I love second chance romances and this was up there with the best that I've read.
Cammie and Dalton were head over heels with each other, only they weren't secure in what they thought the other felt for them. Cammie's dad was a cop who was killed while off duty in a store robbery saving the life of a young girl. Her life crashed, and her mother crashed too - becoming emotionally withdrawn from life and from Cammie. Dalton's home life was crappy and didn't realise what love and respect truly looked like, from neither Cammie nor his peers at the time. Misunderstanding and miscommunication form the basis of them parting.
Written from both POV with flash backs, the build up to Cammie and Dalton's 10 year class reunion is intense. Both allude to the event that parted them. Cammie speaks of betrayal, while Dalton has no idea what it was he did - she just stopped talking to him, and he in his immaturity let her go and moved on with his life plans, ultimately becoming an undercover cop, but couldn't move on from her. Cammie also hasn't moved on, and admits as much on the radio program that she assist-produces for, an admission that Dalton hears on the radio.
At the reunion, Kristy recites the 10 year old code words signaling Dalton's eyes upon Cammie, "The eagle has landed. Hard. Crash landed."
This time round, Dalton is not going to waste time communicating his feelings and thoughts to Cammie. He is, though, flabbergasted when Cammie admits to having loved him since forever. When, he'd asked her back then to define their relationship, she was less than enthusiatic he'd thought: "I was totally lying...I was just trying to play it cool..." And Dalton replies "Well I'm a guy. And guys believe what you tell them. We're not good with hints, or beating around the bush, or any of that sh*t. We ask a question, you give an answer, the end."
Their reconnection is passionate and funny, going from strength to strength in between the stresses of their respective jobs but it works - until Cammie is forced to question her strength is risking love against loss, and the resulting conversation that Kristy enforces between mother and daughter is beautiful. And emotional. Cammie is lucky to have a best friend in Kristy who is loyal, sexy, witty and funny, and has her back. Dalton's partner, Tucker, also is hilarious and thinks he's got women sussed, "Girls always think they know what they want, when really it's just some crazy-ass test they're putting us through. Bitches are always setting us up to fail." LMAO!!!!
This story is the first I've read of J. Sterling, and is emotional and funny, and a really great read. I hit it in one sitting and cried and laughed. I've already one-clicked my next one. I highly recommend this book.
