My Review:
From the intriguing synopsis to the sexy cover, Hagen has managed to deliver a heartwarming story about second chances at love and new beginnings. At the very start we get to meet Alice Bennett, a successful entrepreneur who has worked hard to open up her own restaurants around town. Being part of a big family has definitely kept her close, and now that she is opening another restaurant with one of her brother's, she can't wait to start a new adventure. That is until she runs into Nate, a close family friend and successful TV producer. As someone who is constantly on the move, Nate has been away for a while, but when Alice sees him again emotions start to resurface. She knows that she is asking for trouble the minute Nate proposes to take their relationship further, but she is willing to take a chance on them before he leaves again.
