Another fantastic beta reading opportunity. The review is my honest opinion.I am a sucker for first loves, and when first love gets a second chance.Jase and Julie have been together for years. They love each other, live together and are planning a life together. But Jase messes up. BIG TIME. And Julie leaves town, her home and family, with a big secret.Nine years later-Jase has solidified his place as town man slut. His hard living and drinking have given him a reputation that he continues to live down to.Julie has also had a difficult time. She has a baby and opens herself up to a new love-making a mistake that almost kills her. She has to run again- this time back home.Once Jase and Julie meet again sparks fly. All Julie has heard is how Jase is so off track and she can't trust him to be there for her or their daughter. All Jase knows is that he has to get Julie back, that together has always been where they belong.I love Jase- he is an ass, unapologetic and heartbroken. He knows he messed up- but he wants to make it right and move on with the only woman he has ever loved. He is also passionate and tender-willing to take it slow as long as they are together. Does this mean he is perfect? Hell no. But he rises to the occasion and with a few slips along the way is there for his family including Julie, Bethany and Jenny.And Julie- goodness knows she should have it easy after all she has been through. But Dean is not willing to let her go. He terrorizes her and makes her believe she will never be free of him. But Julie is fierce and with the support of her love from Jase and family she starts to move on and give love a second chance.Drama ensues- and Dean and Tiffany are right in the middle of it all.Especially loved the full circle feeling of Julie starting and ending the book in a hospital room- but the difference between the scenes is just amazing.Again I love a genuine feeling HEA, and Jase and Julie do not disappoint!The epilogue will have you in tears- from laughter and happiness. Jenny is incredible and so insightful- love her.Matty and Kristen are such amazing friends. I can't wait to read their HEA! And coming soon will be Brandon and Bethany's love story.
