Just when she thought she had life and love all figured out... Divorce attorney Harper James can't catch a break. It's bad enough that she runs into her ex-hubby, Nick, at her sister's wedding, but now, by a cruel twist of fate, she's being forced to make a cross-country road trip with him. And her almost-fiance back at home is not likely to be sympathetic. Harper can't help that Nick has come blazing back into her life in all of his frustratingly appealing, gorgeous glory. But in Nick's eyes, Harper's always been the one. If they can only get it right this time, forever might be waiting - just around the bend.
I have seen Kristan Higgin's books but this is the first one I actually read. I am happy (and sad!) to report I have definitely been missing out. I thoroughly enjoyed MY ONE AND ONLY. I couldn't put it down. Because Harper and Nick have a history, a short but passionate marriage that imploded for a variety of reasons including youth and personal baggage, the story quickly dives into their relationship. In turns funny, heartbreaking, and thoughtful, MY ONE AND ONLY revolves around themes of forgiving and releasing the past in order to fulfill the promise of a better future. I thought both Harper and Nick were flawed and charming, making them great characters. I found the secondary characters fun and engaging. The road trip was the perfect means for them to discover new things about themselves and each other, as they explored the back roads of middle America. Hope you enjoy this book as much as I did!
