Synopsis
The thing about being the one who got away is that you really need to stay gone.
Petty thief Dermot “Finn” Finnegan came back to Lucy’s Lake, Vermont, to do one thing—return the car he’d stolen from his high school flame, Tessa, the night he’d disappeared ten years ago. The plan was to be in and out with no one the wiser, especially not Tessa, but when a mysterious fire breaks out and he reluctantly saves the day, Finn’s plans are all shot to hell, along with his ability to resist the love he left behind.
Tessa Scuderi never expected to see Finn again, and that was fine by her. The truth about the teeny-tiny felony they committed could threaten her custody of her teenage sister, Izzy, and getting him out of town is job one. But as the mystery of everything that happened that night ten years ago—including her mother’s death in a strange fire—starts to unravel, Finn gets all weird and loyal. Can love survive lies, theft and arson?
There’s only one way to tell…
Quick Review
Tessa Jones had her car stolen by her first love Dermot Finnegan. Eleven years later he's back to return the car he stole but unfortunately for everyone involved he's unwillingly he's caught up in the mysterious events that ensure. This is a stupidly funny, absorbing read that made me cry with laughter. I read it on the train which turned out to be a big mistake, the gentleman next to me on the train did not appreciate my controlled disguised laughter/coughs.
This author is talented, funny and captivating. I rarely find an author who brings individuality to a genre inundated with mundane reads. I would whole heatedly recommend this book to anyone looking to read a simple, romantic but heartwarming tale of a great love affair. This book made my week. Thank you Lani Diane Rich for this great freebie.
