This was a cute read. I fell in love with the Boudreaux family in Kristen Proby's series, so any time I can get a glimpse, I jump at it.
SA Clayton has written a story that revolves around Morgan, who just moved back to Miami after breaking things off with her boyfriend so she can run Charlie Boudreaux's new shoe store. Owen was Morgan's best friend in high school, and they run into each other quickly. Things didn't end well with them in high school, and they did not keep in touch.
I liked both Owen and Morgan. I wasn't completely sold on Owen's reasoning, but I liked him with Morgan, and he did a pretty good job of trying to make things up to Morgan.
I look forward to more books by SA Clayton!

I love a good story about a couple who were childhood best friends, and were unfortunately pulled apart for over ten years due to an unfortunate event. When Morgan returns to Miami the last person she wants to see is Owen. These two have chemistry off the damn charts, and they had the sweetest relationship. This is a friend to lovers you don’t want to miss, and it’s even set in Kristen Proby’s Bourdeaux Universe. Be sure to add this to your GoodReads TBR lists.

This is my first read by the author and it did not disappoint. I find it refreshing that Morgan is on the curvy side, you don't get that all the time. I find it easy to read. Morgan and Owen is an easy couple, in my opinion, they have great chemistry. I loved Morgan's friendship with Charly.
This is a romantic and wonderful read.

Morgan has the world at her feet. A Fiance, the job she always wanted and she is living in NYC. But her world comes crashing down when she catches her fiance in flagrante delicto in their home!
Fast forward a few months and she is back home in Miami and taking on the management of a new store on behalf of her friend. She did not expect to meet her childhood best friend/unrequited crush/ bringer of nightmares to run the gum next door to her new business!
Owen should be arrogant, air-headed, and a total jock. What we get is business savvy, college-educated business owner who uses his interest in fitness to establish a viable business. But his taste is women -that man needs an overhaul!
I'm always a sucker for girl/boy-next-door and 2nd chance romances. Owen definitely needs to plead for Morgan's forgiveness. Her poor self-esteem certainly took a nose dive due to his abandoning her at prom. It will take more than pretty words to heal that chasm of pain and self-doubt. Morgan and Owen have sizzling chemistry even when trying to avoid each other.
I haven't read the first book but that in no way hindered my enjoyment of this one. Great read.
