About Just One More Time
Aiden is the wandering son of the Sterling clan. Years ago, he became a traveling journalist reporting stories around the world. He has been in war torn countries, weather ravaged countries and many other situations. Sadly, he left behind his heart when he left.
Brooke is the daughter of woman who helped Alex Sterling raise his children. She and her mom live in the carriage house behind the Sterling home. She and Fallon Sterling grew up together, went to college together and remain best friends to this day. Years ago, after one very special night, she had her heart broken by the one person she loved.
When Aiden returns home to help run the family business while his brother Jared takes some time off to be with his wife and newborn baby, he is forced to work directly with the woman who stole his heart many years ago. He is still in love with her and on a mission to rekindle their relationship. But he has his work cut out for him.
Brooke is not on the same page as Aiden. Since she knows she is going to have to work with him every day, she decides it is time to move on from him. So she agrees to let Fallon set her up on a date. Although the man is very nice, moving on from Aiden is going to be harder than she thought. She is comparing every man she goes out with to him.
Aiden is not fooling around when it comes to winning back Brooke. So when she calls him when the plumbing in the carriage house is not working, he goes out of his way to get someone out there right away. The bad news is it will require some major repair work. The good news is that means Brooke, and her mom Lizzie, will be moving in to the main house while the repairs are being made.
Aiden is thinking close proximity will further her case with her, but what he is not expecting is for her to put the brakes on. Instead, they rekindle their friendship from their younger years. They spend time talking and getting to know each other again. They also discuss what happened in the past. Until the past is resolved, they cannot move forward.
But when a threat follows Aiden home, it is no longer a threat just to him. It has now become a threat to his family and Brooke.
Will history repeat itself or will he have learned from his past mistakes?
Impressions
It is so hard to get over your first love. I understand why Brooke feels the way she does. But her and Aiden really need to talk to each other. When that finally happens, it is an eye opening experience for Brooke. He did not leave her to go on some grand adventure. There is so much more behind his reasons.
There are a couple of places in the story where I just want to slap Aiden silly. After making such a huge mistake years ago, one would think he would have learned not to make unilateral decisions that impact others. But no. When he tries to do that again to Brooke, she puts her foot down.
Years ago, Brooke was too timid to stand up to Aiden and his decision to become a traveling journalist and leave everyone behind. But this time, she flat out tells him she is coming with him. I love that!!! You tell him Brooke.
