Page 14 of The Romance Rivalry

Honestly, is there anything more swoon-worthy than knowing that two people can find their way back to each other for a second

chance? I love the notion that despite time and distance, the embers of their love always stayed lit, waiting to burst into

flames. Make them each other’s first loves, and I’m a goner. Six out of five stars for Belle and Jake’s book, the best in

the series thus far.

I’m all for second chances in life and in love. But in this book, Jake’s original feelings for his friend Belle were nothing

more than a childhood crush... unrequited, I might add. So when they came back together years later, acting as if they

were always meant to be, it felt disingenuous, in my opinion. I wasn’t buying it.
