She’s all too familiar with betrayal and feeling second best. He regrets his selfish playboy days leaving the one woman he loved behind. Can they put their pasts behind them and move toward a future before another scandal breaks them apart?

Raine

Betrayal is never easy, but when it strikes under the guise of intimacy, it’s a low blow. It’s more difficult when it destroys my reputation and takes my job.

But I’ve got skills and I’m forging ahead toward my new path in my hometown.

When I cross paths with a former flame, I’m knocked for a loop. This time around he’s trying to steal my heart instead of just hit a home run.

Jackson is a baseball jock, turned ruggedly handsome bearded Adonis who can take me to third base in the blink of an eye.

Can I trust my heart with someone again or will it ultimately lead to another betrayal?

Jackson

I hurt the only woman I ever cared about, lost my chance at the big leagues, and now I’m trying to live down my past.

I’ve changed my ways, ditched the playboy life and become a better man.

When the woman I’ve pined for since college reappears in my life, sparks fly, and I know I’ve got to win her back.

Raine is a sassy, smart bookworm who doesn’t shy away from speaking her mind.

Can I win her trust, or will I strike out when scandal strikes?



This is a small-town curvy girl romance. Guaranteed happily ever after with no cheating

I volunteered to read this ARC for an honest review. I enjoyed this quick story about Raine and Jackson. They were friends and even dated, but she was always his second choice, after baseball. Now she's home healing from political and relationship scandal. When she runs into Jackson again. The spark is still there but past hurts may derail their future. Great HEA after the truth is revealed.

I loved Power of Love, book 3 in the Soulmates for the Sinclairs by Piper Cook. After a devastating betrayal, Raine lost her job, and her reputation so she has come home to regroup and start over. Reuniting with her past love, Jackson was not part of her plans. Jackson and Raine dated during college but he constantly left her baseball and other girls. Now that Raine is home he is hoping she will give them another chance.

Raine and Jackson used to date each other. Now she has come home and decides to run for mayor of her small town. Running into Jackson, will she give him a second chance? Will he have to prove himself first? Or will she put all of her attention on her new job aspirations and keep the past in the past?

Another home run from Piper Cook.

Raine has good reason not to trust Jackson but the now reformed playboy who swept her off her feet in high school is determined to reclaim the heart of the girl who got away. He knows it won’t be easy but Raine is the home run his heart has always yearned for. Loved this short, steamy, sweet story.

I received this as an arc for my honest review

This was probably my favorite book of the series. I loved second chance romance and this was a good short one of those. The characters were believable and felt real. I liked this book.

Great book

Raine left DC after a snake stole her speech and claimed it as his own. She comes back to her hometown and she bumps into her old crush Jackson. She's worried that he will be the same guy he was in the past. I loved how he proved himself to her.
