Synopsis

Rhys Powell and Derek Scott are divorcing. Mistakes have been made, lines have been crossed, and there’s no going back. Both men are exhausted and ready to move on.

But their daughter is getting married soon. In the name of not putting a damper on her wedding, Derek and Rhys agree to keep the divorce on the down-low and show up as the happy couple everyone still believes they are.

And between a roller coaster of a road trip and the love and joy surrounding the wedding… Derek and Rhys just might remember why they fell for each other in the first place.

Are they only kidding themselves? Or can a rekindled spark really light the way to forgiveness?

Review

Reviewed by ButtonsMom2003

A good, angsty story.

I know a lot of readers don’t like cheating in their romance stories but there is no on-page cheating in this one and the offender is truly, sincerely, remorseful. I know real life couples who have managed to repair their relationship after one of them cheated. While I love reading romance for the escape from everyday life it gives me, I don’t mind reading a story that is somewhat more realistic – like this one. Besides that, the focus of this story is remorse and eventually reconciliation.

The story is told in first person POV, alternating between Rhys and Derek. While first person isn’t usually my favorite POV, L.A. Witt knows how to do this very well and I love that she alternates between the two MCs.

Derek and Rhys are divorcing but still living together for several reasons. When they learn that their daughter is getting married, they agree to act as if their relationship is still OK so as not to ruin her wedding. A road trip to get to the wedding location stirs up a lot of unresolved things and it looks like they might be able to reconcile.

I loved how romantic the story got when Derek finally understands what his going to miss after Rhys leaves. They both know it won’t be easy to start again but they are committed to getting their relationship back on track.

The epilogue that gives us a look at Rhys and Derek a year down the road was great. It let us know that the road to reconciliation and a new HEA wasn’t fast or easy – at all.

About Author

L.A. Witt

L.A. Witt is an abnormal M/M romance writer who has finally been released from the purgatorial corn maze of Omaha, Nebraska, and now spends her time on the southwestern coast of Spain. In between wondering how she didn’t lose her mind in Omaha, she explores the country with her husband, several clairvoyant hamsters, and an ever-growing herd of rabid plot bunnies. She also has substantially more time on her hands these days, as she has recruited a small army of mercenaries to search South America for her nemesis, romance author Lauren Gallagher, but don’t tell Lauren. And definitely don’t tell Lori A. Witt or Ann Gallagher. Neither of those twits can keep their mouths shut…
