The
One You Can’t Forget (The Ones Who Got Away #2). By Roni Loren. 2018. Sourcebooks
Casablanca. ASIN: B076BWSBXM (Kindle).
Rebecca Lindt is a successful divorce attorney
at her father’s firm. She’s worked tirelessly to earn her place
to one day inherit the firm. And ever the dutiful daughter, she has
recently taken on extra work helping her dad in his political
campaign. And with the upcoming airing of the documentary about the
Long Acre High School shooting, her father is banking on her status
of survivor to resonate with the voters, despite Becca’s wishes to
leave her past memories be. She’s tired, and with the exception of
meeting her three best girlfriends for Sunday brunches, she’s
lonely. She really didn’t see West, a smart, sexy, tatted chef with
dreams, coming.
When West Garrett intervenes in a mugging and
saves Becca’s life, his life suddenly becomes more complicated. Two
years ago Becca was his ex-wife’s attorney, who in a vicious
divorce took his dream of running his own restaurant, sending him
into a downward drunken spiral. He’s just getting his feet
underneath him, sober and teaching cooking in an after school program
for disadvantaged kids who are just like he used to be. Losing his
heart to this woman is rather inconvenient but worth the risk if he
can earn hers in exchange.
West brings out a different side of Becca than
was shown in the first book. Under his attention and overtures of
friendship, she really comes to life, shedding the shell of bravado
that has been exhausting her to maintain for her father’s approval.
She straightened and help up the bottle.
“Want some?”
“Not yet. But let me know if you see me
getting red.”
“You mean watch your body very, very
closely in the name of safety” I’m on it.”
He laughed. “You are such a thoughtful
friend.”
Yep. She was thinking thoughts all right.
Once again, this book has banter, chemistry and
the perfect partner for healing.
