Second Chance Summer by

My rating:
3 of 5 stars
This had a super slow start. Anyway, Lily left town after experiencing a tragedy. Her sister died doing something she shouldn't have and her father had a heart attack at the funeral and died. Lily is back in town because the saloon where she worked fired her for leaking the name of a celebrity client. Lily had done so at the behest of her boss (and boyfriend) and when it backfired, she was thrown under the bus. She has had a crush on Aidan for a long time, but nothing really came of it, because her sister had a huge crush on him too. It turns out, Aidan feels the same for Lily.
Aidan is a firefighter, works in search and rescue, and also helps his siblings out on the resort they own. Aidan has a lot of siblings; his father was busy (with more than 1 woman) and there is background there with an asshole father.
I thought Lily focused too much on the past and what was. She does gradually look forward. I had a hard time connecting with her. The romance fell a bit flat.
