Release Blitz + Review: "Never Fall for Your One That Got Away" by Kate O'Keeffe

I'm happy to join the release blitz celebrating "Never Fall for Your One That Got Away" by Kate O'Keeffe, book #4 of the It's Complicated series. Characters from the previous books make appearances in this one, but it reads as a complete standalone.

Tabitha Greene and Noah Grant dated for over a year as teenagers, but she ended the relationship before leaving for university because of pressure from her wealthy family and friends. It's been twelve years since their breakup, and Tabitha now runs an art gallery in London which is backed by her father. She's attending a wedding one evening when she unexpectedly runs into Noah and quickly realizes that she's never gotten over him. After hiding out in her flat for the weekend and hoping that the encounter was a fluke, Tabitha heads to work on Monday morning only to find that her assistant has booked her an appointment with an art consultant who turns out to be none other than Noah. His client is interested in a piece by an up-and-coming artist who will only work with Tabitha, necessitating a road trip to a town a short distance from where they grew up. Sparks fly between them once again as they work together, but the family pressures that caused them to break up when they were teenagers remain a challenge. Will Tabitha's family stand in the way of her happiness once again?

This was such a cute story! Tabitha and Noah's second chance romance was super sweet and I found it very easy to root for them to overcome all of the obstacles that stood in their way. In addition, I really enjoyed Tabitha's journey of self-discovery and growth over the course of the story. She had started to make positive changes in her life even before Noah came back into it, but his reappearance was an additional catalyst for her learning to stand on her own two feet. She was justifiably proud of what she had accomplished with the gallery and proved that she could make it on her own without her parents' financial support.
 

Overall, I loved "Never Fall for Your One That Got Away" and highly recommend it for all fans of sweet contemporary romance and romantic comedy. It was the first book I've read by this author, but it won't be the last.

About "Never Fall for Your One That Got Away"

If life gives you a second chance with the one that got away, should you take it?

Noah Grant was my first. He was the guy who went from childhood friend to teenage love. The guy I spent one heady, intoxicating summer with, only to have my heart snapped in two—not by him, but by me.

Fast forward twelve years and just when I think I’m finally over Noah, he’s back. Older, wiser, hotter.

Definitely hotter.

Work throws us together, and there’s no avoiding him, even if I wanted to. And I don’t want to avoid him, although I know I should.

But Noah’s hiding something. And if I let myself get close, could his secret break my heart all over again?

Never Fall for Your One that Got Away is a laugh-out-loud, swoon-worthy rom com with a second-chance-love, a totally swoony guy, and sweet romance. As with all the books in the It’s Complicated series, this is a closed-door romance with some incredible kissing and all the feels. It is a full-length novel and can be read as a standalone story.
