They should be over each other .For two years, Olivia has served her ex-husband coffee at the diner where she works, and waited for her heart to catch up to her brain. Because they were divorced now, and for good reasons. He wasn't ever going to change. He'd always be a cop first, a soldier second, and a husband third, when there was time. Rafe didn|'t believe in love at first sight until he met Olivia, and then he was a goner. They'd been too young, too reckless, but that hadn't stopped him from bringing her home to Pine Harbour, where there was nothing for her to do while he saved the world.Then it all fell apart. He never stopped loving his wife, but he let her go when it became clear he wasn't what she needed. She deserves more than a part-time lover who once broke her heart. Rafe wants a second chance to prove he can be the man she wanted when they fell in love. And Olivia still wants Rafe despite all the excellent reasons why she shouldn't. They should be over each other, but they aren't.… (more)

An enjoyable start to a new series.

There is something special about small-town romance. I can never quite put my finger on it but this author definitely dapped into that magic. Add in second chance romance and this was even better. I liked the premise of the story of getting that chance to redo things after they didn't work out the first time. Especially, after wondering, in hindsight, if my marriage at 20 would have survived if we had been a little older and been more vocal in keeping our feelings from being buried.

There were some areas that I had wished had been fleshed out a tad more but for the most part, this was an entertaining read. ( )

Rafe and Olivia couldn't make their marriage work the first time around yet 2 years later, neither has been able to move on. Sweet and emotional with a likeable cast of characters and realistic setting. As a Canadian, I enjoyed the Canadian setting and cultural references. ( )

I don't know he says ,'it's not what it looks like' but he did try to move on with the girl, couldn't do it put her up for the night, while he slept on the sofa, then took her for breakfast in the diner where his ex-wife works, with the girl dressed in his shirt and is surprised at what it looks like......Men!!!

Couple broke up not due to cheating.
During separation both are celibate but he did have other woman on his lap, kissing him.
HEA.

Rafe and Olivia definitely have a connection. They fell in love right away, and they've never fallen out. Love isn't the issue for them. Everything else is. Their lives and wants never really matched up. Eventually this led to a divorce, but now two years later, they're still stuck in a limbo. They can't move on, but they can't go back to that unhappiness either.

It's nice to read a story with established couples instead of instant attraction. These two are passed that. They have to really put in the effort to make it work. Also, their jobs add some interesting bits to the storyline. I enjoyed it and will probably check out more books in the Pine Harbour series.
