Between the Flames

A second chance without all the fluff

Second chance romance can be so cliche, but this one wasn't at all and that's a great thing! No 200 pages of bs fluff where we have to watch the MC's dance around and screw everything up 20 times. This book has just enough angst to make my heart break, but not so much that I wanted to throw my kindle across the room. Ryder is the typical jock with the blonde girlfriend, Elle is the nerd with a crush. This book is a beautiful tribute to two people who actually do the right thing and put others before their feelings for each other. Flash forward 10 years and circumstances put them back in each others orbits. A.R. writes emotions in a way that you can't help but feel like you are part of the story, at least I can't. She also setup book 2 beautifully, I'm DYING to know what happens and on my way to get it downloaded as soon as I hit submit on this review.
