About this ebook

She's the one woman I'd give anything to forget--and now I'm stuck living with her.

I'm making a fresh start in Lake Tahoe, until my stubborn sister decides to move Mira into our cabin. I'll be damned if I move out on Mira's account.

Nothing has changed in the years since I last saw Mira. Her tempting body and smart mouth taunt me daily. The only hope I have at keeping my sanity is the knowledge that Mira is hiding something.

Sooner or later I'll discover her secret, and knowing her, it'll be damning.

But first, I have to ignore the urge to kiss and touch and make Mira mine again.

--EXCERPT--

I grab her waist, guiding her back against the shelves.

She kisses my cheekbone, nibbles my earlobe. "We can't do this here."

That nibble shoots straight to my groin. "I beg to differ. I think we can manage."

Once the walls come down, emotions run hot. Grab Never Date Your Ex, a sexy, second-chance romance!

Ratings and reviews

This was the third book in the Lake Tahoe Series. This book follows the relationship of Tyler and Mari. These two both used each other in high school but Tyler always seemed to stick up for Mari. There relationship has is ups and downs. Mari is holding onto a secret that involves her mother and Tyler has his own secret that he carries. Mari and Tyler both end up getting jobs at the same place and they are both living together to keep Mari safe from the guys that are involved her mom. Read this book to find out if Mira and Tyler get there happy ending. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

This is my favorite of the series so far! Tyler and Mira are minor characters in the first two books, but in this book we're clued in about their history and why they appeared to hate each other. As is common in second-chance romances, miscommunication is to blame for their original break-up, but unique to this book is the entire story that shows it was so much more than a simple communication breakdown. Their story is complex and messy, with both characters making mistakes along with way, but ultimately their love is the only thing they can count on and the sweetest of HEAs is delivered when they finally stop fighting the inevitable. This story also gives us a lot more about what's going on at Blue, the casino where some of the characters work. Although each of the books in this series are standalone romances, the issues at the casino continue to unfold from one to the next. I wasn't sure how I'd like Mira after meeting her in the earlier books, but to this author's credit, Mira's backstory really does explain her behavior and allows us to see her as a sympathetic character. Unlike the first two books which were entirely in the female protagonist's POV, this one alternates between Mira's and Tyler's first-person narratives. This works beautifully as so much of this story is based on how they both interpreted their high-school interactions and how that relationship affected their future decisions. Deeply romantic at its core, this book was a beautiful escape that I thoroughly enjoyed from the first page to the last. Highly recommended. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Tyler and Mari have known each other for years and have a past and now they are stuck in his family cabin together. Mari is hiding out at the cabin after getting in some trouble with a loan shark and Tyler has no plans on leaving. I like the second chance storyline and that Tyler and Mari were meant to be together it just takes longer than most couples.
