My rating: 💋💋💋💋1/2

I made the mistake of falling for one of my brother’s friends.
As if that wasn’t stupid enough, I then declared my love to him.

Yeah, I know. Big mistake. Huge mistake.
But here I am with my rejected feelings, and Noah won’t even look at me. Whenever he has to talk to me, his words are blunt. Yet they cut deeper than any knife.

What’s a girl to do when the man she loves won’t give her the time of day?

Make herself irreplaceable in his life, of course.

Noah West
More handsome than all the rest.
I loved him from deep in my bones,
But then he found out
And became all curt
And trampled my heart in the dirt.

Hero : Noah West. Bad boy and someone who thinks that he is not capable of emotions. He was rude at first but I loved the way he commited to Carly when he decided he wanted her! I was totally swooning !

Pace of the story : Slow in the starting , but picked up towards the middle

Angst Rating : 7/10

Triggers Involved : None

Plot Summary : Carla has been in love with Noah for years. Years ago she made the mistake of confessing her love and Noah shot her down brutally. Since then he makes sure to stay away from her and hurt her everytime she comes near him through his words. After so much rejection , Carla decides that it is finally time to move on from her crush but a certain incident shifts their dynamics and now everything is messed up!

Carla was a 15 year old when she confessed her love to Noah. Turning her down was the decent thing to do because he was much older than her. Now after years , Noah is still keeping away from her because for him she will always be that little girl. That is until one night changes everything and suddenly he sees that she is no longer the little girl who used to play with him but a beautiful woman who has always wanted him. And this time , he was the one making the move.

Overall Opinion : I loved this book!! I have been looking forward to reading Noah and Carla since I read about them in Kao and Fallon’s book . They obviously had chemistry and a history , which is totally my favourite trope! And Michelle killed me with this one.

Noah and Carla were perfect for each other . Even though they had a lot of obstacles in the starting , instead of dwelling on those , they focused on going forward which was an amazing thing for me! The story pace was slow in the starting and then it picked up! The ending was good for me and I already can’t wait for the books of the next characters!

If you are in the mood for a light second chance contemporary romance , then pick up this series by all means! It’s absolutely perfect!

Final Verdict :
A sweet and sassy romance!
Perfect for all second chance romance lovers
I loved the hell out of this one!
Story pace was slow in the beginning but picked up a lot towards the end .
