I loved Ava and Cash in Undone by Amy Knupp, book three in her Dragonfly Lake series, a beautiful second chance story of reconnecting with your first love. There seemed to be a bit of a mystery surrounding Cash Henry; that feeling of “the one who got away." He's a bit of a grump, but he's an outstanding chef, his skills putting the family’s restaurant in Dragonfly Lake on the map. He fills his days with family and his kitchen, while dating is far down the list of priorities. But his priorities get a bit of an adjustment the day he quite literally bumps into Ava Dean outside the hardware store. Ava hasn’t been home to Dragonfly Lake in years, leaving town immediately after Cash broke her young heart. Now that her wonderful Aunt Phyllis has died and left Ava the Honeysuckle Inn, Ava has her work cut out for herself with repairs and staffing issues. She has no intention of staying in town when her screenplay for a TV series is about to be produced back in LA. Ava realizes after spending time with Cash that after all these years their attraction is still there and their chemistry still sizzles and burns. They had a number of obstacles to overcome; she was living across the country in LA and his restaurant is in Dragonfly Lake. It will take some personal growth to help them figure out what they want out of life, as they navigate, change and rearrange their dreams. Sometimes, life goals can be changed, for the best.
Ms. Knupp wrote an emotional, wonderful, heartwarming, second chance romance with all the amazing small town vibe that kept me turning the pages as I followed Ava and Cash’s journey to figure out what’s really important in life, before it’s too late. She provided a tale rich with magnetic attraction, sizzling chemistry, clever banter, and charming characters giving Ava and Cash a chance at love, happiness, and a future together. I highly recommend Undone to other readers.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
