That One Regret
The Heartbreak Brothers Next Generation #1
by Carrie Elks
When Grace tries to steal Michael’s cab in the middle of a torrential downpour, their chemistry is instant. And after one unforgettable night in his hotel room, it looks like life is finally going her way.
But in the morning a shocking revelation rips her world apart, and she has to leave him for good without saying goodbye. A year later, Grace is living quietly in her small hometown when she sees Michael storming toward her. He demands answers, so she tells him exactly why she left that morning. Michael agrees they should avoid each other, but he’s staying in her small town for a few months, and not bumping into each other is almost impossible. He’s not supposed to touch her. Or kiss her until they’re both breathless and needy. And he’s definitely not supposed to make her fall for him. But forbidden fruit always tastes the sweetest. At least until you get found out…
That One Regret is a standalone forbidden age gap romance set in the small town of Hartson’s Creek.

Favorite Quotes:
It’s like being a teenager again. Except he knows what he’s doing.
… he didn’t want to be drawing a social security check and sitting on the PTA at the same time.
My Review:
This was an amusing tale that was a delight to read and the perfect way to kick off a new series. The plot lines were well paced and easy to follow, the characters were highly likable and endearing, the angst and conflict were kept to a minimum, the banter and humor were witty and kept a smile on my face, while the romance was full of heat as well as sweetness. I’m already looking forward to subsequent installments.
Carrie Elks writes contemporary romance with a sizzling edge. Her first book, Fix You, has been translated into eight languages and made a surprise appearance on Big Brother in Brazil. Luckily for her, it wasn’t voted out. Carrie lives with her husband, two lovely children, and a larger-than-life black pug called Plato. When she isn’t writing or reading, she can be found baking, drinking an occasional (!) glass of wine, or chatting on social media.
