Genre: Contemporary Romance
About The Layover:
Macy Monroe has spent two years living and
working in Rome, dreaming about moving back home to Port City. That dream
finally comes true when her assignment ends and she finds a new job and new
apartment back in the States. As a last hurrah in Europe, she books a layover
in Paris for a long weekend full of sightseeing and all the baguettes and
cheese she can eat. But her plan hits a snag when a hotel snafu leaves her
stranded by the Seine with nowhere to stay.
Fate steps in when she runs into Beckett McLane,
her ex-boyfriend from college. He’s in town working on his next novel and
offers her a place to stay. Beckett’s the kind of handsome that you never
really forget, and Macy’s heart is still a little broken from the breakup.
Without any other options, she reluctantly takes him up on the offer.
Macy encourages work-obsessed Beckett to take a
much-needed break from his laptop, and as he shows her around town, they get
caught up in the romantic City of Light. When they’re together, it’s easy to
forget that Macy’s only on a layover and their time together is running out…
Exclusive Excerpt:
I kick a pebble across the sidewalk, then
stand and rummage through my bag to fish out a jacket. It’s early spring and
the region has been unseasonably warm, but tonight there’s a chilly breeze.
Not wanting to put my phone down, I awkwardly
cradle it against my chin as I try slipping my arm through the sleeve. I almost
have my other arm through when my phone breaks free and crashes against the
ground.
I reach for it quickly; it’s my only lifeline
right now. I must go for it at the same time someone else does, because our
heads crack together with what feels like an ungodly force.
The guy manages to get the phone, while I
stand and clamp my hand against my forehead, trying to get my bearings.
“I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean to...”
His voice trails off, either because I am
severely concussed or because my stomach doing somersaults turned off blood
flow to my brain. Because I’d know that voice anywhere. It’s whispered my name
between kisses, yelled at me when I was being a little too stubborn. It’s
comforted me when I was crying, and used to be my favorite sound in the world.
Until its owner used it to break up with me
going on four years ago now.
He’s still gorgeous as ever, and the years
since I’ve seen him have definitely been more than kind.
“Macy?” he asks, the confusion on his face
melting into that crooked smile I used to dream about.
“Hi Beckett.”
What a cute quick read about second chance romance. Before returning to the states, Macy decides to spend some time in Paris only to literally run into someone she never thought she'd see again. Fate steps in and brings Macy face to face with her true love, Beckett. Can these two people find what they lost and make lasting memories in the city of love? 4 stars ~Tasha~
