“Hurt me?” He let out a slightly angry laugh then shocked me with what he said next. “It changed me. I loved you, Amelia. I was in love with you.” Justin ran his fingers through his hair in frustration. “How the fuck did you not know that?”
I think expected more I don't know, the first part of the book I prayed for amelia to react and love herself more! because everything she has to handle with him and jade I don't know but the second part was better and sweet (bea ♥) and hot so yeah finally 3 stars

This was good. But it didn't wow me. I read all sorts of "OMG" reviews so I guess I went in with high expectations. Justin was hot, but this kinda fell flat for me.

Tbh i was going to DNF the book at 25%, but I pushed through it, and I'm glad because the way it picked up, for me was the beautiful. I was afraid it had cheating trope in it however, i was never so happy to find out that I'm wrong. Liked the book and the nickname"Bumblebee"

Melhor romance do ano sim ou claro? Li tudo numa noite, não parava nem pra comer. Aqui a gente tem tudo o que eu mais gosto num livro só: amores do passado, amor de infância, só faltou o Justin ser mó bad boy pra completar. Mas claro, eu não mudaria nada nele. Em nenhum deles. O livro me ganhou por não romantizar traição e nem colocar a namorada atual do Justin como uma bitch completa. Os personagens se respeitam e isso é TÃO BOM DE VER NÃO É MESMO? Pena que a capa E o título são péssimos, mas o livro é ótimo! Encerrando 2016 muito bem.

I picked this one up on a whim. I was going through Amazon one-clicking (just like any other day) and this one was recommended to me after purchasing something else. The blurb had potential, the cover looked good, so I clicked. I just spent the last couple hours in Ms. Ward's world. I didn't get up, I didn't get a drink, thankfully the kids have a snow day and were sleeping in. I was pulled and not released until that epilogue was over.
I loved the premise behind it. Did I see the end coming? I am an avid reader, so yes that ending really wasn't a surprise, but I enjoyed the ride getting there though. Why wasn't this a five star for me? The angst that was within the the story was something that could have been fixed and down with after one conversation. Instead it lingered throughout the entire book. Not my favorite kind of angst.
Amelia's grandmother passes and leaves her half of the beach house. The other half is left to her childhood best friend, Justin. Amelia hasn't seen Justin in years. Something happened in their teens that Justin had knowledge of but kept from Amelia trying to protect her. She saw it as a betrayal and moved away to live with her dad, leaving Justin behind. Can they make sharing a beach house work? Will he even agree to be in the same room as her? Can Justin hold back the hate he's developed for Amelia?
This was a super quick read. Once you pick it up you don't set it down until you finish.
**I have read and reviewed my personal copy of this book for Wicked Reads.**
