Two-Hour Truce

A mixture of second chance with love-hate between old best friends, this is my kind of book. Aria and Tristan have a history that neither of them have recovered from because of the residual bitter feelings but when their paths cross again, the chemistry reignites. They are both 21 years old even though Aria is a single mother and Tristan is a savvy minded tech businessman and professor so they seem older but they are really still quite young. Lots of great elements in the book -the sexual tension, the antagonizing of each other, the resurfacing of old feelings and the reality of the present. I liked this story because it was hot and the characters were likeable but it did lack some in the crucial parts where the characters were finally building up towards their true feelings, some of that didn't elaborate itself well enough. The conflict was always there internally between them but when it came time to hash it out in the open, that fell a little short in the delivery. Otherwise, I admired Aria's realistic view of herself and Tristan's development towards being more open minded compared to before. Although they were moving forward, I wasn't completely sure if they fully accepted the past and forgave each other. The ending left me wondering if there would be another book to follow or not.
