Now and Then (Now #1)
Release Date: 08/04/13

Summary from Goodreads:

Now Emmaline Carson is a sharp, settled graphic designer who loves painting, cooking and girls’ night out with her older sister Layla. But then – in the years before she went to art school in Paris – she was a shy, awkward teenager with frizzy hair, a flat chest and a massive crush on the boy across the street, Cole Marlowe. Too bad her incredibly hot neighbor only had eyes for Layla.

Cole is now a confident, laid-back attorney who’s even hotter than he used to be. He’s planning to stay single while working his way up the corporate ladder – until he’s knocked off course by a chance run-in with Emma.
Everything is different between Cole and Emma now. He finally sees her in a way she only dreamed of, and their hot chemistry is fueled by a growing friendship. But Emma’s deception of her sister – who wants Cole for herself – and the secret Cole’s been keeping for more than a decade threaten to tear apart what’s only just begun. Because sometimes the only thing standing in the way of now is then.

My review

4.5 of 5 stars

This book was fabulous! I loved the story, the way it was in the present and the the past, explaining wwhat happened when they were in high school. I loved all the characters. Except, maybe, Layla (Emma's sister). Agh, I couldn't stand her. She's so bitchy. But don't worry, it does get better. Now lets get to Cole. I loved all of him! He is so cute, romantic, loves Emma, and the fact that he doesn't want to hide their relationship is so sweet. Emma is this beautiful artist that, first doesn't have any idea that she's gorgeous (for living in the shadows of her cheerleader sister all those high school years), and has had a crush on Cole since he and his family moved in when she was twelve, and he was fifteen. I think it's a most read and I can't wait for book two in this series, Now and Again, That it's scheduled for this month! By the way, Now and Again is Layla's story! I already have a review copy for it, thanks to YA Bound Book Tours!
