This Time Around is a very sweet love story and beautifully told.Jake and Nora were high school sweethearts but days before Nora was to leave to go away to college, everything changed.  Four years later, Nora is returning to home town to help out her best friend plan her wedding.  Nora never returned home during her college years because there were too many memories and she just wanted to move on."He'd abandoned me. It was as simple as that.  He made me fall in love with him and then he'd broken me. I wasn't the same after that."Jake just received his degree in architecture and was working with his dad until he found a job.  He knew that Nora would be coming back in town for their friend's wedding.  He has never been able to get over how things ended between them but he was hoping that they could at least be friends again.When these two run into each other at the bar - it's obvious that neither one has been able to move past their feelings for one another.  Nora may fight it but she knows that Jake has always had a special place in her heart and no-one will be able take his place.  Jake let Nora get away the first time - he won't make the same mistake this time around."When Nora was around it was impossible to notice anyone but her."The chemistry between these two is so hot - I am surprised my kindle didn't catch fire.  Jake and Nora have such a heated passion for one another that they completely forget about their surroundings when in each other presence.  And speaking of heat - WOW!!!  Hot, sweaty, sexy, steamy sex - hot damn!  And Jake - *SWOON* - he is so sensitive and loves to show Nora how much she means to him.  I want Jake - no I need Jake!!!"Baby, I was broken. I was completely shattered!  There was not a single day that went by that I didn't think of you. I've been yours since the day we met...yours and only yours. You own me, Nora."Beautiful love story - great summer read!
