Synopsis: Just when she thought she had life and love all figured out…

Divorce attorney Harper James can’t catch a break. Bad enough that she runs into her ex-hubby, Nick, at her sister’s destination wedding, but now, by a cruel twist of fate, she’s being forced to make a cross-country road trip with him. And her almost-fiancé back at home is not likely to be sympathetic.

Harper can’t help that Nick has come blazing back into her life in all of his frustratingly appealing, gorgeous architect glory. But in Nick’s eyes, Harper’s always been the one. If they can only get it right this time, forever might be waiting—just around the bend.

My Thoughts:

If you like your Happy Ever Afters served up with a big helping of funny, ballsy, frustrating, heartwarming and a side dish of adorable pooch then you'll love Kristan Higgins.

Harper made me laugh, cringe and cry, she's cynical, abrasive, a bit of a ball-breaker but that's just her turtle exterior, the hard shell protects emotional vulnerability. 

"Poor little mite. Always so afraid of someone leavin' that you never let anyone get close."

1 ex-husband

1 almost-fiance

1 dog

1 wedding - half sister to ex-husband's brother

1 road trip

Sound complicated? haha just a little and hilarious, as hot, sanctimonious ex-husband Nick and Harpy Harper work their way through recriminations,  if only's and a ton of baggage. 

Find Kristan Higgins on website, facebook, twitter. 

PS. Embarrassing myself with OTT enthusiasm but ... squee I'm beyond excited I'll meet Kristan in a week when she heads to Australia for ARRC 2013.
