Review: Second Chance Summer

Second Chance Summer by Jill Shalvis
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.
