Four years ago, Carlene Adams made a deadly mistake. A tragic accident derailed the future she'd hoped for, taking the life of the man she'd planned to spend forever with.
As a self-imposed penance for her solitary sin, Carlene has given up on every dream she ever had. She has committed to spend every remaining moment trying to make up for that one instance when everything changed.
Then she gets a second chance.
When Carlene meets Nick Johnson, the single kiss they share awakens the desires she shoved aside for so long. Suddenly she wants more than what she believe she deserves. Will she ever see him again? And if she does, what will that mean for her?
A thing of fate.
Leaving the life she built on regret, Carlene waits for fate
to intervene. But just as she begins to believe in a fresh start, she's forced
to realize a horrible truth—one with the power to send her second chance
crashing before it even takes off.
Nick isn't who she thought he was. She isn't the girl he
believed her to be, either. Their lives were intertwined even before they met,
and if Carlene tells him the truth, she’ll risk tearing them apart—for good.

REVIEW
I
really wanted to love this story from start to finish, but there were a few
nagging hang-ups that just couldn’t be ignored. Firstly, it was very
predictable. It moved quite quickly in the beginning, and there was a lot of
hinting at the past that haunted Carlene, and the reason she found herself in
her current position, which meant I never really connected with her character.
Things accelerated even more when Nick entered the picture, and then suddenly
the brakes were applied and that’s when I really started to enjoy this read
because I finally understood the characters a bit more.
This
story had a Cinderella feel to it as Carlene stepped out of the shadow of her
past and into an entire new world of riches, diamonds and the limelight. But,
unlike Cinderella, Carlene didn’t quite find her fairytale ending…or did she???
I’m not a huge fan of novellas and short stories, only because I find that they
are either crammed with too much info, or there’s just not enough to the story;
It’s almost like someone just chopped a full length novel in half. So, even
though this was a great book, I felt a little cheated when it ended so
abruptly.
The
ending, as sudden and unexpected as it was, was a great set up for the next
book, though. I am looking forward to finding out if Carlene will get her
fairytale moment, or if her past will continue to stand in the way of her
happiness.
