کتاب Looks Real Good Now (رمان به نظر می رسد واقعا خوب در حال حاضر)

Some yeses are easier to give than others…

Alana Fitzpatrick should be spending Christmas in Aspen, but she ruined her own plans when her (ex) boyfriend got down on one knee to propose…and she didn’t say yes.

She is dreading going home to Westchester, New York for the holidays. Facing her parents and the small-town gossip amid her not-so-impending nuptials does not sound like a merry time. That is, until an old childhood friend, and the first boy she ever loved, runs into her at the airport.

Liam Mulligan is also dreading the holidays. When an old shoulder injury reared its ugly head, he called time on his professional ice hockey career. Then his girlfriend of five years broke up with him. He is tired of telling everyone he is okay and having no one believe him, even though it’s the truth. Mostly.

When he bumps into Alana at the airport, he sees an opportunity.

The proposition is simple. Alana and Liam tell their parents that they recently reconnected and started dating. Everyone will be so distracted, that there will be no mention of failed proposals and early retirements.

What isn’t simple is keeping the old feelings they both ran away from as teenagers at bay. Will Liam be able to hold onto the most important person in his life? Will Alana finally stop running and let herself fall for the one that got away?

Or will they both learn that some things are only for a season?
