Parks and Provocation by Juliette Cross
4.0
sweet and spicy
Lola has temporarily moved back to her hometown of Green Valley, following the downsizing of her workplace. She’s always been a planner, and is somewhat embarrassed by having to start over again.
So when she accidentally locks her keys in her car, and has to be rescued by none other than her high school nemesis, Jed, she’s mortified. Why couldn’t he at least have gotten ugly or fat over the years? And why is being and, daresay, flirtatious?
I really enjoyed Cross’ writing style as I’ve never read one of her books before, and the cast of characters was a winning combination of sweet, cheeky, fun, caring, and haaawt!
I absolutely adored Marly as Lola’s best friend. Lola could be pretty uptight and unyielding at times, and Marly was the perfect naughty balance for her.
Jed was adorable in how fast he fell. And how he just accepted the truth in the depth of his feelings for Lola was lovely.
And I liked the fact that it wasn’t the hero messing things up this time, and the heroine had to do the grovelling.
Yes, there were a couple of minor discrepancies early on, such as the number of dates Lola had been on, but once I got into the story I’d pretty much forgotten about them.
