Spicy to the top. Good story but more spice than anything else. If that's your preference than this one is a win!

This is my first book written by this author and I enjoyed reading it. The main characters are a great match and they are perfect together. All the surrounding characters make the story richer. I liked the storytelling and kept me glued to my Kindle. I will go back and read the previous installments to have the whole picture.

Eden Spade is returning to Magic Island for the first time since Baxter Easton broke her heart. Chances are she will eventually run in to him. She was not expecting it to happen the first night nor did she expect to be working with him. She is helping to pay for her father’s medical bills and the money is needed so she can’t afford to quit even though things are not being done the way they should. Eden is confused not knowing if she can trust Baxter or is he part of the problem at Dunes Research?
Summer Hunter builds her charcters in a way that the reader can see both sides of the story and the misunderstandings that go back to their teenage years. Reclaiming My Wounded First Love is the 4th book in the series but is written in a way that it can stand alone but it will leave the reader wanting to go back and read the rest of the series.
Thank you NetGalley and Summer Hunter for the ARC in exchange for my honest review.

I enjoyed this book. The characters were charming and I will be reading the other books in this series!

It was good book. It took me a minute to grasp the book but I’m very glad I did. I enjoyed the development of the characters.

I will definitely be rereading this book!

16 years ago Eden Spade, the girl I fell in love with broke my heart.
16 years ago Baxter Easton, the boy I fell in love with, broke heart.

Baxter Easton works at his families company, Easton Corporation as an Investment Coordinator. The day after running into the girl he fell in love with is now sitting in a meeting room with her employers at Dunes Research. She is an independent contractor that has been brought on for project on Magic Island. Now Baxter finds himself working with Eden.

Eden has found herself working with her ex boyfriend, Baxter. The same B'axter who broke her heart when she was a teenager. Although she knew coming to Magic Island out here at risk into rubbing into him, she never thought she would end up working next to him. Now that things aren’t adding up with the project that she’s working on. She’s not sure who to trust. Does she take a chance and trust the guy that broke her heart.

Baxter and Eden work together figuring out what Rogues Research is up to. Who is involved and what they’re after. As the two of them work closely, they start to rekindle the love they had as teenagers.

I enjoyed the mystery of what the two main characters uncover. The development of the characters progresses naturally, and there is no other man/woman drama. There is no drama that is unnecessary. I would recommend this book to any romance reader. '
Spice level is 3.5/5
Character development is 4/5
Overall story is 4/5.

What. Even.

"She looks over her bare shoulder and my stomach rocks. From the distance, the blue of her eyes is a dark colour but no less compelling."
No less compelling than what? There is no comparison, so what are they as compelling as?!

"I haven't even gotten a whiff of her yet. I know it'll be so good. I just know it." Then he aggressivley sniffs her until even she questions it.

Then he makes fart noises so people don't.interrupt them....

I just can't. Not for me at all.

Big fan of reading romance books and this one was a good page turner. The pace was great and it keeps you engaged. Also the personality and challenges the characters go through are relatable. Also enjoyed the nods to other characters from the series.

A spicy second-chance romance that sets the pages on fire. The story revolves around the rekindling of a passionate love that transcends time and heartbreak. The suspenseful plot, intertwined with steamy romance, kept me hooked until the very end.
