4.5I was pleasantly surprised with this one. I keep going back and forth on what to rate it. It's probably a four, but it's one I would want to read again and I liked the premise so I'm giving it a five.I loved the beginning, James shows up at a house party his new fiancé insisted he attends only to come face to face with the woman who jilted him seven years ago. Oh, and he is still in love with her. I'm a sucker for lost-love stories, I always love that first meeting.There was a lot of fun tension between James and Elizabeth. I admit, the reason for her jilting him was rather weak. (view spoiler) You'd think they would have known each other well enough that she would have known whether that was true or not. And would marrying him knowing that really be worse than the scandal her disappearing caused? I liked the added twist that he is newly engaged and his beautiful fiancé is there stirring things up. His soon to be mother-in-law was truly awful. I wonder how she sleeps at night??Overall, a rather fun read and one I would re-read. I appreciated that it was clean too!ContentRomance: CleanLanguage: Mild (D
