Review: Love comes first

This was a sweet second chance at romance story. I liked that Ana and Blake had met at college and were roommates who had a one-night stand, only then to be unexpectedly parted with much still left to be said. I felt these two had past feelings that were just waiting to develop into love. There's always the one who got away, the one you still think about and wonder about. Ana and Blake both have some unrequited feelings and a longing for a missed opportunity, and now, ten years later, fate swings back around and brings these two lovers face to face again. That past and those still-burning feelings of "what if" made their romance believable and feel deeper.Even with Blake and his company's possible takeover of Ana's employment, none of the story felt too dramatic or angsty. It flowed really well and was a slow and steady kind of read with a small-town, family feel to it. A lot about love of place and home, and family and friends, too. I wanted something warm and cozy, something that was soft and feel-good, and this romance gave me that. Sometimes I like to change up my reads, read something less erotic/sexy than my usual, and this romance was a soft place to land. No sex in this one, just some kissing, and it's more about two people grabbing that second chance at love and making it count this time around. Sweet, easy, and romantic.
