ARC Book Review - Never Have I Ever, by S.L. Scott

 

Book Rating 

The book starts out with a one night stand between Laird Faris & Poppy Stanfield. Laird & Poppy have off the charts chemistry together for the 1-2 nights they are with each other. Laird wants to meet up with Poppy before his flight out so she can come with him, but she never comes and Laird assumes that she didn't want to go with him after all and that she stood him up. 

2 yrs later, we meet Poppy again, who is a private chef, who is working - you hire someone to come and cook for you. She is hired out to go work for Laird up at his family's cabin far away from LA. Laird can't believe she's in his house. Why is she stalking him now after 2 yrs of never seeing her? Laird doesn't realize she was hired by his sister or the record label to come and cook for him. Poppy doesn't know why Laird is being so weird and awful towards her. Finally Poppy states that she is there to cook and not anything else, and Laird realizes she is a chef. Laird also finds out that she was in a car wreck and  doesn't remember anything from when they were together 2 yrs ago. Poppy has amnesia! That is why she never made it to the diner / airplane because she was in a car wreck. She nearly died. Now Liard doesn't know how to treat her, how to be around her. 

Laird & Poppy work things out between them, and a power outage later has them in bed together! Now heading back to LA will put them both to the test with being with each other and being out in the paparazzi filled LA area. 

Poppy grew up with Marina Westcott and was always around her family. Marina  is an actress in movies and on Broadway, and she is married to a F1 racer, Cash Ryatt. When the accident happened Marina was there for Poppy and helped get most of her memories back, since she was in most of them anyways.

Will Poppy get her memories back? Will she realize it was Laird all along fate wanted her to be with? Will Laird be able to forgive himself and Poppy for leaving him 2 yrs ago? 

I did receive a free ARC copy of this book. I am freely leaving an honest review.
