Synopsis:
From the author of the Amazon #1 bestselling romance, Jake Undone, comes a friends-to-lovers story of longing, passion, betrayal and redemption……with a twist that will rip your heart out.
Skylar was my best friend, but I secretly pined for her. One thing after another kept us apart, and I’ve spent the last decade in fear of losing her forever.
First, it was the cancer, but she survived only to face the unthinkable at my hands. Because of me, she left town. For years, I thought I’d never see her again.
But now she’s back…and living with him.
I don’t deserve her after everything I’ve put her through, but I can’t live without her. This is my last chance, because she’s about to make the biggest mistake of her life. I can see it her eyes: she doesn’t love him. She still loves me…which is why I have to stop her before it’s too late.
My Skylar is a STANDALONE novel and a companion to Jake Undone.
**Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language. It is only appropriate for adult readers age 18+
Ellen’s Review
6+++ stars!!!
This book is absolute perfection!!! I almost have no words to describe this emotional, funny, steamy, magnificent, roller coaster-ride of a story! Penelope Ward is a genius. Each word is perfectly chosen, each character is vital to the story and the dialogue and pacing are perfect.
My Skylar is a fantastic, second-chance love story that is EPIC in its time span and in the obstacles that Skylar and Mitch face throughout their lives. But the author knows how to lighten the mood where appropriate and there is actually very, very funny dialogue, which also adds a realistic tone to this story.
And the sex scenes? Wow! They are loving, HOT, and filled with pure, raw emotion. I could include some of the zillion quotes I highlighted in this review but please just read this book for yourself! You will fall in love with Mitch! My Skylar is one of those rare books that I did not want to end. Bravo, Ms. Ward! Can’t wait to read your next book.
