***ARC courtesy of Season Publishing via Net Galley in exchange for an honest review***All Over You tells the story of Becca and Scott - former lovers who have gone on their separate ways for a year now yet still holding on to those feelings inside of them. At first, I didn't know what caused their separation and why Becca acted so stubbornly against Scott, despite his relentless wooing and stalking as others might call it. The fact that it's so obvious that Becca is still pinning for Scott even after 1 year of calling it quits, aggravates me more. Her stubbornness exasperates me most of the times that I want to shake her off of it. Scott, ever the patient man that he is, didn't stop until he finally got what he truly wanted....Becca. It was her - the one who got away. After realizing that letting her go is the biggest mistake he has ever done, he knew he had to do everything he could to win her back. This time, nothing and no one could stop him. So the chase begins...I was surprised that I pretty much enjoyed this story though I didn't read the first book in the series. It's true that it's a stand-alone but I still want to read the story of Olivia and Zach. It really sounds interesting. I would love to read their story too.All in all, I enjoyed reading this. Yeah I know it's kinda predictable but it still works for me. I loved the flow of the story, the dialogues and the revelations along the story. Scott's family secret kept me guessing and I liked how the author pulled off that part when he finally revealed his secret to Becca. The heroine is not that bad. Actually, I have a love-hate relationship with her. The fact that her stubbornness and immaturity pissed me off sometimes, made me give this book 4-stars rating. And they could save themselves a lot of trouble if they could have been more honest and open to each other. But I love seeing them coming up to their senses, realizing their mistakes, admitting it and learning from it. Becca's trust issues with men has something to do with her absentee father. From that point of view, I totally understood her. With Scott, crawling back into her life and knocking off her defenses, really brought something good in her life. He made her realized that not all guy is like her father. That she could trust, love and find happiness again.I just wished that this story is longer though. I felt like there are some unresolved issues especially on Becca's part. Her relationship with her father was left hanging open. But nevertheless, I still enjoyed it. Fast-paced. Quite Angsty. Steamy. Sweet. Funny. Captivating. Becca & Scott's story grew up on me. In the end, I liked how their relationship turned out. It's not that solid yet but they're working on it. The author did an amazing job creating these wonderful characters.If you love reading about second chance romances, please try and read this one.
