Gemma’s world is rocked when her fiance of seven years ends their relationship, and she convinces herself that true love doesn’t exist. That is, until she ends up on a work project with her ex girlfriend and first love, Celeste. 

After Celeste left the country seven years previously with no explanation, can Gemma keep it strictly professional? Especially when sparks start to fly? 

Second chance romance is my favourite trope, so that was already a hit for me. From the cover to the story, this was such a cute romance read (with spice sprinkled in of course). I enjoyed there being chapters for both of the FMCs as it added great perspective to the book. 

Gemma finding herself again after her engagement being called off was also a great part of the book for me, as it’s such an important thing to do in the modern age of dating, where you can find people at your fingertips. All in all, a wonderful sapphic romance story!
