💭Our Thoughts

This was a cute second-chance romance with all the small-town feels

I do wish it had been a touch longer, only because I wanted more time with everyone.

I enjoyed the no-fuss way our two high school sweethearts reconnected.

Callie's "support group", her BFFs were awesome and they weren't afraid to give that push she needed.

I mean it was obvious that they still loved each other thank goodness

Macon wasn't about to give her up a second time.

And Poppy... OMG, absolutely adored her!!!

This is the first in the series and gives us a bit of a town tour as well as introduces us to the characters who live there.

We also get a glimpse at the second book's possibilities, which have me excited

Great quick read, with plenty of spice, romance, some laughter, and an awesome HEA
