If you love a good second chance romance then this is one to pick up, come along and meet Kenzie and Ewan, this is one sure to keep you turning the pages, I Loved it.
Mackenzie (Kenzie) Knight lives on the Gold Coast in Queensland she is a single mum to four year old Poppy and runs a very successful event planning business and she is exceptionally good at wedding planning, all is going so good, until the man she had a one night stand with five years ago walks into the room with his bride to be, Kenzie is stunned to see the man who she thought had left the country to go home all those years ago and the man who fathered Poppy, what will she do now?
Ewan Campbell arrives to be at this wedding planning meeting even though he is busy but this meeting is going to upend his life forever when the wedding planner turns out to be the woman that has stayed in his mind for all of these years he never really forgot her and when he discovers that he is a father Ewan has some choices to make.
A meeting between Kenzie and Ewan is not easy and now Ewan is not getting married and Kenzie needs to get away for a bit and takes Poppy on a trip to her mother and step-father’s farm and Ewan comes along to get to know Poppy and soon they are talking lots and thinking about how life is going to be for the three of them, Ewan suggests a trip to his family’s property in South Australia and road trip is planned that turns out to be fun, and all is going well when they spend time at Laire-Mor their relationship is growing, Poppy is loving having a daddy and another family and then something happens that will upend everything again, will they overcome this and find love and happiness?
I loved this one so much Karly Lane has again bought her readers a story to fall into with wonderful characters and settings I loved Kenzie, Ewan and Poppy and I highly recommend this one, it hit the spot beautifully, moving, emotional and awesome.
My thanks to Allen & Unwin for my copy to read and review.
