BOOKWORM REVIEW: Moments in Time by K.K. Allen
.png)
RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
STEAM: 🔥🔥🔥
Violet Hart is the last person Jamison Bexley had expected to see at a high-end gentlemen's club in San Juan Islands. Yet there she is, the best friend Jami has crushed on terribly since they were younger. Now the woman he has not seen since leaving for college is right in front of him, and the feelings that Jami has suppressed for so long have come rushing back in.
Violet is not the same, however. She is a recently divorced single mother who is trying to make ends meet, juggling multiple jobs, and managing her jerk of an ex-husband. Jamison is the last person she needs in her complicated life right now.
Angst, angst, angst. I should have known from the wonderful angst-fest that was Weight of Regret that this book would follow suit. Violet has been dealt a rough hand since she left Orcas Island, but she is stubbornly independent. While her resilience is admirable, she eventually learns that it is nice to have someone in your life that you can count on. And Jamison - he tries so hard to prove that he is that person for Violet, and like a good friend and eventually lover, he steps up to show her. I really enjoyed the chemistry between these two. The flashbacks did a wonderful job of establishing their deep connection.
This is the second book in the series, so we get an update on Anderson and Hope and glimpses of the other siblings. I love that the dark emotional cloud over the Bexley siblings continues to slowly fade away in this read as they work together to rebuild their parent's summer camp. I am already counting down to the next Bexley story!

ABOUT THE BOOK
Jamison Bexley was the one who got away.
If only I hadn’t pushed him.
Seven years ago, he was my everything.
My confidant.
My safe haven.
My best friend.
However, dating was never an option.
Not when his eyes gravitated toward every girl in town but me.
That is, until the curse of bad timing found us both… and struck.
All it took was one night.
One big mistake.
Altering everything we could ever be.
I’m still paying for my sins all these years later.
Life has been downright cruel.
I’m working countless hours trying to hold onto the pieces of my shattered dreams.
Determined that nothing will keep me from my end-goal.
Until Jamison struts back into our small town and gets a first-hand glimpse of my life.
Suddenly, he wants to be my knight in shining armor.
But I don’t need a savior.
Those moments in time are long gone.
And he’s about to realize why.
