Thank you @netgalley for this ARC.

Natasha and Antonio were going to get married after college. They had been together since high school. The marriage did not happen as Natasha broke it off because Antonio’s distant college led to her having many question and insecurities.
As a few years have passed, Natasha is now a successful Realtor in their hometown of Firelake. She finished college with a degree in interior design. Natasha’s company has the listing for some new condominiums being built. Little did she know that Antonio would be the builder on this project. Antonio was living in NYC and working in finance but his uncle wants to retire and the business to Antonio which is why he has come home. Antonio’s uncle is going to teach him all he needs to know for the business. Natasha is set to meet with Antonio as the project builder. As their worlds collide again will they be able to make a go of it again or will they drop it? Will this be a second change romance or will the past be to much to get over.

What sweet cozy second chance romance this book was. It has a bit of everything, love, friendship, turmoil, spiciness etc. The characters were wonderful and very like able just as all the supporting characters and the townsfold.

The hero and the heroine in this Sheryl Lister book were high school sweethearts. The end of that relationship didn't bring the closure that the couple needed, so years went by with the hero not wanting to be near the heroine whenever they meet. At the present time, the two are residing at their hometown, with the heroine as a successful career woman and the hero taking over his godfather's company. When they finally have the closure that they needed, there remains the close feelings they still have for each other. They began a romantic relationship, but they still face some personal issues to overcome before they have their happy ending.

This is the second Sheryl Lister book that I read. It features a wonderful Supper Club sisterhood and a heartwarming small-town setting. I enjoyed the strong successful characters that the couple have become, and there is a strong community vibe in this book. I always enjoyed a friends-to-lovers trope, and I can definitely feel it in the couple in this second-chance story. This book doesn't involve a lot of angst, yet it would have been nice if certain conversations were extended for better resolutions that would make the story not drag a bit in those areas of the book. Overall, an enjoyable Sheryl Lister book and I look forward to reading more of this series in the future.
