**Received ARC for a fair and honest review** I LOVED Jilted, definite 5 star review for me. I couldn't put this book down, really sucked me in from the beginning and kept me in until the very end. This is book 2 in the Love Hurts series. It is a stand alone, no ties to the first book in the series. I loved the characters in this story, loved their chemistry, if you like hot and steamy you will not be disappointed.

Eden Goodnight and Coop Mayfield were highschool sweethearts, she went against her grandmother that was her guardian after her parents died and went to college with Coop. When they were out a modeling scout noticed her and contacted her and it changed the course of their lives. Through distance and time their relationship couldn't hold up and they ended things amicably. They both move on with their lives, but when Eden finds out that her fiance cheated on her she ran back home where nobody could find her, but things weren't as she was expecting, nor was Coop expecting Eden to come back and they are both in for a shock and some surprises!

I usually can find something to knit pick so that I can give the positive and negative to a story, but for me I couldn't find anything I didn't like. The story flowed, it grabs you and sucks you in from the beginning, the situations felt realistic instead of extremely far fetched, and at the end of the story where some end and leave you feeling like it ended in the middle of something or just end and give you nothing, that doesn't happen either... I loved this book... Happy Reading!!

An enjoyable, quick read! I'm always a sucker for a second chance love story- Eden and Coop were a perfect match! Loved their history and very real chemistry.

I loved this book and didn't put it down once I had started reading.
When I started reading, I was furious when I read about Eden's cheating fiancé and then, to top it all off, this husband...well. "Spitting mad" might also be a fitting description.

What I really loved about this book though, was the way the characters interacted. Sure, there was a typical misunderstanding resulting in people hating others but once it became clear that it had been a misunderstanding, everything was alright. No maybes about it, just simple acceptance and things were alright.

And I loved that both, the heroine and the hero had moved on. They had been very much in love, still are, obviously but it is a mature love now and it was one even when they were still young and life happened and drew them apart. Somehow this makes you realize even more, how much those two belong together.

Oookay, right, maybe you don't realize that right at the beginnning because there might be a time or two when there are some rather interesting decorations on the lawn and the drive but, well, nobody said that love was perfect, right? Some, let's say minor disagreements and such are totally in order when so much time has passed and things happened and - well.

I really enjoyed this story with its wonderful and complex characters. I already read many books by Sawyer Bennnett and I must admit that I didn't even read the blurb, I just knew that I wanted to read this book - and I wasn't disappointed.
This is another wonderful story by an amazing author that I can definitely recommend.

Eden and Coop....sigh. I loved these two characters so hard. They had their moments where I wanted to shake some sense into each one, but I also laughed, cried, and fell in love right along with them! Absolutely LOVED it!

Huge Sawyer Bennett fan! Jilted did not let me down. I didn't want the book to end. 😭

Loved it! Everything about it was great! Why go against what is natural, why go against true love? These two have a hard time finding out how to make it work but that process is HOT and sexy. Coop is just deliciously sinful and he discovers new things about Eden that he would have never imagine. Things that will make him want to keep her and never let go. I felt so sad at some moments for Eden and how she was treated. But I also felt happy with how the story progressed. Trust me you will enjoy this read.

Full review to be published online in early July.

JILTED is the kind of lighthearted story that sucks a reader in and won’t let go. A big city actress/model, a small town guy, a past love…and lots of sexy times. This is a pretty quick read, but very entertaining in its brevity. Eden and Coop had a big obstacle in the way of their relationship; leaving the reader wondering whether they could ever work things out between them.

What worked the best about JILTED is that even though they were together when they were eighteen, they didn't pine for each other while apart. It was good how mature they were when thrown back together. It is always refreshing to read those kinds of story line, and this us another winner for Sawyer Bennett and her new “Love Hurts” series.

I enjoyed this book so, so, so much!!!! I adore second chance romances and Sawyer Bennett proved exactly why in Jilted!!

Cooper and Eden where high school sweethearts and completely in love, so much so that decided to go to the same college. Then Eden got the opportunity of a lifetime and was "discovered" by an talent agent and became a super successful supermodel. Ultimately long distance thing wasn't working and Coop and Eden amicably split. Coop finished college and Eden continued modeling and eventually went on to become an Oscar award winning actress. After recently enduring a very messy, very public breakup, Eden is back in her hometown of Newberry, GA to lick her wounds. Being that her parents passed when she was young and her grandmother passed 10 months ago, Eden thought she would quietly find healing in the solitude of her family home....ohhhhh how wrong she is!!!

I truly don't think I've ever read a Sawyer Bennett book that I didn't love (and I've read almost all of them)! I was hooked from page one and there wasn't a moment throughout this entire novel that lagged!! I love Cooper and Eden, but I also adored the supporting characters!! The little town of Newberry, Georgia is so quaint and charming it needs it's own book series. In saying that, I would love to see the supporting characters get their own books in the future (fingers crossed)!! Jilted a 4.5 star book that EVERYONE would enjoyed!! I can't wait to get my hands on whatever Sawyer Bennett has up her sleeve next!!

Yay! Here are a few of my favourite things..........Sawyer Bennett, standalone romance, second chance romance, dual POV. Well, now I have them all rolled into one beautifully written story. We follow Eden Goodnight, famous Hollywood actress, whose life takes a drastic turnaround during a red carpet premiere. Taking herself out of the spotlight she returns to her hometown and finds herself sharing her home with her first love, Coop Mayfield. Coop hasn't really thought about his first love, Eden Goodnight, since she left him 14 years earlier, he has built a successful business and is happy having casual hookups, he is not looking for anything long term, ever! Is that going to change now that Eden's back in town? A light easy read with some laugh out loud moments alongside some extreme super sexy time, a full five star read for me. I received an advanced copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

As always, Ms. Bennett wrote another outstanding book!!!! I absolutely loved the chemistry between Eden and Coop, their back story, and of course their reunion. My only wish is that this becomes part of a series so we can hear more about them!!

This story is a second chance love story. The characters are well developed and the story is a quick read. The plot twist isn't all that shocking and the story is quite predictable, but still a good read.

There's just something about reading a Sawyer Bennett book. Her characters, the stories, the twists. A different story and setting every time. You can't help but to be sucked into her words. Jilted is no different. An actress/model. A small town guy. A past love. And lots of sexy times... I loved this book. It was a pretty quick read but very entertaining. Eden & Coop had a big obstacle in the way of their relationship, I honestly felt stumped on how they were going to make it work.

One thing I REALLY loved about this book is that even though they were together when they were eighteen, is that they didn't pine for each other while apart. I loved how mature they were when thrown back together. It is always refreshing to read those kinds of story lines.

Another hit for Sawyer! I can't read to the next in the Love Hurts series!
