About this ebook

"Delicious and sensual, heartbreaking and heartwarming, Meant to Be Mine is no guilty pleasure. It's just all pleasure. Burke and Sofia have off-the-charts chemistry. I can't wait to read the whole series."
--Tiffany Reisz, international bestselling author of the Original Sinners series on Meant to be Mine

Loving him was hard. Wanting him was so damn easy . . .

Sofia Mercer may have been sick as a teen, but she's no delicate flower. And she's proven it by making it on her own and starting a new life away from the town that turned against her, away from the boy who broke her already fragile heart. But when her aunt Luz dies unexpectedly, leaving Sofia with a mountain of regrets and the keys to a quirky boutique, Sofia has no choice but to return to Cape Cod. Only, this new life in her old town comes with complications.

Burke Wolf was Sofia's first love-a relationship that burned bright and went up in flames. Seeing him again, Sofia can't help but get caught up in that all-too-familiar tornado of passion and pain. He's battled his own demons-that much is clear. But Sofia can't afford to be careless with her heart . . . and loving Burke again might just break it completely.

Ratings and reviews

Sofia Mercer has a broken heart. From an early age a heart condition has ruled her life. Determined to not be defined by her past health issues or the failures in her personal life, she leaves the past behind and starts fresh in a new place. Or so she believes. When the death of her aunt forces her return, she must confront all the drama, painful memories and recapture the heart she left behind. From the outside looking in, it's easy to make assumptions but until the facts are all laid out, misconceptions will always create pain. Meant to Be Mine is passionate, insightful and captivating. To heal one has to be open to facing all aspects of themselves and that is not always a pretty portrait.

Meant to Be Mine is the first in the Guilty Pleasures Series by Lisa Marie Perry. This is the first time I have read anything by this author, but after reading this book, that's all about to change. There was so much to love about this story and I seriously did not want it to end. Sophia and Burke have loved each other forever, but both are afraid to take that step toward being together for fear of getting hurt. The funny thing though is they are both hurting because they push each other away - denying that they truly are meant to be. At times I got pretty frustrated with this couple because I wanted them to just get over their issues and live their happily ever after. End the end though, this journey was well worth my frustrations and I was a very happy reader. This is one of the most enjoyable books I have read in a while with its well-developed characters, plenty of emotion and some naughty bits thrown in which really made this book an outstanding read. I loved all the secondary characters and can't wait to read their stories in future installments.
