Regrets for the past things I’ve done.

But I won’t regret what I’m about to do.

I need her beneath me.

I’m having her tonight.

Bridget.

It’s the little things I remember about Ben.

His smile and the icing sugar he had on his pancakes.

met someone, someone special.

But Ben is back.

I find myself thinking about him ......more than I should.

I need a Ben Stratham in my life! 5🌟

I absolutely loved this book by TL! Ben and Bridget are some of the most fascinating characters in the series and I connected with them so much. Ben is strong, alpha, sexy and South African man with a lot of secrets. Bridget is a confident, sassy, strong and gorgeous a woman inside and out. The plot is full of drama, twists and turns, and plenty of hot and steamy moments. I highly recommend this book. It’s brilliant and you won't be able to put it down. Not only was the story incredibly captivating, but TL Swan's writing style was so vivid and immersive. I experienced every emotion along with the characters and was unable to put the book down. Every woman deserves a Ben Statham, and this story was the perfect reminder of that. If you're looking for a book that will captivate, move, and inspire you, then you should definitely read this one. It is an absolute must read!

I can't remember the last time I laughed, cried and became anxious reading a book. This story has it all! Ben was a man determined to get his girl and Bridget was a woman who fought the past and her reality. The author did a great job making their tale believable (except for the private jets and mansions) and realistic. The characters were well written and the plot was easy to follow. Loved this book!

I started the Stanton series from the beginning and have noticed a few things that drive me crazy. Although it is good story telling and I find myself unable to put the books down, they desperately needed editing. Not only grammatically either typos and messed up grammar and punctuation but also with some details. In the previous books it could get very repetitive. With this book, in the date scene it says that Ben took a sip of his wine then 3 sentences later says he took a sip of his beer.. at the wedding in the end she says “Bridget and Natasha giggle beside her “ but it should say Abbie and Natasha. These books in this series, although captivating, definitely needed proof read and tightened up.

T.L. Swan never disappoints!

Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024

Verified Purchase

Oh my goodness, this book was filled with so many unexpected moments and surprises that it left me feeling dizzy, but I absolutely adored it. T.L. Swan never fails to impress. By the time I reached the third chapter, I found myself wondering where the story was headed, and just when you think you have an idea, the author astonishes you.

This novel is very spicy and evokes many intense emotions. If you're looking for flawless characters, this isn't the right place because Bridget and Ben are completely crazy for each other, and their love story reflects the challenges and insecurities in their relationship. Moreover, forget about using common sense and just immerse yourself in the experience!

Overall, if you're a fan of second chance romances full of gripping twists and turns, then make sure to grab this book. You won't be disappointed!

Good. But won't read again

I love the romance, but not the anxiety. And I feel there could have been a good story with the ex boyfriend that is a cop - there could have been something there with his jealousy.
