From New York Times bestselling author Jill Shalvis... Sometimes You Can Go Home Again . . . After an overseas mission goes wrong, Army Special Forces officer Jacob Kincaid knows where he must go to make things right: back home to the tiny town of Cedar Ridge, Colorado. All he needs to scrub away his painful past is fresh mountain air, a lakeside cabin, and quiet solitude. But what he discovers is a gorgeous woman living on a boat at his dock. Sophie Marren has nowhere else to go. She's broke, intermittently seasick, and fighting a serious attraction to the brooding, dishy, I'm-too-sexy-for-myself guy who's now claiming her dock. Something about Jacob's dark intensity makes her want to tease-and tempt-him beyond measure. Neither one wants to give any ground . . . until they realize the only true home they have is with each other.

"<strong>Didn't hate it, but it had issues. </strong><br/><br/>On the surface this is a run of the mill second chance romance. It is extremely repetitive. The first 30% is basically the same chapter over and over. They spend a tiny bit of time together and then take turns telling us nothing can happen between them. The latter part of the book is the same misunderstandings and running away without talking about the problem repeatedly. Not a great story but passable. The 2 main characters, Mason and Maddy are 2 of the most insecure people I've ever read about. The author gives us plenty of explanation for that but it was a bit much. Maddy was a likeable character even though she ran time and time again after telling us she wasn't going to do that anymore. Mason is a good dad, but honestly a really bad guy. He let his friends torment Maddy in high-school because he wanted to fit in. Even though he says he would never treat her that way his immediate reaction to seeing her after a decade is to call her Fatty Maddy. Call me crazy, but if you're not that guy your instict wouldn't be to call her that. Kind of like if you're not racist you won't accidentally use a racial slur. He doesn't tell her he's still married because he is afraid of how she'll react. Then when she breaks up with him, he goes on a week long bender in which he doesn't even think about his daughter whom he left with his parents. What a great guy, right? Right??? Yikes. He's selfish and pathetic. Their best friends exist only to provide them with relationship advice and to be the voice of reason. The ending is incredibly cheesy and lame. Not a terrible book, average at best."
