I’ve been waiting-and it’s just not happening.Newly engaged and deliriously happy, Mattie, a talented graphic designer, and Jeremy, a successful partner in a law firm, look forward to a lifetime of wedding bliss in their new home in Sedona, Arizona.

Unable to face the memories that haunt her with every aching step, Mattie flees to Mercer Island, Washington to start over. Unfortunately, she can’t run away from the boundless pain as she struggles to make sense of the life she thought she knew – until she meets Cade. Tattooed engineer by day, lead singer in a rock band at night, Cade has experienced his own brand of pain with the loss of his college sweetheart. He and Mattie instantly bond over their mutual heartbreak, and as their friendship deepens, it ignites a new flame within Mattie, soothing the constant heartache for her former fiancée. Just when Mattie thinks she may have found another stab at happiness, Jeremy reenters her life, and with him, all the crushing memories.

Summary
Overall Intentional is an enjoyable debut by MK Harkins. Matti has graduated and started her own graphic design business. Matti moves to Sedona with her roommate and
childhood friend, Sara. Sara is starting her new job at Seth’s law firm. The book is written in multiple view points of the main characters which allows you to get
in their head and understand the decisions they were making. Matti finds her true love with Sarah’s boss, Jeremy. Sarah is not supportive. Jeremy and Matti are soul
mates, or so we think until the night of the office party. As a result, Matti leaves town and eventually meets Cade. Cade is a tattooed engineer who is also a rock star in the evening. Matti becomes friends with him and his band. Once Jeremy realizes what happened that fateful night he starts looking for Matti. Intentional was a solid
romance with the highs and lows of your first love. It is YA appropriate and enjoyable for a slightly more mature adult too. I will definitely read more by this author and am anxiously awaiting the next book,Unintentional.
