Brief Summary Courtesy of Goodreads:
After a difficult few years, Tilly Adams is ready for life
to start going right. Though she has a case of first day nerves teaching art at
the local community college, she knows it isn't anything a few snuggles from
her rescue puppy won't cure. Until she sees Dylan Scott again, her one-time BFF
and first love sitting in the front row.
Dylan knows he should've left well enough alone, but when he
sees Tilly living her dream, he can't help but make contact. Ten years ago, he
left Wildstone and everything in it behind, including Tilly. He had his
reasons, but now he wants her back in his life, anyway he can get her.
When Tilly agrees to design the logo for Dylan's new
helicopter touring company, it's business only...until she finds herself
falling into his arms once again. Can she possibly open her heart back up to
the only man who's ever broken it? But soon they're both realizing the truth -
love always deserves a second chance.
My Review:
I received an ARC of this book in an exchange for an honest, unbiased review. I am a huge fan of Jill Shalvis' books so when I got the opportunity to read the newest book in the Wildstone Series I jumped at the chance. After reading the first book I was very interested to learn more about Tilly's character so I was excited to learn this short novella was about Tilly. I was also excited to see that the love interest was her friend Dylan.
I think Jill did a great job as always by creating well developed characters from the very first page that you read to the very last one. I think no matter what book you pick up in the series, you the reader understand the backstory of the characters as much as you need to.
In addition, I think that she did a great job of creating the right level of drama and romance in the book. She didn't have everything happen out perfectly. The characters really had to work out things to get to their end solution. In addition, I think it was interesting to read more about Dylan's character because you learned more about him in this book than you did in the last one that Tilly was in. Lastly, I truly enjoyed seeing Tilly and her sisters relationship grow even more in this book. You saw this even more since returning to town a couple years after she left.
I am very excited to read more in the Wildstone series as this book did not disappoint. Great job Jill!
