A Simple Love by Melanie Moreland
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Oliver and Kassie share a past, that has left them both raw. Oliver went and became Holiwood royalty and never looked back, Kassie went to the big city to do her own thing but ended up back home after a disaster. But now he’s back in her orbit and the carefully constructed walls are about to tumble down.
Oliver never forgot his first love. He knows he mess up big time and is taking being back home as a chance to seek forgiveness and maybe become friends yet again. But old feelings are just below the surface and they can not wait to burst open. When they fall back into each others arms everything falls into place. But Oliver’s new big break in on the horizon and he needs to decide if they second chance is worth fighting for.
I love Melanie Moreland and her way of writing. Every single time i fall for our MC and these two were adorable to love. This was light, funny and swoon all at the same time.

New York Times/USA Today bestselling author Melanie Moreland, lives a happy and content life in a quiet area of Ontario with her beloved husband of twenty-seven-plus years and their rescue cat, Amber. Nothing means more to her than her friends and family, and she cherishes every moment spent with them.
While seriously addicted to coffee, and highly challenged with all things computer-related and technical, she relishes baking, cooking, and trying new recipes for people to sample.
She loves to throw dinner parties, and also enjoys traveling, here and abroad, but finds coming home is always the best part of any trip.
Melanie loves stories, especially paired with a good wine, and enjoys skydiving (free falling over a fleck of dust) extreme snowboarding (falling down stairs) and piloting her own helicopter (tripping over her own feet.) She’s learned happily ever afters, even bumpy ones, are all in how you tell the story.
