Review Tour + #Giveaway: Restart in Bristol by Sedona Hutton @SedonaHutton @GoddessFish



Restart in Bristol
by Sedona Hutton
GENRE: Contemporary Romance


BLURB:

He’s a hot mess. She wants stability. Will these childhood sweethearts risk another pass at love?

Veterinarian Holly Nicholson longs to put down roots. And with a growing practice and pending nuptials to a handsome doctor, her dream future is finally within reach. But when her NASCAR racing high-school steady rolls into town, Holly’s heart takes an off-track excursion.

Curtis “CC” Clark burned out from life in the fast lane. Switching gears, he moves to a small town in search of some cosmic signpost to reveal his destiny and crosses paths with the only girl he’s ever loved. But he’s worried fate sent him into the pits when he finds out she’s engaged.

Between working at the same animal shelter and her engagement crumbling, Holly can feel old desires stirring. But before they can pick up speed, CC gets his big chance for a high-profile comeback. And returning to the road may mean giving up his beloved forever.

Can CC and Holly find common ground and take their love across the finish line?

Restart in Bristol is the third standalone novel in the Racing Hearts in Serenity contemporary romance series. If you like bad boys with a heart of gold, strong women, and a touch of new age spirituality, then you’ll adore Sedona Hutton’s fun, sexy romance.


Excerpt:


Curtis rested his forehead against Holly’s, and her heart decided. She nodded in agreement.

“Is that a yes?” he asked, his voice low and husky.

“Yes.” Her response came out breathy, which didn’t surprise her. Whenever she was around Curtis, she felt like a breathless teenage girl.

“You won’t be sorry.” He brushed a hand through her hair. “Damn, you’re beautiful.”

She let out a nervous laugh. It was so dark that all she could make out were shadowy images. His words were sweet, but that didn’t stop the insecurity from poking at her insides. She didn’t look anything like the stunning women she’d seen him with over the years.

“That, coming from you.” She shook her head. “You’ve always seemed to have a steady stream of gorgeous women.”

“You can’t believe everything you read.”

Maybe she shouldn’t, but she’d read the articles and she’d seen the pictures. She wondered if any of those women had meant anything to him and if he’d found love over the last decade. She didn’t want to ask, but she needed to know. “What was your longest relationship?” she asked, scuffing her sandal on the floor.

He ran a hand through his hair. Maybe it had only been a few weeks, which is what the Internet had led her to believe.

“Over six months,” he said, surprising her.

She tilted her head. “Why did you break up?”

His pause was long, but she held the silence, determined to wait him out. After what felt like an hour, he finally responded. “Georgiana thought I was still hung up on you.”



My Review:

Veterinarian Holly Nicholson’s dreams are finally coming true. Her veterinarian practice is getting off to a great start. She has bought her dream home and engaged to a very handsome doctor. What more could a girl want?

Everything is going just swell until end walks Curtis “CC” Clark an old boyfriend of Holly’s from school. Holly and CC have known each other for a long time. They were high school sweet hearts but something went wrong and they went their separate ways.

Now years later Holly’s heart still flip flops when she lays eyes on him. Holly still has feelings for CC but she can’t act on those feelings as she is an engaged woman. CC has never gotten over Holly and has gone through a slew of women since he and Holly broke up all those years ago trying to find the right one.

I think Holly and CC are made for each other and are soulmates but can they ever be together? Both CC and Holly are great people with big hearts that care about people and animals. I loved seeing these two together and working together they make a great team. They are both laid back people and so easy going.

Restart in Bristol book 3 is the second book in the Racing Heart Serenity Series that I have read and I really enjoyed both. The first book in the Racing Heart Serenity Series I read was book 2 The Perfect Lap. If I had to choose between the two as to which I liked the best I don’t think I could. They are both well written and both have wonderful characters with amazing stories. I can’t wait to read more in the Racing Heart Serenity Series and more by this author.


If you like fun romance with great characters then you are going to love Restart in Bristol.
