Review: Second Act

Second Act by Nancy Herkness
My rating: 1 of 5 stars

DNF at 26%.

Jessica Quillen and Hugh Baker were young lovers until the expectations of his job as a movie star tore them apart. Now she is a vet for an animal charity and he is world famous. They run into each other again after several years when Jessica accidentally ruins a shoot by chasing a stray dog across the alley where they are filming. Hugh realises that he made a huge mistake and will do everything he can to win Jessica back.

I just couldn't get into this and I found the way that Hugh booked a hotel room for Jessica and ran her a bath just to give her some down time was more creepy than charming. Overall, I found his OTT charm offensive a bit cloying and her melting in puddles of goo a bit off-putting.

I stopped and restarted reading this several times but decided my head wasn't in the right place to enjoy this book.

I received a free copy of this book from the publisher via NetGalley in return for an honest review.
