The One That Got Away
Karly Lane
Reviewed by Helen
I loved this one so much, you can’t go wrong with a Karly Lane story and I read this one in one sitting there was no way I could put it down till I got to the end, this one is set in the small coastal town of Rockne Heads, Alex Kelly and Sully McCoy were high school sweethearts but when they broke up eighteen years ago Alex ran and now she is back and Sully is still there, is it time for some secrets and truths to come out?
Alex has a great job in England and is loving her life, she has only been back once in all of these years to her home town and that was for her father’s funeral but now she wants to sell the family home and buy a cottage in England, but sadly the minute she steps foot in Rocky the rumours and innuendo start all over again, why can’t people let the past stay in the past, that is small towns for you.
Sully McCoy has shown the town that he is not like his father and done well for himself with his fishing trawlers and charter fishing business and of course he has his teenage daughter Gaby, who is his life, but then Alex arrives home and memories resurface and he wants to see her and put the past straight, if she will let him.
Alex makes it known to Sully that she is here for only a short time and then leaving her life is now in London but the more time they spend together the more they both realise that they have never stopped loving each other, but will the past put a wedge between them or will the truth come out and finally put the past behind them so as they can look to the future and will it be together?
This is such a fabulous story it has everything a great rural romance is known for fabulous characters, awesome setting a close knit community and there is mystery and danger added into this one as long past secrets come to the surface, filled with lots of emotion as well I highly recommend this one, it is not to be missed.
My thanks to the publisher Allen & Unwin for my copy to read and review.
