Synopsis
Hollywood hath no fury like a woman scorned.
In this fun, flirty second-chance romance from New York Times bestselling author Sawyer Bennett, an aspiring starlet reconnects with her first love.
“Sawyer Bennett never fails to deliver heroes I fall hard for and heroines I adore.”—Violet Duke
Eden Goodnight went to Los Angeles to make it big, not to be publicly humiliated by her cheating fiancé at a red-carpet premiere. But when Eden returns to her hometown to put the scandal behind her, she can barely find a sympathetic shoulder to cry on. Turns out the locals are worse than the paparazzi, and they all think she’s turned into a spoiled brat. But in a strange twist of fate, the one person who seems to understand what Eden’s going through is Cooper Mayfield . . . the boy she left behind.
Small-town charm is no match for the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. At least that’s what Coop’s been telling himself all these years. As Eden’s old flame—and the landscaper for her family’s historic home—Coop feels some responsibility for getting her out of her funk. But as soon as he sees that million-dollar smile, he’s a goner. Soon they’re making out like teenagers again. But when a life-changing role falls into Eden’s lap, Coop just hopes she doesn’t give up on a love that’s meant to be.

Review
This is the second book in the Love Hurts series but each
can be read as a standalone.
Finding out her fiancé had been cheating on her and then
being jilted on the red carpet, hot Hollywood actress Eden Goodnight, flees the
limelight to lick her wounds back to her home town. However a surprise lays in
wait for her when she sets foot in her childhood home again. She’s gone from
one shocker to the next!
Coming back home and face to face with her first love, Coop,
she soon realises things have changed in her small town. After a relative short
time she also realises her feelings for Coop are not so deeply buried anymore.
I liked the small town feel of this relatively short read
and the conundrum of history repeating itself. I also liked the angst of her
feelings when the town appeared to be against her and I felt for Eden that it
near brought a tear to my eye.
Overall this was a pleasant and enjoyable quick read about
second chance love in a small town with a touch of glamour of Hollywood thrown
in. It didn’t have the depth and intensity of other books I have read by this
other but still a hot romance. Three and a half stars.
