What is it about a marriage in trouble/divorced couple coming back together that just really gets me so deeply invested right off the bat? I wish I knew, but honestly, this book was a delight. The friend and assistant helping push Winter and Josh back together (or to get "closure") was just excellent and I loved the way Pembroke writes. Also, this is another Hollywood romance where Winter and Josh met on set and Winter is now a hot shot director and Josh is sort of taking a break. I loved the conversations that arose because of how Winter felt like Josh was constantly overshadowing her and she wasn't really allowed to be her own person. I also loved how Josh had to examine his belief that marriage and love should be easy and not take a lot of work. In fact, there's not really anything I didn't enjoy about this book, with the exception of the third act conflict. I really didn't love how that went down. But all in all, I can't wait to read more from Pembroke in the future and can see myself re-reading this book multiple times over the years.

I really wanted to read this book since I’ve been to Iceland. I really enjoyed this one. Winter and Josh were a couple reunited in Iceland. Both actors, which means their relationship is out there for everyone to critique. Winter and Josh both Blake themselves for the loss of their marriage. I love second chance romances. This book was well written and very enjoyable with great emotion. I wanted to keep reading until the end. Huge thanks to the publisher and Netgalley for allowing me to read and review this book!

A-list actors Winter and Josh had a fairy tale marriage—until tragedy tore them apart. Reunited by a matchmaking mutual friend at a resort in Iceland, they seek closure. When passion flares, can they risk a second chance at love?

I loved Winter and Josh—they had so much chemistry together, and it was clear they had never fallen out of love. They each blamed themselves for the breakdown of their marriage, but the situation was complicated. I enjoyed the Icelandic setting with its natural hot springs. It's a heartwarming, satisfying read.

Thanks, NetGalley, for the ARC I received. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Surprisingly insightful and nuanced ....

This is one of the best written second chance books I've read in a very long time. Its made even more poignant with a miscarriage and a divorce. Five years after an abrupt dissolution to their marriage after a miscarriage, Winter and Josh are at an Icelandic spa. Actors, though now Winter is a director, they have a chance to finally achieve some closure, since Josh just read her note and let her go without a fight. Winter has only moved forward after the miscarriage and divorce. Josh is fixated on an easy true love, and moving on so he can find that easy true love and that fairytale love story, since it wasn't Winter (he had already moved on with a series of blondes and I was glad this wasn't dwelled on too long).

Winter is such a great and empathetic character who feels the vast range of emotions. Josh is a good character too, though he's more cookie-cutter and wants things neat and tidy. They both have to deal with their unresolved guilt.
Endings and beginnings.
Recommend.

Life after miscarriage and divorce is hard enough, but when you and your ex are both in the entertainment industry, everything is under a microscope.

Winter is 5 years beyond her marriage to Josh when they both attend the opening of a friend’s new hotel. Of course between celebs, influencers and paparazzi seeing him again brings up mixed emotions. They agree to be cordial and that helps get some closure. Do they want more? Is it worth the risk?

I liked the story, empathized with Winter’s need to be seen as her own person, not just Josh’s ex. You see publicized relationships often in the media and it’s easy to not see beyond the surface, but they are real people with real situations.

Thanks to the author, publisher and NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this book but my opinions are my own.
