From Kelly Siskind comes a slow-burn romantic comedy about one man’s creative attempt to win back his high school sweetheart after a change in fortune gives them a second chance at love.
Growing up, I had it all–my art, close friends, a gorgeous girlfriend who owned my heart–but then my life exploded.
Turns out my father was laundering money, and my whole family got shoved into witness protection. No notice. No chance to explain. I was ripped away from beautiful, blue-eyed Delilah Moon, shattering both our worlds.
A decade later, fate has given us a second chance.
The cartel my father worked for has been wiped out. I’ve returned to my hometown, determined to win back the love of my life. But Delilah is engaged.
Or…is she?
I’m almost positive she’s lying about her fiancé to protect her heart. Which means I need to up my game.
I’ve made a list of fifty ways to prove we’re meant to be. Except Delilah’s barely looking at me, never mind swooning. I have a feeling my disappearance scarred her more than she’s admitting, and no one in town will tell me what happened…

Summary
50 Ways to Win Back Your Lover by Kelly Siskind has a very unique storyline. A mom and five brothers are in witness protection. This was a new perspective and story line for me so I enjoyed that piece very much. The opening scene captures your attention and you now this is going to be quite the story.
The story is labeled a romantic comedy. And Edgar is hilarious at times. However the story had very sad moments that I will not spoil for you and Edgar had several very serious revelations. None of this I would have expected from a romantic comedy.
The author did an amazing job of creating a very different kind of hero in Edgar. He is not the macho gym rat kind of guy. He feels deeply and is an artist. I am not into comics but would want to read his story.
The author also shared enough about the other brothers that we are trapped into the series and have to know what is going to happen to them.
This is my first book by this author and she is on the keeper shelf.
Sexual - several scenes and he seems to be thinking about it all the time.
Drinking - one of the brothers drinks a lot but is a side bit of the story,
Language - 4 f word is used over 50 times, and sh#t and D$mn are also used many time.
I received this book from Netgalley. I was not required to write a positive review.
