Release Date: July 21
Imagine lying in a hospital bed and the doctor who pulls the curtain back to treat you is the one who got away. Even if you never really had her in the first place. She’s not only your high school crush, she’s the ex-girlfriend of your ex-best friend. The one girl you’ve always wanted.
Here’s a step-by-step list to finally win her over…
Key to win #1: Try not to take offense that she snuck back into town without telling you—six months ago.
Key to win #2: Rekindle the friendship to ease the awkwardness. But… DO NOT enter the friend zone.
Key to win #3: Ignore the fact that she went speed dating the night before. Take it as good a sign—maybe she’s looking for a relationship.
Key to win #4: Attempt to keep the two of you out of the town gossip blog and away from your large family.
Make sure you don’t let this last one throw you off your mission.
Key to win #5: Don’t get deterred when you find out the past is about to repeat itself. Because the man she met at the speed dating night is your best buddy from work.
Just remember, you sat back and let her slip away once, you won’t do it a second time.
Failure is not an option.
Review by Jen Skewes
The Bailey series is one of my favorite series. I have fallen in love with each member of the Bailey family and their significant others. Throughout this series we have seen the true meaning of family. This is a tight knit family who is always there for each other. We have not only watched them fall in love but also seen them all grow as well. This is Kingston and Stella’s book and I could not wait for this one. We knew they had a history and that things ended badly for them, but we had no idea what that past was. Well now we get to find out everything that happened and why they have not spoken since Stella left town.
Kingston knew from the moment Stella walked into his classroom that he was in love with her. But they always remained best friends. It was always Kingston, Stella and their other best friend Owen. Until Owen and Stella started dating, leaving Kingston feeling heartbroken and therefore putting a wedge between them all. Stella did not want to come between the two best friends, and left town to go to college. When her mother need her help, she finds herself back in the small town that she grew up in. But just because she is back in town does not mean that she wants everyone to know, especially Kingston. She manages to hide it from him for a while until he finds himself in the hospital and Stella is his doctor. He shocked and not too happy with her. But at the same time all those feelings that he had for her are still there. Trying to win the heart of the only girl that you have ever loved, the one that got away, even if you never really had her in the first place, is not going to be easy. But Kingston is up for the challenge.
I loved Kingston and how much he loved Stella. He tried so hard to pretend that he was ok with her being back in town and dating his biddy from work. He also tried very hard to convince himself that being friends would be ok. But you knew that it was all a lie. You could feel how much he loved her and wanted a change with her. But they had a lot to work out before that could even happen. Those are the moments that I loved. Seeing the two of them opening u about their pasts, their feelings back then and what happened between them, are the moments that get you. Those are the emotional parts of the story. Especially when we go back in time and see how their story unfolded.
Piper Rayne doesn’t just give us the emotional side of this story, we still get to see the humor and wit that we all love. Kingston and Stella together have an undeniable chemistry. They just fit perfectly together. Their story was sweet and sexy. It had those moments where you hurt for them and the moments where you could not stop smiling even if you tried. It was everything I could have hoped for. We still get to see and catch up with the rest of the family which I love. And of course, there is no shortage of Dori’s antics. Another great Bailey book. I cannot wait for the next one.
