He never thought he’d see her again!

After being reported missing, presumed dead, globe-hopping photojournalist Mitch Simmons never thought he’d see his estranged wife, Zoe, again. Yet here he is back in their coastal Florida town, where Zoe is mayor. Turns out she isn’t the only one he left behind.

Discovering he has a baby son awakens thrilling new emotions in Mitch. And there are his still-powerful feelings for the high school sweetheart he vowed to love and honor forever. Thankfully, they’ll have the chance to find the love that was always there…

My Review

My second favorite trope in the romance genre (just behind the friends to more theme) is second chance at love. And boy, oh boy, does His One and Only Bride hit that nail on the head.

A marriage disintegrating? Check. One partner returning from the dead? Check. A surprise baby? Check. Plenty of hurt, misinterpretation, drama, and tension? Check, check, check, and check.
Tara Randel weaves a bit of mystery—what exactly was Mitch mixed up in?—a sprinkle of cuteness—I wanted to pinch Leo’s baby cheeks—and loads of introspection and revelations for Zoe and Mitch. It took more than one to destroy their marriage.

Though this book is the finale of a series, it’s the first one I’ve read and, while I was curious about the supporting cast, I was never taken out of Zoe and Mitch’s search for their true HEA.

My Rating:

    It sounds like a good story. I’m having trouble finding this line in the stores for purchase, though. I’d like to read more of them!

      I love this line but haven’t searched in stores too much. I should check my Walmart next time I’m in there.

    Wow, I wonder how Zoe felt. I can’t imagine thinking my husband was dead and then him suddenly appearing in front of me. Creepy yet probably tears of amazement. As long as Zoe hadn’t already remarried……
