You Didn't Know Me Then by Lily Baines








Synopsis:


Chemistry pulls them together. Falling in love might tear them apart.

Hope Hays, a divorced mother of two, has finally tested the waters in the dating world. But her first excruciating attempt at flirting combusts—the failed experiment even more humiliating as it is witnessed by a handsome stranger.

Political advisor Jordan Delaney swam with D.C. sharks until he bled. Now licking his wounds in his hometown, he is reluctantly intrigued by the quirky redhead chatting up a bartender with obscure chemistry facts.

In this small-town meetings are unavoidable and Jordan finds Hope’s awkward sincerity refreshing after the poker faces of politics. He falls for her the more he knows her, fearing she’d like him less if she knew him more. Hope falls for the man who makes her feel seen even though she’s certain someone like him would never want a single mother’s unglamorous life.

Their undeniable chemistry is an inflammable combination, but her scars and a secret from his past threaten to burn them both down.

Review:


You Didn't Know Me Then is the second book set in the small town of Riviera View, it was a very charming read with a gorgeous writing and well developped characters.

Hope Hays has dicorced from few years but she thinks now it's time to start going out again and meet a nice man. She soon understands she isn't cut out to the flirting game, but she unexpectly has captured Jordan Delaney attention with her entertaining words vomit.

Hope is a friend of the heroine of You Didn't Love Me Then and Jordan is the brother of the hero, so I've already met them and they seemed two good characters but reading their own story made me like them even more.

Hope is a very sweet woman and a great mom. Jordan is a good man, he only had to remember how to live among common people and not cutthroat politicians and to begin to trust people more. They have had very different experience in life, she always lived in a small town, she is a teacher and a mom and he worked in Washington DC as a political advisor. Their differences made their relationship intriguing, it was a pleasure to discover how well-matched they were. They unexpectly share a good connection and chemistry that kept me glued to my reader.

This book is a must read for all who enjoy small town romance.
