Claire McKenna knows about the loss. The bullet wound that ended her promising professional tennis career has led her to lead a quiet life working with fabric samples, chatting with her book group, and spending time with her parents in her peaceful coastal Connecticut hometown. Then there was her boyfriend who abandoned her to pursue her adventurous childhood friend. Now, Claire’s business is struggling financially, but she’s up to the challenge. After all, she can survive anything. At least she thinks so… until her teenage crush, Logan, returns to town with his sister, Claire’s treacherous friend.

Photographer Logan Prescott is more of a playboy than a family member. But his sister’s illness teaches him that there’s more to life than chasing the next thrill. Determined to help her win Claire’s forgiveness, he seduces Claire and gives her large sums to renovate his multi-million dollar New York City apartment.

After years of playing it safe, Claire now has to take some risks. The rewards can be huge, but if it all comes crashing down, will her heart be able to recover from another loss?

After reading “Memories of You”, I was excited to learn about the next book in the series. What an interesting story with these childhood friends and a bit of realism when it comes to lost friendships! Love how the story unfolds from the first book to this one. Can’t wait to read the third part! This series definitely got me hooked and wanted to know more!!

Jamie Beck’s exploration of tragic circumstances and their consequences for humans is fun to listen to. Claire is a somewhat pitiful character, but understandable given the violence she’s experienced and the need for her cane, Rosie.

Dara Rosenberg’s voice and slanted reading make a good book great.

It’s one of those books where I sometimes go back to certain chapters to try to relive the feeling I first felt.

Jamie, you have an incredible talent that allows me to experience what is happening in each of your stories!!! Love your writing style. A very good love story Teen love 1 good time sometimes not but this is my good teenage love It’s still going 58 years Thank you
