her get away from him again. But can he convince her their past will be a solid

Reviews
This story has so many positives. Nick is a great guy who carries his
heartbreak on his sleeve. He seems determined to win Jennie’s heart, no matter
what it takes. Jennie, meanwhile, is trying desperately to protect her heart,
promising herself she was not going to allow herself to love again. To watch
these two previous lovers rekindling their past was such fun. The heat between
them was irresistible, and as they unleashed their passion, there was no doubt
they would have a future.
4 stars - Long and Short Reviews
Homecoming is a short and sweet romance with some yummy sex scenes
thrown in for good measure. The characters were great, the setting was
interesting and the plot was entertaining.

The story is easy going; two ex lovers (but not consummated, as you will find out) find each other again. There is the fear of being hurt again, the fear of what the other will think and the fear of hoping again. Will they find the happiness and love that they are looking for? What I like is that they could talk to each other easy enough, even after 10 years apart. I liked that even if this was a short story it had a little action.

Casting Call
Excerpt
“Unbelievable.” Had Madame Eve divined
Jennie’s vision of Nick to conjure him for her? A better version of the boy she
knew; wow, he looked incredible.
He slowly scrutinized her. “It’s been a
long time.”
Had she changed so much? The way he
stared made her self-conscious. “I thought you were married?”
“Divorced last year.” He dropped his
gaze, but pierced her again with those intense dark eyes. “I thought you were
married?”
“I left him last year. The divorce was
final six months ago.” She sounded as if someone had punched her. So much for
her brave front.
“So. Is this your first time using Madame
Eve’s 1 Night Stand?”
“Yes.” And the last. No more blind dates.
“What about you?” She could only imagine the women dying to share his bed. Why
would he need a matchmaking service?
He flashed a grin. “I thought I’d long
ago run out of firsts, but yes.”
How sad. As a teenager, she’d dreamed
about sharing all those firsts with him, every new experience a new bond
between them.
She took it all in: the cheery fire in
the stone hearth, the candles lining the mantle and atop the small round table
set with a white linen tablecloth, the champagne chilling in the tall ice
bucket, the immense leather sectional sofa with an ottoman large enough for two
people to...
Imagining herself and Nick entangled atop
it, a flash flood of heat singed her.
As if sensing her apprehension, he
advanced slowly toward her. “I ordered dinner for us.”
“I’ve lost my appetite.” Something about
this felt too much like a setup.
“Then let’s start with a drink. We have a
lot to catch up on.”
