5 SMOOCHES!

SYNOPSIS:

A sweeping, second chance standalone romance!

I was pretty good at living without regrets until a way too close call during a skydive. Instead of my life flashing before my eyes, I saw one face, one regret that’s been gnawing at me ever since–Presley. The woman I loved madly ten years ago. The woman I had to walk away from.

At first, all I want is to sort out why I can’t get her out of my head. But as soon as I see Presley again, I know I have to win her back at any cost. Brilliant, captivating and utterly beautiful, she’s the one I want.

Fate steps in when we’re asked to pair up to find a treasure in art and antiques. It’s an opportunity I can’t pass up–to uncover a path back to the woman I let get away while we chase down a love story a hundred years in the making.

Trouble is, Presley is tougher now, more wary, and she’s been hurt. By me. So it’s going to take a whole lot more than one hot kiss and a wild adventure together to convince her to give me a second chance.

REVIEW:

Second-chance romances are among my favorite trope to read. I love everything about them, from those yearning emotions of lost love to the sweet promise of the chance to find it again. What was special about P.S. It’s Always Been You was that this was a twofer of sorts, a love story within a love story, and I was completely wrapped up in both of them.

Young lovers, Presley, an art historian, and Hunter, an adventurer, make promises of forever on the eve of Hunter’s departure on an expedition. His plans change with a super-secret, once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that will have him in far-off places and out of communication for months on end, forcing him to make the decision to sever their relationship. A confused and hurt Presley is left behind to pick up the pieces of her shattered heart and start over. Ten years later, the project of a lifetime lands in her lap, but it comes with one heck of a surprise caveat. Her partner on this project is none other than adventurer extraordinaire, Hunter.

P.S. It’s Always Been You was a dual romance rich in intrigue and interest with the twist of a treasure hunt. I was all in as Presley and Hunter reconnected and rekindled their love while chasing the clues of Edward and Greta’s grand love story. I’ll admit I wasn’t Hunter’s biggest fan at first, but he worked to redeem himself to Presley—and me—as he realized the true weight of the regret he carried with him over his part in the demise of their young love. He was determined not to let this woman slip through his fingers a second time, and his swoon-worthy efforts to win her over made my heart race.

An adventurous, exciting, slow-burn romance, P.S. It’s Always Been You delivers two grandly romantic love stories within its pages. Full of charming details and teeming with the thrill of the hunt, I was completely captivated by this story as I raced through it right along with Hunter and Presley. Five smooches from me for P.S. It’s Always Been You by Lauren Blakely!
