Great storyline. I would have loved to read it as a longer novel. I adore reading about a couple that knew each other long ago and now have a chance to ignite something they couldn't 'way back when.' I didn't think I would like Cole because of the way he treated Jolie when they were younger. But you come to find it was more than just self preservation. Jolie has lived in the shadow of her mother's affair with a very rich, very influential, and very married man who is also the father of her best friend and her blooming first crush, the best friend's brother. When the affair comes to light, she and her mother are shunned. Through no fault of her own, Jolie is forced into a friendless existence. Then Cole gets a chance to redeem himself, and the chance to find out what he really pushed away all those years ago.I don't usually read these shorter romances, as I like to be really involved. This was still a lot better than I expected it to be. While I could have read quite a bit more about the people involved in the story, I felt very engaged in both main characters. And I guess if I'm saying that I wanted more, that's a good thing, right?
