Blurb
When Phillip Blackthorne secures his title as Harvard’s most mischievous co-ed with a prank that makes the campus newspaper, he also loses his first love and complete opposite, Ashley Catherine Cartwright.
Twelve years later, another of Phillip’s stunts goes wrong when his runaway golf cart crashes through Ashley’s charity event on live TV. Their reunion goes viral—not only for the classic car he’s forced to donate, but the sparks that everyone but Ashley can see.
Phillip is determined to win her heart again, but his shot at a second chance is doomed if Ashley refuses to see that life’s unexpected hurdles can be the best part of a happily ever after.

My Thoughts <3
I will start by saying that I was SO not a fan of Phillip in the beginning of this book, but as everything was laid out and we even saw him growing as a person, I definitely started to swoon just a bit. Ashley on the other had, I freaking loved her from the beginning!
This book was an interesting premise. It is a second chance romance but with a lot at stake and a short time to get everything done. Having the dual POVs was crucial to see exactly what each character was thinking at the time. Their reconnecting seemed a little sudden and not too much communication was going on, but it was still and enjoyable read!
All in all, I enjoyed reading this book. It took me a little time to warm up to our main man, but once i did, I was all in! Philip was an extremely caring man, he just tended to joke about stuff more than dealing with it, but quickly changed his tune. I also really liked that he was the ying to Ashley’s yang and they just fit together, even though it didn’t seem as if they would. The secret that is happening between the patriarch and the matriarch of the Blackthornes also gets more and more intriguing and has me wondering what is going to happen.
If you enjoy books a bit on the faster side with a helping of second chance and strong chemistry, I recommend checking out the book!
I received an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly.
Meet the Blackthorne men, each one as hot, fast, and smooth as the whisky that built the family fortune, and yachts and race cars that bear their name. From proud Scottish stock, Blackthornes never lose. But, one by one, the seven sexy men in this family are about to risk everything when they fall for strong and beautiful women who test their mettle in life…and love.
