The Eatons, book two.
Myles and Zabrina were side characters in the first book, but now they get a shot at their own happy ending.
Zabrina broke off her engagement with Myles a week before their wedding and married someone else, with no explanation. A decade later, they are thrown together again for a second chance at their happily ever after.

I really enjoyed this book. Is it slightly problematic at times in an old school way, yes- especially in dealings with masculinity and gender (not AT ALL in the sense of intolerance- but in a “girls like girl toys and boys like boy toys” kind of way that I know some people have no tolerance for that. If that’s you, this isn’t your book). That said, this book was entertaining as all get out! I couldn’t stop listening. The performance was entertaining (minor issues with mispronunciation and minor errors with editing it nothing super distracting and the narrator has a really good voice for reading), the story was soap opera dramatic but never ridiculous, I was yelling at the characters and just often wondering at their actions, but I was captivated. I usually only listen to audiobooks as I do chores or get ready in the morning but this one had me listening as an alternative to reading on my Kindle.
The premise is that 10 years ago, nurse, Zabrina jilted lawyer, Miles, 2 weeks to their wedding for no apparent good reason, and compounded things by getting married to someone else the week of their planned wedding. Now 10 years later they meet again as she tries to repair her relationship with his sister, who was her former best friend, and the feelings that existed before are still there. The question is whether forgiveness and reconciliation is possible when Zabrina is still keeping secrets of the past.
I love this author’s books and specifically this series (The Eatons). They are delightfully old school, but also sexy and entertaining. I recommend them if you’re not easily offended or super modern. This has secret baby elements to it and so if that isn’t for you and if it’s a trope you find bothersome. You may want to skip this one.
Another thing that is hit or miss in this book that I think people will love or hate is how much the author loves / knows about design. It gets super detailed into design elements of interiors or even of an engagement ring. I was personally ambivalent and didn’t mind either way but be aware that it does go into some unnecessary detail describing interior design if you’re not super into interiors.
Overall m, I loved this book and found it difficult to put down even though I didn’t always agree with the characters actions or the way certain things we conveyed, I think this author is fabulously entertaining and I’m excited to read more in this series.
