3.75 starsChristine is attending her best friend's wedding. This is her last stop before moving back home to Maine and she is planning to make the best out of her time away. What she was not looking forward though was running into Tyler, the man she crushed on for years--the very one who loved her up against wall and left her not a minute later.Tyler is returning back home after being away doing his work overseas. A compassionate doctor who enjoys taking care of others, Tyler's feelings of remorse come back ten fold when he lays eyes on Christine. However, along with the guilt came in the feelings of want that had laid dormant through the years. He knows he should apologize and make it up to her, but Christine is reluctant to even give him the time of day and her temper just works to ignite the passion he has for her.I loved the concept behind this story and as with other books I've read by this author I thought this was going to be fantastic read. Sadly, I didn't love it as much as I thought I would.Although I did enjoy the story and it was very good, I just could not click with Christine. Sure, I understood where she was coming from, but in my opinion she held her grudge for longer than was necessary. Her thought process at times became exhausting since she constantly fought her feelings for Tyler.Christine and Taylor had amazing chemistry and Diane Alberts didn't pull any punches bringing that element to the page. Their passion jumped off the page as well as their need to give into their attraction. But still I would have loved to see more of the connection between Tyler and Christine. Most of their interactions revolved around their bickering which took away from the honest and candid moments they shared.Another element I have to point out was the great cast of characters that were introduced. I loved the camaraderie between the girls and the brief glimpse I got from the men. Each and every one of them added to the story in their own way which made me curious to know more about them.All in all, a steamy romantic read with a great cast of characters I can't wait to read more about. Off to pick up the other books in the series!
