Goodreads synopsis:

She’s been hiding something from him. Until now…

Her

He was my childhood sweetheart.

Then it all went wrong and my mom tore us apart.

Ever since then I’ve kept my secret.

I haven’t had a choice.

Fourteen years later, just thinking about him makes my stomach flip.

I still remember his citrus smell, the way he used to gently hold my hand.

And then… It turns out he’s living in the same damn town.

But he’s not the Mike I remember.

He’s dark and dangerous, covered in ink.

He’s completely and utterly mouth-watering.

His whiskey-colored eyes blaze as he catches sight of me.

And it’s just a matter of time before he finds out the truth…

The question is, will he forgive me?

Him

She was my ride or die.

And she left without even saying goodbye.

Left me with nothing but a broken heart.

Since then, I’ve struggled to get close to anyone.

It’s pathetic – who else clings to their high-school love?

And then, all these years later, I see her.

But Rachel’s not how I remember.

Her wavy, raven hair frames her sexy sea-blue eyes.

Her perfect hourglass figure has curves in all the right places.

She’s pin-up girl hot. And I refuse to let her get away this time.

Next thing, we’re in suite 108.

I’m unbuttoning her blouse, tasting every inch of her.

She’s screaming in pleasure.

She’s begging for more.

Everything’s perfect.

Except for one thing…

She’s hiding one hell of a secret.

And when I find out what it is, do I have it in me to forgive her?

Or will I be the one walking away without a goodbye this time?

5 Stars

This is the third book in the Accidental Love series by Dana Mason.

Mason never fails to offer us an unputdownable romance. And this book is no different.

We met Michael Murphy, Kelley’s best friend in the previous book in this series when she went to hide out with him when she had a squabble with Mac. He was definitely my favorite character from that book and I was looking forward to this book because of that.

Mike now has his Cross Fit Box store nearly ready for its opening. Then in waders a young girl named Reagan. She is curious about the gym, he thinks, but she is really curious about him. He’s her dad and he doesn’t even know she exists.

Rachel is Reagan’s mother. She is Mike’s high school sweetheart. The one he never forgot or got over. He runs into Rachel during a wedding consultation standing while he is standing in for Mac and being Kelley’s support. Both are flabbergasted. She just disappeared while in high school and never contacted Mike. He was heart broken. Little did he know all the circumstances behind her disappearance. When they first meet, the book about consumes itself. To say they were hot for each other was an understatement. They were in desperate need for each other.

This book just kills you for both of them and all they had been through due to Rachel’s mother. The woman was a major manipulator and forced Rachel to choose between her baby and Mike while threatening to put the baby up for adoption if she didn’t make the right decision. Needless to say, I hated that woman with a desperation that matched Rachel and Mike’s love for each other.

I gave this five stars because, wow, this story just blows my mind. And the chemistry is off the charts. I really think Mason needs to give classes on how to craft characters, motivations and situations that really push all our buttons in the right way.

If you love a good romance, definitely pick this one up. Every book I have read by her was amazing. High caliber stuff. Unputdownable, for sure!

I received this as an ARC (Advanced Reader Copy) in return for an honest review. I thank NetGalley, the publisher and the author for allowing me to read this title.
