Bianca Rogers AKA,Bee married her high school sweetheart right after graduation. Its ten years later and they have grown into virtual strangers to themselves and each other. They have filed for divorce and when they sign those final signatures their marriage will be over. Bee has been unable to make herself sign the papers but she promises herself after her brother's wedding she will go back home and sign on the dotted line.

He introduces himself as Brody Evans. It turns out Brody too is going through a divorce and is having regrets about not making the most of his marriage while he had the chance. The two have immediate chemistry that is off the charts. Brody and Bee heat up the sheets and open up to one another. The two of them share what went wrong with their marriages and how they would desperately give anything for a second chance to make things right.

Jess Dees' AFTERNOON RHAPSODY BANDICOOT COVE: THE WEDDING BOOK 1 is a fast paced novel that explores the possibility of second chances at love. Is it ever too late? Speaking as a woman who married her high school sweetheart and after 20 years of marriage divorced, I know something about what Bee must have been feeling. But what else I know is we were able to find our way back to each other and now have a marriage I always dreamed of.

As I read AFTERNOON RHAPSODY I couldn't help but hope Bee was able to find her second chance too. I won't spoil the ending as there some very surprising twists and turns in this short but sweet story. This was my first experience with a Jess Dee novel but will absolutely not be the last.
