What if you could have one more night with someone from your past---would you seize the opportunity, or would you just let it pass you by....?
Hailey Michaels has it all: beauty, fast-paced career in the publishing industry, a loving child and she is engaged to the man of her dreams.
Hailey's life is perfect....or so she thought.
It all starts with a question: if you could have one more chance with someone from your past, would you take it?
This gets Hailey thinking about Aden St Clare, the handsome, charismatic lead singer of the band, Cooper. He and Hailey dated back when she was twenty, and Cooper was just getting started.
Hailey's heart raced, just thinking about Aden....his dark blue eyes, dark hair and the way his arms felt when he pulled her close, holding her tightly.
Then out of the blue, Hailey and Aden began to drift apart. She figured it was because their lives took them in different directions: Cooper was in their heyday, becoming well-known and popular throughout the world; and Hailey had just landed her dream job of becoming a writer at a magazine in New York City.
Though she and Aden hadn't talked in a while, her job gave her the opportunity to keep up with what was going on with Cooper. She had heard about Aden's marriages and the birth of his children. While she felt bad for him, Hailey knew she also had a piece of Aden as well: her son, Lucas. Everytime she looked into his sweet little face, she could see Aden.
But Hailey couldn't bring herself to tell Aden that Lucas was his because she didn't want to turn lives upside down. But now there would be no getting out of it. She and Aden are once again thrown together as Hailey has to interview him and the band for Cooper's thirtieth anniversary.
Can Hailey figure out where her heart lies, before everyone involved gets hurt?

For a synopsis aren't you hiding the hook? Also the guy seems a bit like a loser. I want to be reluctantly drawn to him like Hailey.
ReplyDeleteI think you need more hook especially if this is a synopsis going to prospective buyers.
Clean writing, interesting overall plot if slow to start.
The synopsis seems out of order. I don't know why they split, the time line seems messed up. I go from the fun with the girls, to the break up with old boyfriend to them seeing each other again. But it's all muddled.
I think it needs more focus and more temptation for the reader.
It's a quick fix, though.

One of the confusing points is that you say Lucas is Aden's son, and in the next sentence you say he MIGHT be his son.
ReplyDeleteYes, more clarification and "un-muddling".
Some grammatical things in 3rd paragraph need work.
Should be a good read when you get things cleared up! Good luck.
I'm going to try to mention different things than the other posts I read. I agree with it lacking a hook. Although since it seems the story is about Hailey there has to be a way to show some personality for her. Right now, just from the synopsis, her situation isn't all that interesting and she's not that interesting in it--hence lacking the hook--and lastly there's a pet peeve I have. The character that "has it all" wouldn't be needing anything. They have it all. I'm sure it's labeled a cliche, even in a synopsis.
