Once Elena Jones had shared an intense entanglement with striking Spaniard Caleb Araya, ending with both their hearts in tatters. Now she's a successful entrepreneur, and when he rejects a new business proposition, it's clear Caleb hasn't forgotten…

When an accident causes the tycoon to lose his memory, Caleb seems to think they are still a couple! Elena wants to help him recover…but will staying in Barcelona with him just put her heart in jeopardy again?

With the latest in the Romantic Getaways series, Christy McKellen brings us a story from Barcelona! It’s a fast read and keeps your attention from the beginning. The characters are likable and draw us into their story and keep us hoping for that happily-ever-after!

Business woman Elena Jones travels from her home in England to see her old friend Caleb Araya in Barcelona with a business proposition. They were the best of friends for a time in college, with the hope of more until she broke his heart.

Caleb Araya is shocked to see Elena, and isn’t open to doing business with her. He’s never forgiven her for the cold-hearted way she ended things with him all those years ago and could never bring himself to trust her again. He’s lived his life around never letting his guard down like that again!

When an accident takes away Caleb’s memory from their time together, and happenstance has her nearby, he mistakenly thing they are a couple. She can’t walk away when he needs her, so she keeps up the pretense. Will he forgive her when his memory comes flooding back or will he be done with her once and for all?

Weren't rules made to be broken…?

Play-by-the-rules good girl Emily Parker is finally flying free. Literally. After a broken engagement, she's about to live out her wildest dream: getting her pilot's license. With former Air Force pilot Stone Mcallister teaching her, though, it's not just the altitude making her dizzy….

Once he settles his father's estate, Stone's heading back to the Air Force. When Emily expresses interest in some no-strings fun, he can't resist, but a single kiss proves that a fling won't be enough. As the clock ticks down to his deployment, will he be able to break his own rules for her?

A fun, sweet & sexy read, all rolled into one! The main characters have great chemistry and a quick wit with each other that has you smiling as you are reading. There were a couple of slow spots, but overall, it was a great read that has you thinking about redemption for regrets from the past, and the fact that it’s never too late to reach for your dreams!

Emily Parker is spending a lot of time re-thinking her life. She’s recently split from the fiance she thought she was going to spend the rest of that life with, and it’s making her realize she doesn’t want to be the reliable good-girl anymore … she wants to live a little!

Former Air Force pilot Stone Mcallister is only staying in town long enough to get his dad’s estate in order before he rejoins the Air Force. He’s not a forever kind of guy, but when Emily Parker crosses his path, he wonders if maybe he could be! Agreeing to help her get her pilot license is a big step for him because it means he has to have temptation by his side day in and day out. When she also decides to throw in the offer for a one-night fling, he just can’t help himself! Will he see that maybe forever isn’t so bad?
