An all new second chance love story by the
New York Times Bestselling
author of the Driven series.
It all started with the invitation. To my ex-fiance’s new wedding.
I should have ignored it.Thrown it away. Set it afire. But I didn’t. I replied.
With a plus one.
And then my assistant accidentally mailed it.
Enter Hayes Whitley. Mega-movie star. The man who has captured the hearts of millions. But I gave him mine years ago. He was my first love. He was my everything. Right until he up and left to chase his dreams without so much as a simple goodbye.
When he showed up out of the blue ten years later, I should have known to steer clear. I should have rejected his offer to take me to my ex’s wedding. I should have never let him kiss me.
But I didn’t.
And now we’re left wondering if the pieces of the life we once shared still fit together somehow. First loves are hard to forget. The question is, do we want to forget? Or do we risk the chance and see what happens next?
The previous K. Bromberg books I have read have been fairly angsty and dealt with some heavy emotions. Sweet Cheeks is different! Not to say there wasn’t some angst, but its nothing like the Driven series. It was kind of unexpected in the best possible way.
Saylor (LOVE the name!) dumped her fiancé just before their scheduled wedding. 6 months later, she gets an invitation to his wedding to someone else. Of course, she checks she will attend and is bringing a date. Not that she has one. Her meddling brother calls in a favor from his best friend, who happens to be a famous actor now. Oh, and the man who broke Saylor’s heart years ago when he left her for his Hollywood dreams.
I kind of hated Hayes from the beginning. He is a bit of a douche canoe. Kind of pompous and arrogant and self centered. I wasn’t sure I could ever forgive him for just leaving without so much as a “Its been real” for Saylor. I think I hated him more because I adored her.
Overall, this is a well written, engaging second chance love story. I really wanted them to get their HEA!
Side note: The audio version is narrated by Andi Arndt and Sebastian York. That is going to be one awesome listen!

Sweet Cheeks
I’ve yet to try anything by Bromberg but it looks like this might be the one to start with. I love dual 1st POV and Saylor sounds like an awesome character!
This is less angsty than her Driven series, so it might be a good start!
Thanks for the review, Samantha! While Hayes sounds like a douche, I’m still curious about him. It’s going on my maybe list. 🙂
He was only douche-y at first! He is quite charming actually!
