ABOUT THE BOOK
One phone call was all it took to upend my entire life in completely unexpected ways.
Whoever said that you can’t go home again was a lair. After the senior year from hell, I had spent a decade trying to avoid Beacon Hill and its residents. My luck came to a sudden end after daddy had an incident with a rotted floor. In and out, I promised myself. I was just there to help my parents for a week or two tops.
Things in Beacon Hill hadn’t changed much since I’d been home last. Mama still worked at the hub of gossip known as Trixie’s, Mrs. Thomas still made the best chicken salad in all of Georgia, and my sister was still the devil in a pushup bra. And of course, the St. James family was still local royalty. Our very own version of the Kennedys.
Imagine my surprise when I discovered that, not only is my sister back in town after a failed modeling career, she’s also engaged to Macon St. James. The golden boy of Beacon Hill, and the star of every single one of my teenage fantasies.
The biggest surprise of all was Holden St. James. I thought he would be one of the villains in this story, but I was learning that I had been wrong about a lot of things. And Holden just might be worth coming home for….
MY REVIEW
Get ready for me to GUSH about this book. I have been in somewhat of a reading slump, not really enjoying the books I have been reading, but boy, did I enjoy this one!
I whole heartedly give this book 5 stars. I don’t give 5 stars often, but this one deserves it. Mayer writes a beautiful story, with moments that made me laugh and an incredible supporting friend in Maxine. Maxine is the girl that I want to be friends with, a true ride or die while also telling Sutton like it is. Sutton’s sister, Sissy, also had a friend, Skye, who reminded me of Alexis from Schitt’s Creek.
The romance in this story is delectable. Holden is subtle, and his interest in Sutton is subtle. There is no force, he isn’t overwhelming, he isn’t overbearing, it’s just the perfect amount of subtle. He made my heart swoon and melt multiple times. I seriously read this book with a smile plastered on my face. Holden’s use of terms of endearment sparely gave those terms so much power and feeling. There is a bit of a spicy scene towards the end, but it was so tasteful that it fit into the story perfectly.
Thanks Emily Mayor, you have provided me with a new book boyfriend. And I think he’s the most perfect book boyfriend that I have read. I didn’t want this book to end, I wanted to keep reading about these two. I cannot wait for the next book in this series because now I’m a forever reader of this author.
You’d be doing yourself a disservice if you didn’t check out this book here.
