The hero and heroine are at crossroads and there doesn't seem to be a solution that could keep them together. But obviously the author finds one and the way to their HEA is so sweet and funny and sexy (very sexy, let me tell you!). I can't wait to read more from this author! This story is set in New York and most of it is set on a commuter train. Amy is riding to her job at NYU in the financial department. She moved here from Seattle six months ago, after a traumatic break up with the man she loved, and still loves. Suddenly, he appears! " Is this seat taken?" Her emotions flow through joy, anger, and a little bit of fear. How could she risk her heart again after all this time? They had been apart for six months without any contact. What follows is a sometimes heartbreaking , sometimes laughable journey toward forgiveness. It is not an easy journey. They both admit they love each other, that they should have talked before she made this momentous decision to move across the country. Amy cannot get past the memories of work always coming first. They take a few steps forward, then his phone rings or he receives a text and there are a lot of steps back. Their refusal to compromise kind of drove me a little crazy. I wanted to jump in and say "Talk to each other"! This was another installment in the group of novellas called Strangers on a Train. I highly recommend all of the delightful stories. Each is very different, but all involve....what else? A train! I received this novella for an honest review. No compensation was offered nor accepted. no reviews | add a review

Is that a cell phone in his pocket...or is he just happy to see her? A Strangers on a Train Story When Amy Moreland left Seattle, she never expected to see her workaholic ex-boyfriend again. Encountering him on her Connecticut-to-New-York-City commute is the surprise of her life. He seems hell-bent on winning her back, but every time his cell phone rings, it's a painful reminder of how he failed to put her first. Jeff Havers can't help that his phone keeps interrupting his carefully composed apology speech, but having Amy sic the Metro North security team on him is a bit much. Once he talks his way out of handcuffs, he focuses on coaxing Amy to talk about the fears that drove her away. As the train ride takes them through the landscape of their lost life together, sparks fly and remembered heat reignites. But if they're not brave enough to overcome the still-fresh pain of old wounds, it could be too late to pursue what really matters--their ticket home. Warning: This book contains steamy train-car action, sex on the stairs, and a hero determined to give his velvet-and-heels-clad woman exactly what she's looking for. No library descriptions found. |

This little train ride (very familiar to me, being a NYer) was on the funny/angsty side.
What I loved most about it was Amy. Now THIS is one heck of a heroine. Strong, loving, determined and independent. And if it's Jeff describing her - sexy as hell.
