Received an ARC from NetGalley for an honest review.

This. This is how you do a novella. While I haven't read the other books in the series, I was completely hooked on this one from page 1. When Darcy comes back to town to fight for her mom's home, she's forced to come face-to-face with the guy she left behind all those years ago. The guy she asked to come with her. But even though they're both all grown up, the passion is still scorching between them. I can't remember the last time I got so invested in such a quick read. It was so good and it wasn't just about the two of them. Instead, there were secondary characters that really made their relationship feel real. Now I have to go back and read more in this series...

Though I downloaded this book as soon as I was approved for an ARC, it never arrived on my Kindle. Now that it is archived, I can not attempt to re-download it. Jennifer Dawson is a highly rated author with me. Unfortunately, since I do not have a copy of this story, I can not write a review. If in the future I obtain gain access to this romantic read, I will gladly leave detailed feedback. NetGally has no explanation as to why the first download was not successful.

I’ve never read author Jennifer Dawson before, but after reading She’s My Kind of Girl you can bet I’ll be checking out her other works. This is a novella that apparently is part of a series and while I’m most certain many of the characters in this book were featured in previous books, I didn’t feel lost reading this one. High school lovers are reunited but on opposing sides of an issue making the tension between them even hotter. A second chance at love or just a lust filled romp? From beginning to end I was completely caught up in this story and felt every emotion as I watched two people meant to be together struggle with their feelings and torn between the love they once had and the lives they now have. Gut wrenching, sigh inducing and panty melting, I loved this story!
Returning home to the small town that taunted her, chewed her up and spit her out Darcy Miller wants nothing more than to help her mother save her home and then get back to New York as soon as she can, she just didn’t expect to find her ex-boyfriend and once the town’s bad boy turned mayor still so damn appealing. Griffin Strong can’t believe his eyes when he sees Darcy again after so many years, one thing he knows is that the passion between them is still strong, but his first priority is what is good for the town and her mother’s home is standing in the way.
The sparks between these two flew from the first encounter until the last and they never let up in between; in every conversation, in every touch, in every argument it was so easy to see that these two were connected in a very strong way.
While Griff has made peace with the town that once looked down on him, the same can’t be said for Darcy which only increases the tension between them. They had some big differences and working through them was harder than either of them imagined.
She’s My Kind of Girl packed a lot of excitement and sexiness into a small package and I enjoyed every minute of it.
