Blurb
When tragedy strikes, Seth Stewart is forced to return home after the death of his beloved father. The unexpected detour forces him to oversee the family’s auto shop and restaurant business, and Seth must kiss the prestigious internship goodbye after his first year at Berkeley Business School. When he collides with his first crush after his arrival, Seth wonders what possibly could have happened to Josefina Anders.
Josefina has hidden many secrets she is too ashamed to share with anyone, especially Seth. When they cross paths again, the urge to relive their past lingers in her mind even though she knows he couldn’t accept her sketchy past. Things get even more complicated when her mother returns, as well as her overly possessive ex, who decides to crash into her fragile existence all over again.
Will Seth’s connection for Josefina be strong enough to see past her secrets, or will he realize he can’t rekindle an old flame? 


Excerpt


“Are you nervous, Mr. Stewart?” She smirked. Her eyes were beaming playfully.
     “No, not at all.” My pitch came off higher than I had expected, and I was upset with myself. I had to fix that. “I mean—” I cleared my throat. Two can play at this game, I thought. I squared my shoulders and sat up tall. “So, Josefina Anders, let me ask you some questions before I decide if I want to hire you.”
     Her brows lifted, most likely wondering if I was being serious or joking. Dropping her crossed leg, she pulled the chair closer to the table. Josie pulled a piece of paper out of an envelope that I hadn’t seen a second ago, tucked away behind her back. She placed a resume on my desk. “Ask away.”
     “How long have you been a waitress?”
     “As long as I can remember. I got hired right after high school.” She pointed to her resume. “You can see that I’ve only worked at a few places, but I’m loyal and a good employee.”
     “You’ve been a waitress for a long time, Ms. Anders. Do you think you’ll ever get sick of it?”
     “Not if it means I get to see Mr. Stewart.” Her lips curled wickedly.
     “Do you wear thongs or granny panties?”
     Josie’s lips puckered, stopping herself from busting up. “Mostly thongs, but I’m not wearing anything under my skirt at the moment.”
     Holy shit! I was trying to make her blush, but this was backfiring. Ignoring her last words, though it was extremely difficult to do, since all I could do was envision her with her skirt off, I continued, “Do you like to be on top or bottom?”
     “I will be in whatever position pleases Mr. Stewart. I’m very flexible.”

ALPHA BOOK CLUB REVIEW


“Brad gave me the most hideous, malicious smirk, letting me know he was more than satisfied.  I wanted to take of of the knives from his group of deadbeats and rip his heart out, just like head with mine.”

5 big, huge, fat stars!!  This book was so well written and flowed so flawlessly well!  I was hooked from page one!!  The characters were well developed and the plot wasn’t predictable at all!  Bravo!!!

When tragedy strikes, Seth Stewart is forced to return home after the death of his beloved father. The unexpected detour forces him to oversee the family’s auto shop and restaurant business, and Seth must kiss the prestigious internship goodbye after his first year at Berkeley Business School. When he collides with his first crush after his arrival, Seth wonders what possibly could have happened to Josefina Anders.

Josefina has hidden many secrets she is too ashamed to share with anyone, especially Seth. When they cross paths again, the urge to relive their past lingers in her mind even though she knows he couldn’t accept her sketchy past. Things get even more complicated when her mother returns, as well as her overly possessive ex, who decides to crash into her fragile existence all over again.

Will Seth’s connection for Josefina be strong enough to see past her secrets, or will he realize he can’t rekindle an old flame?

The book starts with Josie while she’s six years old.  And while Josie is a sweet little girl she has a massive secret.  After a few years Josie is done running from her secrets and is now living with a friend from high school.  And soon she runs back into Seth, her first love.  Just when she thinks her life is going swimmingly, her past comes back to haunt her again.  Will their love survive the secrets from the past??  This book had me laughing and crying, it’s an absolute emotional roller coaster but I completely enjoyed the ride!!  Excellent read.
