You Didn't Love Me Then by Lily Baines

 

Synopsis:

How do you fall for someone you've always loved?

Growing up twenty-five yards from each other in a small beach town, Luke Delaney was Libby Latimer’s best friend. The confident, protective boy whose arms were a haven in her tumultuous life. They were inseparable. Until she developed feelings that shattered the boundaries of their friendship.

Fifteen years later, Libby is a social worker who has strived to build herself a drama-free, heartache-less life. She’s content and intends to keep it that way. When Luke lands back in town, he seems as hot and unattainable as ever, turning her heart and mind into a battlefield. She never forgot what kissing him felt like or how it ended.

Air Marshal Luke Delaney thinks he has his life under control. After spending fifteen years literally up in the air, he returns to his hometown. A chance meeting with his former best friend rips the smooth veneer off his life, revealing essential parts of himself he thought he could live without.

Old feelings brew to the surface with each unavoidable encounter. New ones simmer. As their past and present collide, can they get a second chance, or is it years too late?

Review:

I liked this novel so much, it left me feeling all good inside.

Libby Latimer is a social worker, she lives in a lovely beach town. Luke Delaney is an air marshal who came back to California after he has worked around the world. They were the best of friends since they were young, but now they meet after 15 years at the police station and they don't know how and if they want to make up for lost time.

The story of Luke and Libby is nice and sweet, even if they reacquaint with each other really slowly they kept me interested the entire time because it seems even more real.

You Didn't Love Me Then is a well written second chance at love story, I recommend to read it and can't wait to get next book in the series.
