About this ebook

Can a retired naval commander and the love he left behind overcome a 34-year-old secret to find their way to a second chance?

Captain Mitchell Greyson is a man who believes in duty. A bigger purpose and a thirst to prove himself took him away from his tiny Tennessee hometown--and the girl he loved--more than thirty years ago. After a distinguished career in the Navy, Grey's headed home, searching for new purpose and a glimpse at the road not traveled.

At the tender age of eighteen, Rebecca Ferguson made a choice that changed her life. Since then, she's had joy, regrets, and an ugly divorce, but she never forgot the love who walked away. She definitely never expected him to move back to town more than thirty years later, or for all the sparks to still be alive.

One look and Grey's all in, determined to earn a second chance at the love he left behind. The duty that took him away is over, but Rebecca doesn't know how to trust that he's home to stay, especially when the secret she's held onto all these years is closer than he thinks...and it has the potential to destroy their fragile new beginning. 

Ratings and reviews

This was a cute story — and who doesn’t love a second chance romance? — with two characters I was so pleased to see find their happily ever after. The book as a whole, however, lacked the drama and suspense that the other books in this series had, so it felt a little less exciting overall. It’s still a lovely story, just a bit shy of my expectations given the themes of the rest of the series. I was delighted by the bonus epilogue, though, and the sneak peek into what’s coming next!!

This is the last book in the Bad Boy Bakers series. I'm sad to see this series come to an end. It's a book I didn't know I needed in this series. We find out the history between Rebecca and Grey. There are some twists and turns coming. I love a good second chance romance and boy did this one fit the bill. It's 34 years in the making second chance. I love how the Bad Boy Baker family is expanding. It makes me all giddy to them having children. This was such a delightful read.

What a fantastic ending to the Bad Boy Bakers series! I love that Rebecca gets her happily ever after & it is such a perfect ending to this series. Grey is so awesome. This is a perfect second chance romance that left me so happy & satisfied. There were so many secrets & so much emotion in this story that it pulled me in immediately. I absolutely loved every minute of this story. I received an advance copy from Booksprout & am voluntarily leaving a review.
