GRR Reviews The Best Is Yet To Come by Alison Kent

The Best Is Yet To Come is a contemporary romance featuring the "I ain't quite over you" trope as well as "hidden identities" on both sides to good effect. Add family obligation to that and it got angst-y.

Milla Page, as a writer for a dating website, needed dates to review hot date spots like restaurants and clubs. When none of her usual friends were available, she dipped into her ladies' lounge bowl of business cards... and found a name she hadn't seen for six years... Rennie Bergen. Rennie was her college boyfriend's roommate... she tutored him for four years, and... they had a relationship behind her boyfriend's back. But when push came to shove, she left him behind, partly out of family obligation. Six years later, she saw his name and knew she's not over him... Rennie did not expect to see Milla ever again, but he's certainly not unhappy about it when she showed up at his garage. But he's not ready to show her all of his world, including his TV series: Hell on Wheels, not until he knew she came for him, Rennie her ex-lover, not Rennie, hot rich TV celebrity. Even as they snuck around and pick up where they left off, can they handle the secrets that they had been keeping from each other?

Both have secrets they've been keeping from each other. Milla had reasons to leave Rennie behind and it had nothing to do with love but everything to do with obligations. And it was an interesting trip to see how they finally get their HEA.
