However, if you can't be stronger than it, then you have no business being in a committed relationship, muchless a marriage. And if I was to be honest with myself, I knew that there was a part of me that had hoped Emerson would show up alone so I could continue with my New Year’s resolution, which was to convince her to forgive me and maybe remind her that even though I had screwed everything up, we did have something worth fighting for. It is not long before he is walking the thin line of wishing he could tell her his real identity and keeping everything a secret.

I remember years later in that story that she said “Once trust is broken, once betrayal comes front and center, there is no coming back from it no matter how much you love or want someone” and she never took him back – until it was learned in the end that the OW he supposedly slept with had drugged him, took him home and made it seem they had sex when they never did. The chemistry between Asher and Elyse was undeniable and unquestionably was my favorite parts of this book! Don’t know if I would’ve liked this had it not been for the need to just feel something after the irrevocably sad book I read before that? Judy Corry truly did a good job in writing Elyse and Asher’s story, especially with the cute bonus epilogue included at the end.

But it seemed like no amount of apologizing or groveling could ever be enough after what I’d done to her. He’d already played bigger roles in last year’s musicals—not the lead yet since the drama teacher Miss Crawley liked to fill those with seniors when possible. But that excitement dwindles when she learns that the other character vying for hers will be played by none other than Asher, the bad-boy who is rumored to have a hand in his ex-girlfriend’s disappearance last year.

Throw in an Asian bad boy hero and a quiet heroine who finds her voice to go for what she wants and I.She ended up immersing herself in everything after that and in less than a year, she was done with her first manuscript and querying agent and publisher. I’m trying to convince Hunter here to dress up like an astronaut so I can be the pretty alien he finds on Mars. I’m looking forward to the next book in the series, and excited to see that there’s character/ story crossover with the Ridgewater high series- I need to go back to that series (I read the first couple of them) now that I know Asher was in that world too.
