“Lucas Evanston was one mistake she would regret forever.”—Regan’s thoughtsWhat do you do when the man you’ve hated for the past 6 years—the same man who was responsible for breaking your heart in the most humiliating way possible—turns out to be your boss for the summer. Run away? Tempting. Quit? Also tempting. Act mature about it? Sadly, yes. Now, what do you do if that same man turns out to realize that his biggest mistake was to not fight for you? What do you do if he doesn’t want to let you—the love of his life—get away again? And crazier still: what if you don’t want to leave…“He’d been crazy about this woman from the minute he met her, and he wished he never let her walk out of his life six year ago. He wouldn’t make that mistake again.”—Lucas’s thoughtsYikes! Talk about an internship from Hell! Well kinda. When you’re boss is super hottie and charming Lucas Evanston, it’s hard to call it anything but heaven. Unless you’re Regan, of course, who got her heart broken ala Cruel Intentions style. I loved how we got to flash back for a few chapters to see how the two of them met and got involved. But this is after we know that they had a very bad falling out. We don’t get to know how they broke up until later on, and it really is such a shame that Lucas didn’t fight harder.Well, he’s certainly trying to make up for lost time now! While I loved how he kept pursuing her—even when he had competition and he knew that boss plus intern equals job-threatening office scandal—he had a lot to atone for! I wanted to smack him whenever he acted jealous and *especially* when he was like ‘eh, it’s in the past. Let’s move on.’ Sure, it’s easy to say that when you’re the one who was in the wrong!I liked how strong Regan is, felt bad for what Lucas put her through, and cheered for her throughout the book. I do feel like she let him off the hook easily many times, and some of those times where she got hurt could have easily been prevented if Lucas really thought things through. It was sad seeing how bitter and angry she was (although understandable given what she believes) thinking that Lucas didn’t care about her, while Lucas struggles with his feelings, because he does care. And unfortunately, he has no idea how to fix things.It’s an entertaining read, and I absolutely loved Regan! The heat is med-high with sexual tension between these two loves with some serious baggage coming between them—the same baggage badly packed by them. Plus, there’s the whole no fraternizing at work thing, which is a bit of a wrinkle when trying to reconcile. The story is standalone with no cliffhanger although I wish there was more in the epilogue! Overall, this is a 3.5 out of 5 for me!(Originally posted on my blog; I received a review copy in exchange for an honest and unbiased review.)
