JUST WANTED YOU TO KNOW
Kait Nolan
Release Date: April 14
Livia Applewhite needs a change. Her awful boss has made the job she used to love a serious drag. On top of that, it seems everyone around her is paired off in romantic bliss. It's enough to give a girl a complex. Hoping a change of scenery will give her new perspective, she sets off for a two-week trip to Tennessee to visit her favorite cousin.
It's been more than a decade since Declan Callahan has thought about anything but being a dad. But when his extensive (and meddling) foster family wrangles him into a "chance" encounter with the first love he had to leave behind, he's wise enough not to waste it. He's got a long-overdue apology to make.
But as that apology opens a door long shut, Livia and Declan give in to the spell of nostalgia, basking as all those old feelings kindle anew. They're fully grown now, with lives in different places. Will this brief encounter be enough to convince Livia to give the undeniable connection between them a real second chance?

We are going to start off by saying that we love second chance romance reads and for Livia and Declan they both got a raw deal years ago but, it's time for Declan to clear the air between them and apologize for his part in not following through with a future he planned with his woman.
If we are being honest we have mixed feelings about this book. The reason things went so awry with Livia & Declan is that something happened years ago and it was one life changing event for Declan and he was young and scared and trying to do the right thing which is commendable and we loved and admired the man for those things alone. When even telling his story and apologizing to Livia she understood and she had her closure she might even forgive the man and move on or even realize that she still feels something for him. We just felt that his apology wasn't enough because he had the means to reach out to that woman over the years time and time again to explain himself and his actions and give them both some kind of closure years ago. but did not yet claim that she was the best thing to happen to him. In the present he has the opportunity for a second chance and it's clear he hasn't learned a thing from his past mistakes once again he is creating more heartache all over again.
Livie was a sweetheart bright and caring and had a beautiful soul and deserved more respect and honesty from the man who claims to be everything he wants.
The story for us was good but, we felt that something was lacking and missing and if we are being honest there was something about Declan that just fell short we liked him but, didn't love him and for us that the rub of it. For us the best part of a story is falling in love with our characters that we are reading about. Even though our thoughts were mixed we felt that Declan's daughter made the deciding factor on whether overall we enjoyed the story or one that just wasn't our cup of tea. She was such a sweetheart and encouraged and supported her father to find his own happiness. A daughters love is oh, so powerful...
