3.5 StarsLast Chance Proposal by Barbara DeLeo is a sweet and slightly emotional romance about two people who fell in love when they were only eighteen.  Ah, young love, so fragile and so mind blowing all at the same time. Due to a tragic event, the couple immediately separated and moved on with their respective lives.  Years later, they meet again because a enormous favor is needed.Cy Hathaway, a former surfer from New Zealand, owns a chain of successful surf stores across the United States.  Due to circumstances beyond his control, he needs a wife immediately, in order to obtain custody of his son Jonty.  In his mind, his only choice is Ellie Jacobs, his former best friend and first love.  Ellie is an extremely warm and caring woman. In addition, she has successfully carved out a career as a specialized architect. Ellie travels from project to project, sharing her renovation expertise with others.Luckily, Cy is able to convince Ellie to marry him and temporarily move to the states. Once the custody battle is over, Ellie will be able to return to her former life.  However, Cy and Ellie still have very strong feelings for each other, which seem to get in the way of their individual happiness.
