He hugged her to him, holding her arms at her side so she couldn’t hit him. “It’s not too late. You’re not that old, you know.”
She squirmed, but he held tight. “And you’re getting too old to be the playboy of Riverbend. I think it’s time for you to retire that title to a new graduate.”
A shooting star bolted across the sky. “Quick! Make a wish.”
Anna slid an arm free and held his cheek, facing him. “I don’t have to.”
He dared to move closer, to hope she’d return his affection. His heart pounded with adrenaline and his breath quickened. No woman ever turned him around or flipped him upside down like she did. “Anna.”
“Shh.” She gently pressed her lips to the corner of his mouth. A shiver of excitement vibrated from the top of his head to his toes. He held onto her for dear life, hoping she’d never pull away, never leave him again.
“Anna, promise you’ll stay,” he whispered.
A long silence rent the air with indecision. He released her and she slid away, only a few inches, but there might as well have been a valley of broken dreams and wishes between them.

Sounds fascinating. I’ll check it out.
Thanks, Michelle. That’s what I thought. And it’s a short read, so good for a weekend!
Hi Olga! Sounds great for romance lovers… and free is fabulous. Have a wonderful weekend. Huge hugs
Indeed! Always good to have something free for the weekend. Have an amazing weekend!
Thank you for sharing, Olga! Sounds great.
Thanks so much. I liked the sound of it. Have a great weekend!
From the excerpt, I would say that this sort of romantic fiction is not my thing. However, it has a HUGE market, and remains one of the best selling genres in literature. Given her list of successes, I am sure that Ciara will do very well with her latest novel.
Best wishes, and have a good weekend. Pete.
Thanks Pete. I’m not a bit straight romance reader (you know what I mean by that. I remember when I was studying theory about movies and how they said whatever the underlying genre, it was quite common to have a romance somewhere in the story too, and I guess that’s true of books), but sometimes they hit the right spot. It’s also short. With second change type of books they also tend to makes us think of things we could have done differently. I guess we all have moments in life when we decided to do something and later we wonder, what if… Have a great weekend!
This sounds like just the read for romance lovers, Olga! And there’s a huge market out there. I wish I fell into that category, but your review is very enticing nonetheless. Poor Rosie knows I don’t select romance when she offers it – although once in a blue moon I’ll do it with difficulty.
Thanks, Noelle. I don’t read many romances either, but I’ve found some books that mix romance with mystery, adventures or other genres that I’ve really enjoyed. And some chick-lit if it’s on the humorous side can be therapeutic or a good break from more serious reading. For what I hear romance is not lacking in readers, for sure! Have a great weekend!
This book does read like a fun summer read. Thanks for the review. Hope all is well with you and your family. 🙂 xx
Thanks so much Vashti. You’re very kind. Everything well. I hope you and your family are enjoying the summer.
