About this ebook

When Allison Nelson’s failed bakery leaves her career in limbo she takes a job at Camp Firefly Falls. It’s a trip down memory lane to return to the camp she attended during her childhood, but she gets more than she expected. A corporate retreat arrives, and Allison is forced to sink or swim in a new romance with her first love. But a casual summer fling doesn’t go as planned, and she dives in with her heart, even if she’s too scared to tell Cooper about her son and a past full of failure.

 

Cooper Marshall spent the last decade as the golden boy of snowboarding winning multiple Olympic medals. When he decides to settle down and take a suit-and-tie job, he’s sent on a retreat to Camp Firefly Falls. More than fond memories of the camp await him, and he discovers his childhood crush that got away. He makes the move he should have years ago, but Allison is not the Allie he remembers, and the week-long fling she insists upon keeps him at arm’s length.

 

When Allison’s truth is revealed, Cooper learns the girl he fell in love with has changed into a woman he doesn’t know. But the Allie he remembers is still in Allison’s heart, and she struggles with learning to let go of her mistakes to take a chance on love.

That crush started at thirteen, the last time Allie/Allison saw Cooper. She never forgot the feelings she had for her brother's best friend and the boy who teased her into way too many situations. Now he's all grown up, has some Olympic Gold Metals and a new job. She, of course, has had some changes in her life as well, but the week long fling they agree to doesn't need to be complicated by telling him. The Allison he knew would never have initiated anything intimate. Allie would and does. How does he feel about the all grown up version of his friend/crush? Her secret involves a son with a man she never married and reluctantly shares custody. Will she really be able to let go in a week? Will Cooper want her to? What about her life now that she has allowed herself to feel? Enjoy this grown-ups-growing-up-story and the characters that make us laugh, steam, and want their happiness. You'll enjoy her friend and the new adventures of life she is in for. I was provided an ARC for an honest review.

CRUSHING ON COOPER-FATE COMES FULL CIRCLE IN THIS BLAZING HOT SECOND CHANCE ROMANCE! Allison {Allie} had high hopes in college until she made the mistake of having unprotected relations with her boyfriend and became pregnant with her adorable son Max. Allie has the gift of being a master baker her creations are beyond awesome. She did own a bakery but it failed because she was unable to hire help and made quality time to be with her son. Allie hit the jackpot when she landed a job at Camp Firefly Falls. Becoming friends with the chef and being able to bake her own creations is a blessing to her. The camp brought back joyful memories when her brother and her crush Cooper were there. Cooper, the Gold Medal snowboarder, now retired from the sport shows up at the camp due to his new job. When he sees Allie his childhood crush he is elated and a romance flourishes. When Cooper finds out about Max he is enraged that Allie did trust him enough to tell him herself. Cooper goes home leaving her broken-hearted with the knowledge of her mistake. LOVED this heart-stirring fast paced well-written romance. The story has fun engaging characters, breathtaking scene descriptions, witty dialogue and blissful moments. Allie and Cooper’s relationship certainly has its up and downs but their romance is filled with burning passion and unwavering devotion. I truly appreciated that the author showed that in relationships communication and trust are so important, and one should not be afraid to tell up front any complications that might interfere with a relationship. The author also showed that even though you are a single parent, it is important to make time for yourself to have fun and find love. My eyes did fill with tears, but then the smiles came with the heart-melting conclusion. This is a most gratifying and entertaining read. If you treasure fantasy romance this is a wonderful story for your library. {I was gifted this book and this is my honest review}. In the world of fantasy romance, the possibilities are endless, but always fascinating. Without reservations, I recommend this book.
