BLURB
Hunter Markham left home to travel the world for fame and glory, finding it as a top ranked professional surfer. Now he’s returned home to the sand and salty breeze of the North Carolina Outer Banks so he can open The Last Call, a beach bar nestled among the dunes of the Atlantic.
Five years ago, Gabby Ward drunkenly threw herself at her best friend’s brother, only to have her young heart crushed. Hunter is back but Gabby is content to stay far away from him and his dangerously charming ways.
Gabby’s well-schemed plans to ignore Hunter go up in flames when he presents her an offer she simply can’t refuse. Working together day in and day out proves problematic for two reasons—Gabby realizes her feelings for Hunter are still very much alive, while Hunter struggles to break through to Gabby’s cold heart. What starts out as a mutual business arrangement soon turns into a passion that neither can deny.
But when the pro surfing tour comes knocking and Hunter has a chance to reclaim his former glory, hard choices lie ahead for both of them.
Choices that could destroy what they have built or take them further than they could ever dare to hope in their second chance at romance.
“No one knows where anything is going… not for sure. Who’s to say we need to know what waits for us? Maybe all we need to know is that we don’t want to stay where we are.”
REVIEW
I am kicking myself to taking so long to finally read this book! The moment I started I was completely hooked.
Gabby and Hunter have known each other for years. Gabby has been crushing on her best friends older brother for years, too. When one night they finally share a kiss that completely changes everything….
Gabby is hurt from what occurred in the past between her and Hunter. She still holds a grudge against him for the humiliation that he caused. Yet, when the opportunity to comes along to that can help her construction business by remodeling Hunter’s bar she has to learn to push it aside and at least act professional around him. Now they are forced to spend time together and maybe they will be able to move on from the events on their past.
Gabby and Hunter have a ton of chemistry. I loved that Hunter was so reassuring when it came to Gabby and her fears. There is just something about Hunter that is addictive. He may be a surfer, yet there is a lot more to him than his surfing career. He has a confidence to him that you can’t help but fall for.
I can’t wait to dive into the other books in this series!
If you’re looking for a second chance, age gap, small town, best friends brother romance this is one to read.
