Description
He was the bad boy no one trusted.
Bailey’s burned out, and not sure what leads her back to Ryker Falls, but has a feeling it’s got something to do with closure. Bad boy Joe Trainer was once her soulmate, but she isn’t sure she has a soul anymore. Finding he’s made something of his life is a shock, as he’d been on a one-way trip to hell when she left. This new Joe is sexy and enticing, but she knows all too well there’s a devil underneath the urbane exterior.
She was the good girl who never broke the rules.
When Joe’s childhood friend, Bailey Jones, returns to Ryker Falls, his life suddenly shifts from settled to off-center. Once they’d been closer than anyone ever guessed; now, they’re chilly strangers. But Joe’s not letting his stubborn, sexy-as-hell ex-best friend stay closed off. He lost her once through his own stupidity; this time he’s never letting her go. Joe knows he doesn’t deserve a second chance, but he’s never played by the rules before, so he’s not starting now. Game on.

This was a glorious book that once you started it you didn't want to put it down My first book by this author it definitely won't be my last
Bailey Jones and Joe Trainer where once best friends she was the good girl that always did the right thing he was the bad boy that was on his way to ruin. Then they went their separate ways She became a famous pianist whose grand father totally controlled her life all in the interest of her career Now she is totally burnt out and has returned to Ryker Falls to try to get her life back in order What she didn't expect was to find Joe there and that he had made something of his life. The connection is still strong between them but there is a heat that was never there before Can they reconnect and will they get a HEA You will have to read to see

I've read numerous novels by Wendy Vella, but they have been historical romances for the most part. This was the first one that I read in the contemporary timeframe.
I loved everything about this novel. The back story and the mystery really added to the plot and the character development was on point.
Wendy continues to be one of my favorites and she hasn't let me down yet.

Really cute read, Joe and Bailey were awesome. Poor Bailey, she had a tough time finding her way but Joe was such a sweetheart. There were some wonderful secondary characters in this story.

The story of Bailey and Joe.
They were friends when they were children, until she moved away. Now she is back in town and this time she is the one who needs someone to help her out, and Joe wants it to be him.
First book I have read by this author and looking forward to more.

What a great story of second chances at life, with your soul mate, as well as personal growth. Both Joe and Bailey had a hard youth, though different. He comes from an abusive childhood and she from a wealthy, but lonely neglected one. But these two come through it full of love, strength, and determination. Watching Bailey transform from meek to a strong, more assertive, and bold was inspiring. Then to meet her soul mate again to discover their strong bond still there was heartwarming. Throw in a mystery danger and you have a great story that plays like a movie in your head as I read. The secondary characters were hilarious, encouraging, and protective making me want to read their stories too.
I received this book in exchange for an honest review from the publisher through Netgalley.

What a brilliant read. It was packed with so much story. My heart broke for both bailey and joe...they have gone through so much and had changed so much. The story was filed with tension, heartache, humour and love. This is the first book Ive read by this author but I will definitely read her other books

Somebody to love is a second chance romance sort of for Joe and Bailey. At 16 and 13 they had a friendship so strong that when they were separated years couldn’t destroy their love for each other. Years have past and Bailey has come back to Ryker Falls, she needs to reboot and find herself. Why not. Come back to the one place that she felt safe and where one of her only friends lives. She never thought she would be near Joe so much or how it would affect her.
Joe hasn’t gotten over her, and seeing her again has destroyed his concentration. He made poor choices but has come back from them. Now he’s decided to make her his, and he will do anything for her. The problem ? Someone is after his family or maybe Bailey herself. They need to find out who is trying to kill them before some is taken!
Add in ex fiancés and girlfriends, grandfathers, townspeople, and over coming past hurts and lies these two will have quite the struggle.

Bailey and Joe two hearts that beat in tune with the symphony of love for each other but first they must overcome past insecurities, hurt and betrayal and sadness. A heartwarming sweet tale with a deep romantic kick spiced up with a murder mystery. The intrigue gave this book a thrilling factor that sweetened the romance, which captivates and entices you. This is an awesome read I love it, I felt sorry it came to an end, for I wanted more.
