Never Have I Ever by S.L. Scott

5.0

“I will choose you every time. In every lifetime. Our past, present, and future. I will never discount the power of destiny again.”

“Never Have I Ever” by S.L. Scott is a second chance, enemies-to-lovers standalone with a broody rock star, a mystery from the past, and the kind of chemistry that refuses to stay buried. It’s packed with tropes you’ll love—grumpy/sunshine, forced proximity, and a forgotten romance that refuses to be forgotten.

Poppy and Laird shared one unforgettable weekend that ended with big promises—and an even bigger heartbreak. When she didn’t show the next morning, Laird was crushed and convinced it all meant nothing to her. What he didn’t know? Poppy had been in a serious accident and lost every memory of their time together.

Two years later, they’re unexpectedly reunited when Poppy is hired as his private chef. She has no idea why he’s so cold to her, and he has no clue she doesn't remember a thing. But as they clash, connect, and piece things together, it’s clear their story isn’t over. 

I loved how this story mixed tension, heart, and just the right amount of heat. Poppy is the kind of character you instantly want to be friends with—fun, fierce, and full of heart. And Laird? He’s all broody rock star with a soft side he’s trying way too hard to hide. Watching these two circle each other, trade barbs, and slowly unravel their truth and feelings was pure entertainment. If you're into second chances with a little chaos and a lot of heart, this one brings it.

Thank you @s.l.scott and @hambright_pr for the gifted ebook arc.  All opinions expressed are my own.
