When tragedy strikes, Seth Stewart is forced to return home after the death of his beloved father. The unexpected detour forces him to oversee the family’s auto shop and restaurant business, and Seth must kiss the prestigious internship goodbye after his first year at Berkeley Business School. When he collides with his first crush after his arrival, Seth wonders what possibly could have happened to Josefina Anders.
Josefina has hidden many secrets she is too ashamed to share with anyone, especially Seth. When they cross paths again, the urge to relive their past lingers in her mind even though she knows he couldn’t accept her sketchy past. Things get even more complicated when her mother returns, as well as her overly possessive ex, who decides to crash into her fragile existence all over again.
Will Seth’s connection for Josefina be strong enough to see past her secrets, or will he realize he can’t rekindle an old flame?

Review - 4,5 Stars

 I love that it was a second chance romance too!! Seth is very swoon worthy and had me from when we first meet him as the 6th grade love of Josefina's. 

Seth has been through a rough patch with his father passing away suddenly. Seth has had to take over the family restaurant and his dad's shop since he passed. Seth's mom is going through a bit of depression and he is having to take care of her too. One day while driving, Seth has an encounter with a woman that gave him the finger on the road and then happens to be his waitress for the evening when he gets to the restaurant. Seth immediately recognizes Josefina, his long lost love from 6th grade but has no idea how they have been brought back into each other’s lives. 

Seth gets a little stressed out at times but he also realizes when he needs to step back and take a break. Seth makes himself take a much needed break with his best friends on a camping trip that does him tons of good and helps him to reconnect with Josefina. Josefina had a rough childhood and is on the run from her mom and ex-boyfriend at the time when she and Seth meet up again. Josefina has never lost hope of finding Seth whom she considers to be her hero and her serenity. When Josefina has to deal with her mother one weekend and ends up having to tell Seth a small lie about where she is going because she is afraid of how he will look at her, things begin to fall apart for both of them. 

Seth and Josefina both realize that they cannot live without each other and Seth goes to find Josefina at all costs. Seth is determined to help Josefina so that she will be able to turn from her past and never have to look back. I loved how both of these characters were going through life issues that dealt with their families but they were able to come back together and realize what was best for them. 

I cannot wait to see what M. Clark has in store for us next. All the characters in this story were so likeable and made you feel like you were all best friends that really cared for you. This book flowed really easy and was easy to keep up with.

Excerpt


“Are you nervous, Mr. Stewart?” She smirked. Her eyes were beaming playfully.
    “No, not at all.” My pitch came off higher than I had expected, and I was upset with myself. I had to fix that. “I mean—” I cleared my throat. Two can play at this game, I thought. I squared my shoulders and sat up tall. “So, Josefina Anders, let me ask you some questions before I decide if I want to hire you.”
    Her brows lifted, most likely wondering if I was being serious or joking. Dropping her crossed leg, she pulled the chair closer to the table. Josie pulled a piece of paper out of an envelope that I hadn’t seen a second ago, tucked away behind her back. She placed a resume on my desk. “Ask away.”
    “How long have you been a waitress?”
    “As long as I can remember. I got hired right after high school.” She pointed to her resume. “You can see that I’ve only worked at a few places, but I’m loyal and a good employee.”
    “You’ve been a waitress for a long time, Ms. Anders. Do you think you’ll ever get sick of it?”
    “Not if it means I get to see Mr. Stewart.” Her lips curled wickedly.
    “Do you wear thongs or granny panties?”
    Josie’s lips puckered, stopping herself from busting up. “Mostly thongs, but I’m not wearing anything under my skirt at the moment.”
    Holy shit! I was trying to make her blush, but this was backfiring. Ignoring her last words, though it was extremely difficult to do, since all I could do was envision her with her skirt off, I continued, “Do you like to be on top or bottom?”
    “I will be in whatever position pleases Mr. Stewart. I’m very flexible.”
