AUTHOR BIO:

Taryn discovered her love for books at an early age, spending many hours lost in someone else's story.

It wasn't until well into adult hood that she discovered, late at night while the house was quiet, that she had just as many stories inside her just waiting to be let out. Writing has been a way for her to step away from reality and live a bit through her fun and sometimes damaged characters. You will almost always find a Happy Ever After at the end of her stories. She can't help it, it's an addiction.

She's a Southwestern girl living a Mid-Atlantic life with her husband of seventeen years and two incredible daughters who inspire her daily. She is proud to be an advocate for her child with autism, and feels incredibly blessed to be able to see the world through her eyes. Her daughters teach her more than she could ever teach them.

She enjoys reading, writing and spending time with her family, but cherishes those quiet nights after everyone is asleep when she can curl up on the couch with her sixteen year old dog. (Shh, don't tell...He's not supposed to be on the couch.)
Keep an eye out for more from her!

My review

Four stars for this second chance love story

Abby saw something one night that caused her to take off for college early without saying goodbye to Jay. Trying to protect her heart, she decides that a clean break is in order and severs all contact with him.

After finally confessing his feelings, Jay is lost and confused when Abby suddenly takes off without a goodbye to him and their relationship. Even more confused when she avoids him completely.

Fast forward four years and these two are stuck on a Caribbean cruise together with a little finagling on Jay's part. Can they work through their problems? Or will they let the past win?

I thought this was a short and sweet read. I loved that Jay was determined to win Abby back. He knew what he wanted and was willing to fight for it. And I love to see karma come full circle. All in all, this is the perfect book to read while sitting on the beach or poolside on a cruise.
