...so I read it in one sitting!This "second chance at romance" story has just enough angst and suspense to keep you page turning through the night. Sleep? Who needs it?  HA!Wealthy Ivy Johnson and Lucas Baylor once enjoyed a summer fling that just...ended.  With different agendas, or so they believed, each went their separate way without looking back. Okay, there was 'looking back' but neither one is aware of it...yet.A chance meeting nine years later leads Lucas to reach out to Ivy in friendship and she shuts him down. Walking away in anger determined to forget about Ivy, Lucas stumbles across the secret Ivy's been keeping for nine years - and the story really takes off.I liked Lucas. If not for his confrontational, we-gotta-talk attitude, it would have been a very short story. He was quite intense and possessive - not bad things when they moved the relationship forward. Ivy's past bad decisions left her more than a little battle weary in matters of the heart, but it was just good to see her stop the running, hiding, and coverups and deal with Lucas. With her wealth and family name, Ivy could have been a totally different person. More like Cyrus - yikes! Loved seeing her support the relationship between Lucas and Katie.Constance Johnson - class act all the way. Priscilla? Oh.Em.Gee! Almost felt sorry for her...almost, but she kinda set herself up for that. She also seemed more than a bit mercenary. Katie - what a lil sweetheart. Even though she had a major adjustment to make, she acted better than most of the adults. LOL! Janelle - you dirty double crosserDefinitely fell in love with this story and am looking forward to book 2 of the Johnson Family.
