First love revisited

I loved reading this book! I might have enjoyed it even more if I had known this was one in a series, but that’s water under the bridge now. I loved the way the story developed, the interaction between hero and heroine and the love that was still there from their teenage years, you see it actually growing in the words Rachel Lacey used. As I said before, it’s a pity I didn’t read the first two books in this series, because I have the feeling I was thrown headfirst into this passionate love-story, while all the other characters already had a part and I didn’t know them. You can read it as a stand-alone, but you’re missing a lot of inside information about the town and characters. Nevertheless, I loved it! Praise!! Here’s what it’s all about: Jessica Flynn can't wait to buy up that patch of unspoiled North Carolina woodland next door and expand her spa. What could be more sensuous than a hot-tub soak under the stars? Jessica would love to bask in the romantic view herself-but first she needs to find the right man to join her in this fantasy. Back in high school, she thought that was the dark and brooding Mark Dalton. But then he left to join the Special Forces, and when he returned to town, it felt like their teenage love affair had never even happened. Mark Dalton has his eye on the same property for his own business. Yet there's something he wants to have even more. Because Jessica is sweeter than he remembered, and he's finding it hard to resist his attraction to the competition. When they finally find themselves alone, deep in the forest, nature can't help but run a little wild. But if she ever finds out what he's been hiding all these years, she may never forgive him...
