It can be read as a standalone, complete with a HEA.<\/p>\n<p>Julia Caldwell has long since mastered the art of seduction in order to catch the only thing on her radar; one night stands. Having two failed marriages under her belt, she\u2019s learned to keep her feelings in check and remain aloof, not wanting to get caught up in another pesky relationship only for it to end eventually in heartache. As the manager of a prestigious Hair Salon in Nashville, she succeeds in keeping the opposite sex at arms-length except when it suits her and her needs. That is until she lands on Cottage Grove soil.<\/p>\n<p>Dean Parker has just as many failed marriages against him, and with being a divorce lawyer it eventually has him thinking that\u2019s why his conquests always fall through, due to his occupation. After seeing his two childhood friends rekindle their flame and earning the happily ever after he so desperately craves, he decides to give up. That it\u2019s not worth the heartache he\u2019s been put through. Until he meets the snarky spitfire who gets under his skin.<\/p>\n<p>Throwing the two of them together in the same town for the wedding of their best friends, Julia isn\u2019t against having another fling, even if it is with Dean, but he definitely has other plans of making it more than that. Amongst their non-defined affair, lurking somewhere in the darkness is a shadow from one of their pasts who will stop at nothing to make sure that happily ever after\u2019s stay where they belong, in the fairy tales.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6166\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/TBR.png?resize=113%2C51\" alt=\"TBR\" width=\"113\" height=\"51\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/book\/show\/25441224-more-than-a-fling\">Goodreads<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6156\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/Buy-Links.png?resize=158%2C45\" alt=\"Buy Links\" width=\"158\" height=\"45\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Cottage-Grove-3-Book-Series\/dp\/B0198BXM6K\/ref=sr_1_1_ha?s=digital-text&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1471111321&amp;sr=1-1&amp;keywords=more+than+a+memory+amber+nation\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6154\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/angies-review.png?resize=230%2C50\" alt=\"angies review\" width=\"230\" height=\"50\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>I received this book for an honest review.<\/p>\n<p>DEAN!!\u00a0 YES!!\u00a0 I was so excited for this book.\u00a0 He is cocky, arrogant, hawt and just puuuuurfect for me.\u00a0 Julia is so sassy, feisty and the perfect woman to keep this lawyer on the defense!<\/p>\n<p>When Dean and Julia meet there was instant chemistry.\u00a0 They both called it like they saw it and I loved it.\u00a0 This book throws our two favorite besties together for Eden and Baylor\u2019s wedding.\u00a0 The instant they are together the digs and banter starts.\u00a0 I swear I am laughing and then screaming KISS ALREADY!!!\u00a0 They are so perfect for each other but they drive everyone crazy by denying it.<\/p>\n<p>When Eden and Baylor leave for their honeymoon, we see Julia and Dean actually spending time together and realizing that they LIKE each other. \u00a0I love that Dean keeps teasing Julia by saying \u201cAhh you like me\u201c because, in fact, they more than like each other.\u00a0 The chemistry is crazy and Julia is freaking out.\u00a0 We don\u2019t know YET why she is so closed off to love.\u00a0 She tells Dean a lot about her past but not the WHY never again.\u00a0 Something happens that sends Julia running for the hills.\u00a0 But my future baby daddy Dean won\u2019t give up.\u00a0 OMG I was SWOONING at him and all l the stuff he does\u2026\u2026the texts, the Christmas gift\u2026\u2026Yes full on love with this man.<\/p>\n<p>When Julia\u2019s past comes back to haunt her, Dean is freaking out because he needs his woman and he needs her ASAP!!!<\/p>\n<p>I seriously can\u2019t tell you how much I loved this character but I gotta tell ya\u2026baby brother Bentely\u2019s book\u2026.it looks like it is going to be a good one too\u2026..<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-6153\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/twinsietalk.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/01\/about-the-author.png?resize=231%2C55\" alt=\"about the author\" width=\"231\" height=\"55\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Amber is a stay at home mom currently residing in Southern Indiana with her husband and two beautiful daughters.
