and after two weeks, if you want to walk away from me, you walk.  You go.  At the end of two weeks, it’all be up to you.  But I promise you, Violet, I will never walk away from you again.” – ZachThe closer they got to one another they realized those feelings never died.  I love seeing them open up to each other and realize that no matter how much they had changed, they were still the same.  When she finds out he read her book and found out it was about them, he didn’t know what to say.  But, when she finds herself in a situation, he does the only thing he knows to do to save her, which is could sacrifice their second chance at love.“I said I would go on loving you until I didn’t anymore.  And I never stopped.  I loved you at Yale.  I loved you when we were apart.  I loved you at Deep Haven, and I love you now.  I love you forever.” – VioletThis book was beautifully written and I have always believed in first love and this book didn’t disappoint me in the least.  I love how they got reacquainted with one another and seemed to fall in love all over again.  If you want a good book that will make you believe in second chances.
