Anderson Bexley was the love of my life… or so I thought.

 

For years, I convinced myself that one day he would see me as more than the bubbly activities director at his family’s campground. 

Sure, he was ten years older.

Deeply tortured.

And far too devoted to the family business to make time for his own happiness.

But none of that mattered. Especially during that one blissful night when he was all mine.

 

I thought our forever had finally begun, but he broke my heart instead.

 

A year later, I’m moving on.

In a new city.

At a new job.

With a new man. 

Add in a promotion that lands me my first big account, and things can’t possibly get better.

 

Until I hear my first client is none other than Anderson Bexley...

 

Now, I’m heading back to a place I had once called home.

Back to Camp Bexley.

Back to him. 

 

Only this time, I’m determined to walk away on my own terms… with my heart intact.


My rating: 5 out of 5 stars

My review:

Anderson Bexley pushed Hope Davies to leave Camp Bexley and Orcas Island when she received a better job opportunity because he didn’t want to hold her back from pursuing her career goals.  Hope had fallen in love with Anderson, and she spent three years waiting for him to realize it.  When he pushed her away, she finally decides she needs to go forward in life without him. Moving to Seattle was hard at first but Hope eventually settled into the cooperate lifestyle.  Until she is sent back to Camp Bexley for her job and realizes her heart still belongs to Anderson. 

“You remind me how to be happy…And by admitting that, I feel guilty, because you aren’t responsible for my happiness, but I can’t imagine happiness without you in that same picture.”

Anderson had always regretted driving Hope away but when she comes back one year later, he thinks it’s fate.  He is dismayed that Hope has changed so much and possibly moved on with someone else, but he wants another chance with her. 

This was a wonderful story that will touch your heart.  There is so much regret, grief, insecurities, and hope, it’s like being on an emotional rollercoaster.  Anderson had so much grief and took so much upon himself.  He worked hard to renovate the camp hoping his brothers would eventually return home.  Ultimately, he realizes they have their own dreams, and they were not the same as him.  Hope’s character started out sweet, but I was disappointed that she started “hooking up” with Dexter, her boss.  I didn’t understand why she did this if she was so worried about her career.  I felt like she had been using Dexter and really felt bad for him.  She never redeemed herself in my eyes, especially when she goes on and on about losing her job.  If she didn’t want to commit to a relationship with Dexter, then she should not have hooked up with him.  I really hope to see Dexter in a future book because he seemed to have a softer side underneath his business face.

 

I received an ARC and am voluntarily leaving a review.  All thoughts and opinions are my own.
