Goodreads: A debut romance about a supermodel and a photographer with a past marriage pact who meet again ten years later on a photoshoot in Cinque Terre, Italy.

From the moment Emerson and Theo met as teenagers, they were inseparable. But just when they finally expressed their feelings to one another, they were torn apart.

Now, supermodel Emerson is nearing her twenty-eighth birthday, and she’s tired of looking for love in all the wrong places. When the calendar reminder for the marriage pact she and Theo made as teens goes off on her phone, she realizes this is it―her chance to rekindle the only romance that ever really made sense. Emerson convinces her grumpy agent to book her as the face of the fashion campaign that Theo, now a fashion photographer, is shooting. The good the campaign is being shot in ridiculously romantic Cinque Terre, Italy. The bad news? Theo might not be as happy to see her as she’d hoped.

The two embark on a four-day campaign that tests not only their feelings, but their ability to keep their hands off one another. But as roadblock after roadblock keeps them apart, Emerson starts to will this photoshoot be the key to getting one last shot at love, or will it be a final goodbye?

Ope’s Opinion: This was a really good read. The characters were well developed. I was rooting for Theo and Emerson from the first page to the last one. The story made my heart ache for anyone in their positions.

Emerson’s reaction to her situation felt real and hard to me. I also liked how the author handled Theo’s reaction to Emerson. There was some miscommunication toward the end that felt a little unnecessary, but it was resolved quickly. I did like that they still struggled some and it wasn’t a perfect turn around in their relationship.
