This book was an enjoyable read. Our
two main characters, Dexter Remington and Ellie Parker, get reacquainted
in a bar unexpectedly and after four years of nothing it can only be
fate that brought these two back together. After Dex helps Ellie find
her way to her friend’s apartment, Dex starts to remember what happened
between the two and you find out their history. Ellie was raised in a
foster home since she was five and it was down the street from Dexter’s
family’s house which was how they met. Ellie would run away and climb
through his window and stay the night with him every night until she had
to leave. Without saying goodbye Ellie took off and broke Dex’s heart
for the first time. The second time was four years earlier when she
stopped by at his place in New York. Dexter told Ellie he loved her and
she ran away again and Dexter went “numb”. Now after meeting again, Dexter is leering about letting her in but just can’t seem to keep his distance.
Ellie is running from an ex in Maryland and ran to the safest place she
knew: Dexter. Although she wasn’t planning to see Dexter at the bar,
meeting him brings back those feelings of wanting to run again because
she feels she isn’t good enough for him. Will these two ever get their
HEA or will Ellie keep running away from the only stable thing she’s had
in her life? You’ll have to
read to find out the rest. Although this is number 10 in the Love in
Bloom series, this can be read as a standalone book.
