If the first time was a rehearsal, is this the real thing?
Directing a play in London’s West End was a lifelong dream, only I’m forced to share it with the same boy who broke my heart after being my first love and my first everything.
The last time I saw him, Anthony Dewhurst was all boy. But the Anthony I come face to face with now is all man—charismatic and devastatingly handsome, he’s the star of my new production, and my leading man – on stage, at least.
I’m determined to leave our chemistry where it belongs – firmly in the past, but Anthony is determined to be my leading man off stage too.
We’re not kids anymore, and my heart doesn’t think this is a rehearsal. Like all good love stories, the course isn’t going to run smooth, not when he’s carrying a secret that could destroy everything, including my heart – and his.
Was that summer romance a rehearsal for heart break, or a rehearsal for the real thing?
She is owned by several cats and many hens, narrowly avoiding being a mad cat woman by enslaving a very understanding husband.
She’s an avid reader of many genres and if she’s not writing a book, she’s usually reading one!

This is Maven Green's story, and it takes place in London where Maven has moved to be with her family. As the story opens, she has been promoted to director of a play and she has to decide who the shows leading man will be. One of the choices is Anthony who was her fling 13 years before when she was 18 and he was 21.
This is a second chance romance, and the author sends us back 13 years in the past throughout the story so we can see what happened that long ago summers when Maven and Anthony were together at a drama camp program and fell for each other.
This was a wonderful second chance romcom story with lots of theatre fun and some more serious things. In addition, we learn about Anthony's extremely complicated family situation as he ran away to the theatre many years ago and has issues with his younger brother.
This was a fast-paced story and a light read that I really enjoyed. The life of a director and on the stage in England was a really different story for me but I also really enjoyed it. There is a wide range of quirky characters that made this book amusing and very entertaining.
If you love second chance romances and life in the theatre, then you will love this lighthearted romance.
