About this ebook

A swoon-worthy, second chance holiday romance from USA Today Bestselling Author J.H. Croix!

Dani Love is the girl who got away. Actually, she dumped me.

Wade

Not exactly a stroke to my ego.

When I move back home, Dani is just as much everything as she was before. Maybe even more. Snappy and smart with an attitude for days. I want her, even if it’s stupid.

Dani can’t decide if it’s better to ignore me, or fight with me. I’ll fight and win. She just doesn’t see it coming yet.

Dani

Wade Ellis is back. In my small town. I had it all figured out. Leave my past with Wade exactly where it belonged. The past stays in the past.

But Wade isn’t getting my memo. He’s ignoring every excuse I make.

His kisses are enough to literally set me on fire. Just when my defenses are burned to ash, I fess up to why I dumped him in the first place.

That should send him running. But no. Wade stole my heart once before, and now he seems determined to prove he’s keeping it.

Wade & Dani's story is perfect for readers who love small town romance, hotshot firefighters, alpha heroes, smart sassy heroines, frenemies to lovers, second chances, slow burn, emotional romance with a dash of angst, plenty of swoon, and a deeply protective hero.

*A full-length standalone romance.

After going through the worst experience of her life, Dani closers herself off from relationships and focuses on her career. That is until her high school boyfriend moves back to town when he accepts a position on the Emergency Response Team. Unfortunately for Wade he has no idea why Dani dumped him all those years ago and she is very reluctant to fill him in. There’s no way to escape each other when they work together. They’re civil towards each other and neither bring up the past until feelings become too strong to resist. Eventually Dani finds the courage to tell Wade about the past but she is still very closed off and hesitant to give their relationship a go. Every time they get close, she shuts him out and avoids him. Another enjoyable read to this great series. Wade and Dani were always going to find a way back to each other, their connection is just too strong. The sudden end to the final chapter and then it was a year and a half later, threw me and I felt like there could have been a little more to the story. Still won’t stop me from reading the next installment.

A Fantastic Community with Well Written Characters. This is one terrific story in a whole series called “Swoon Series” written by the bestselling author, J.H. Croix. This book is number four in the series and it has just as well written a storyline as the first three with the previous characters still around adding color and content. The protagonists here are Dani and Wade who were high school sweethearts until she dropped him suddenly and then he went off to college and stayed away for awhile. He returned three years ago and it’s been tense between them ever sense as they work at Stolen Hearts Lodge. She is the head chef and manager while he is part of the rescue team. There is a long held secret Dani must decide what to do with in order to come to terms with Wade. Can she do that? Bottom Line: Another great story that held my interest due to this community of characters that the author is writing the series around. Highly recommend. I received this ARC for my honest review so I’m leaving this for your consideration. Peace.

This was well written, has wonderful characters and the storyline has depth. This second chance romance was very entertaining. Dani is the manager at the restaurant at the resort. She keeps her emotions closed off when it comes to Wade. When she was seventeen she went through a traumatic experience that changed things for her. Wade left his hometown to go away to college after his high school sweetheart broke up with him. When he returned years later his feelings for Dani were still strong but she kept him at a distance. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
