An Old Flame?

 

Lizzie Hampton is literally a shadow of her former self. Having lost half her body weight, she's headed to her small hometown to test out her new body on an old flame.

Just a harmless fling to get her self confidence back before she returns to

the city and the new man in her life.

 

But Lizzie's plan has a few bumps in the road.

 

Finn Robbins can't believe Liz is back in town. Desperate to be the holder of her innocence eighteen years ago, he never got the chance.

Now she's back and he can finally check her off his to do list.

 

But her friends, his son, and the mysterious Annie may have something to say about that.

 

This book contains 2-3 fairly graphic love scenes and the F-bomb is detonated somewhat frequently. If it was a movie, it would be rated R.

Ratings and reviews

I really like this book i can say this about reading this book. It can sure make u wonder if a love like that does exist. That being with out that other person could be the end of ur world all together if u let it. Makes u think that maybe one day u may find ur cow boy that will love u so much don't matter if u have stretch marks or scars of any kind he will make u feel like a queen. Maybe that kind of love does exist. A woman can dare to dream huh. :,)

This book was a tad bit slow at first, however, I could relate to alot of the things in the book begin a fellow Michigan resident. The character, Liz, caught me off guard at first because it seemed that she was so obsessed with her weight-loss. I finally came to realize that we, as women, have a very critical view of ourselves (me included). Once I understand this as reality, I started to enjoy the book and can't wait to read the next book in the series!

I found it super slow and boring with it enough dialog and not too great of a story all together. Sort of felt rushed and all over the place. I did enjoy the topic of self image and loving yourself, made it more realistic.
