The last place Lisa Alvarez expected to find herself was babysitting for her ex-sister-in-law's three rambunctious kids. But when Maggie called her up and begged for time alone, something in Lisa made her say yes. Lisa never expected her handsome ex-husband Nick to show up on the doorstep, walking back into her life, and taking over more than the weekend....

Nick can't believe how Lisa has changed over the years - and how she's stayed the same. His heart still races when her eyes catch his, his pulse pounds when she's near. After tragedy pushed them apart, Nick spent eight years rebuilding his life and his soul. Can he risk losing his heart again, for a second chance at true love?

Why did I add One True Love to my bookshelf?

I picked this book up as a Kindle freebie back in 2011. I actually have quite a few books in my account written by Barbara Freethy, but I haven’t read any of them just yet. The reviews for this one look rather positive, and this is a genre I like, so I have a feeling this one will be a good bet. Hopefully, I can get to it before another 15 years pass by.

What are your thoughts? Have you read this book?  Would you recommend it?
