“Sawyer Bennett never fails to deliver heroes I fall hard for and heroines I adore.”—Violet Duke
BLURB:
Eden Goodnight went to Los Angeles to make it big, not to be publicly humiliated by her cheating fiancé at a red-carpet premiere. But when Eden returns to her hometown to put the scandal behind her, she can barely find a sympathetic shoulder to cry on. Turns out the locals are worse than the paparazzi, and they all think she’s turned into a spoiled brat. But in a strange twist of fate, the one person who seems to understand what Eden’s going through is Cooper Mayfield . . . the boy she left behind.
Small-town charm is no match for the glitz and glamour of Hollywood. At least that’s what Coop’s been telling himself all these years. As Eden’s old flame—and the landscaper for her family’s historic home—Coop feels some responsibility for getting her out of her funk. But as soon as he sees that million-dollar smile, he’s a goner. Soon they’re making out like teenagers again. But when a life-changing role falls into Eden’s lap, Coop just hopes she doesn’t give up on a love that’s meant to be.

OUR REVIEW:
“Sometimes you just have to go home, 5 stars”
Eden has it all by a lot of people’s standards. She’s got
fame and fortune, but is she happy? After being publicly humiliated she decides
to head home, a place she hasn’t spent any time at since she left fourteen
years ago. When she gets home she realizes it’s not the same. The town and
people have changed, just like she has. The biggest shock is seeing Coop, the
one guy she ever loved.
Coop is not the settle down type. He was at one point, but
that was blown out the window when he let the girl go so she could make a name
for herself. He sticks to casual and that’s how he likes it. But when Eden
comes strutting into town his head starts to turn.
He’s a small town, hardworking man. She lives life in a huge
city and is constantly in the public eye. They might have worked when they were
young and innocent, but could they figure it out now? Are they happy in where
they are in life? When you find your soulmate, anything is possible.
I loved Coop and Eden. I am from a small town so I got the
reaction the town had to Eden’s return. Coop and Eden as couple were explosive,
I was hooked to them from the start. When her career first took off they were
too young to figure out how to navigate her success and their relationship, but
now they are older and wiser. It’s not about money and fame any more and more
about being truly happy. I love how Eden found friendship in an unlikely
source. The story flowed flawlessly and sucked me in, which was a huge thing
where I had been having readers block for a week leading into this book.
Nothing sounded good to me reading wise and I just said screw it and clicked on
Jilted, thankfully it didn’t disappoint.
Here are a couple quotes from Jilted
that I liked;
“But this is Eden, and she’s unlike any other. She’s
everything I remembered but exponentially sexier.”
“I will never take you for granted. I will never take our
love for granted. I know this with surety because I believe I was put on this
earth with the sole purpose of loving you.”
“It was a long road we traveled to get here, but I wouldn’t
change a thing.”
