Put
a finger down if you’ve ever been a single woman who got stuck in a New York
City elevator in the middle of a summer blackout with your former high school
sweetheart—whom you haven’t seen in years—while pregnant with a baby that isn’t
biologically yours. And you can’t believe how handsome that blast from your
past is, so you unwittingly flirt with him a little even though your life is so
crazy complicated you’re barely keeping your head above water, but everything
about him makes you think you could totally still be in love with him.
*puts a finger down*
What? Just me?
Needless to say, my current status is thorny. And no, I didn’t miss
how close that word is to another one.
Even though he’s the epitome of tall, dark, and incredibly handsome, Remington
Winslow has been a single bachelor for most of his life. It’s clichéd and
basic—until you consider the fact that once upon a terrible time, he got left
at the altar.
He doesn’t do relationships. He definitely doesn’t fall in love.
And I’m just trying to survive a tangled web of unexpected motherhood and
running one of the top real estate firms in the city that never sleeps.
He’s the jaded guy who doesn’t want to settle down, and I’m the career-focused
woman with more baggage than a 747 can hold.
We’re just two friends who used to be in love.
Now, if someone would tell my hormones I’m not a teenager anymore, I’d be
set.

My fingers run across the screen quickly, and I don’t even bother looking up before stepping inside the elevator—and bumping right into another human.
He grunts as he catches my momentum by the tops of my arms, and I nearly jump into another dimension.
“Oh my gosh!” I cry, embarrassed by my rudeness. “I’m so sorry. I wasn’t paying attention at all.” Honestly, I’m still kind of not as I finish typing a message to my worthless assistant, but once I hit send, I tuck my phone into my purse, ready to give him my full attention.
Or, at least, as much as my mortification will allow.
I cringe and look up into crystalline-blue eyes then, just as a smile is curling onto the handsome stranger’s face. But it only takes a millisecond for me to realize he isn’t a stranger at all. Truth be told, he’s as little a stranger as a man can be—my first real love and the man I gave my virginity to when I was sixteen years old. It seems like a lifetime ago and just yesterday all at once, but the memory of his gentle hands coaxing my nervous hips up to meet his is the kind of thing you don’t forget. No matter how many years have gone by.
“Maria?” he asks, his smile deepening further, if you can believe it.
Me, though? I’m nearly speechless. Because I haven’t seen my high school sweetheart Remington Winslow in two fucking decades.
And yes, trust me, if you got an eyeful of everything that Remy is now, you’d know it absolutely deserves the use of the f-word. Same strong jaw, same intense eyes, same full lips and dark hair—somehow, he looks as good as I remember. Maybe even better.
Goodness, he’s aged well.
“Remy.” His name passes over my tongue and has the power to bring back so many memories of the past.
Is it true what they say about your first love?
That you’ll always love them?

This is the fourth book in the series – and let me tell you that you definitely
need to read from book one to really get the full impact of this lovely story!
Remington Winslow's visit to a fortune teller, her prediction coming true, and
the devastation that caused him, have been at the core of all the relationships
that his siblings engaged in since. But he has remained aloof and apart – and
as we discover... investing funds for said fortune teller, even now, years
later!
I love the hook in this series of Cleo, the woman who foretold the disastrous
ending to Remy's wedding day! Completely original and lots of fun – never more
so than in Remy's story. This may be a second-chance romance in many ways, but
it is also the reawakening of the love and passion in a man who cut himself off
from all emotion due to his non-wedding. He is the complete gentleman and
family man, caring deeply and completely for his siblings, their spouses and
children, as well as his mom – but he will not allow himself to go there, ever.
His first lift encounter with first love Maria is funny, the second is
transformative – we just have to sit back and enjoy the ride... and how sweet
it is!
I always find great humour, but also truths great and small in Max Monroe's
writing, and here is no different – there may be a little more seriousness to
this book, and certainly I shed a tear or two at times.
And whilst I was truly sad to get to the last page, the fact that there are
bonus chapters? Absolute heaven – do not miss them out as they definitely add
to one's happiness quotient for the day!

I fell for Remy from the first trip the boys took to see the palm reader, Cleo.
His reading was heartbreaking, and his life was what he thought was how he
wanted it. That is, until the love of his life from the past showed up in an
elevator and they got stuck together.
This story is the perfect second-chance romance for the man who thought his
life was as it should be. But when Cleo says love will find you, it does when
love's time is right. You have to love the Winslow family, and the way they
have pulled Maria and Izzy into their family is the way it should be, family
first.
This story is filled with love that lasted many years. a fun-loving family,
banter, and an all-around great story. If you haven't read this series, you
need to start it now and I highly recommend starting from the beginning. It is
worth it.

M/F Second-Chance Romance
This is Remington (Remy)'s book. I have been waiting for his story since the
beginning. I love that he has continued the relationship with Cleo. She is a
large part of his life, and while he isn't forthcoming with that relationship,
it is one that he treasures.
Maria is a strong woman who knows what she wants in life. She is working hard
and trying her best to keep her head above water. After an intense, devastating
loss, Maria knows more than most how precious life can be. When she finds
herself trapped in an elevator, it turns out that it might have been the best
thing to happen to her.
As Remy and Maria find their friendship renewed, these two have to figure out
if their single lives are better or worse than a life being shared with
someone. Maria, with her daughter Izzy, capture the hearts of everyone who
meets them.
I loved watching Remy's life start to evolve and include more into his life.
Izzy and Maria are welcomed back with open arms. As Remy sees his life changing
and Maria sees that she could have what she used to dream about, all of the
Winslows will pull together, with some help from Cleo.
You won't be disappointed in this book. It's sweet, loving, and so much fun to
watch everyone around these two rally together.
