Second True Love by Vikki Jay
5.0
Clementine comes from wealth, but with that wealth come a sheltering from the outside world. Her well-meaning siblings coddle her, and her mother doesn't want her to leave the family home until she has been married off to someone suitable. At 25, she has just scored her dream job with a fashion designer and desperately wants to prove herself, even if it means going out on her own without her family's support.
Keith is a security specialist who has been chasing the ghost of his wife for ten years, and his relationship with her 13 year old daughter, Merida, has suffered for it. When he reluctantly does a favor for a friend, and rents the loft space in his home to a woman he has never met, he comes to regret it almost instantly.
Clementine is the very definition of a sunshine character! Her naivety is endearing rather than annoying simply because she so desperately wants to learn and become her own person. Keith's grief and aloofness is slowly chipped away throughout this book, and the transformation process has its ups and downs, and is very raw and real.
This book had everything; it has mystery and intrigue, it has the slow burn of a great romance, and it has personal growth amongst each character. It was enjoyable and realistic, it made you laugh and cry, and I loved the entire journey!
