Kelly Hampton loved once…and lost. After two years of looking for Sean MacKenzie in other men–and failing miserably–she takes a vow of celibacy. No sex until she finds love. Then Sean strolls back into her bar, reigniting old flames. No one has come close to understanding or satisfying her like he did. Her body burns for the passion they once shared, but her heart still remembers the pain.

Sean escaped Jessop Hill and his father’s fists in the middle of the night without a word–even to his love, Kelly–to protect his battered mother, but he never forgot the explosively erotic relationship he left behind. Now his father is dead and Sean is back for the only woman he’s ever wanted. Their reunion is full of fire; but can sexual attraction and noble intentions overcome years of heartache or will Kelly walk away to protect her heart this time.

Two years ago, Kelly Hampton’s heart was broken when Sean MacKenzie left Jessop Hill without one word to her.  After a string of men who came no where near the man that stole her heart, Kelly make a vow of celibacy (in front of a bar full of patrons).  While her patrons don’t believe her, Kelly swears she will not have sex with another man unless he’s willing to commit to forever.

Sean MacKenzie left Jessop Hill in the dead of night two years ago after escaping his abusive father and saving his mother.  He was determined to make sure his mother was safe and to do that he needed to leave everything in Jessop Hill behind, even Kelly.  Now his father is dead and he’s left with an inheritance that’s brought him back. Now that’s he’s back (and he knows Kelly is single) he determined to get the one woman he’s ever loved.

This was a story of coming back and asking for that second chance.  Kelly was devastated when Sean left, especially when he left with no word.  Now that he’s back, she isn’t sure what to believe and she struggles with an internal fight between her heart and her brain.  While her brain reminds her of her vow and that she doesn’t know where she stands with Sean, her heart knows that this man is the only one that she will ever love.  While she wants to believe that Sean is truly back for her and to stay, she does still have doubts and needs that proof that what they have is forever.

Sean knows he screwed up, but he had to put his mother’s welfare before his own happiness two years ago.  Now that his father is dead, he’s finally decided to put himself first.  He knows he has a lot of ground to make up with Kelly, but he’s willing to try.  He thinks he’s words are enough, but he soon learns he needs to make the big gesture.  After a slight misunderstanding, the big gesture works it charm.

It’s a very quick read, but it’s enjoyable with a nice second chance romance with some hot sex.
