Recently divorced Sydney returns home to Rose Bend after leaving eight years earlier after the death of her sister. Coming home isn’t easy after her parents turned their backs on her but now pregnant, she’s determined to make a new life for herself. What she doesn’t expect is to fall for widower Cole. Cole is struggling to come to terms with the loss of his wife and unborn baby but can’t help being drawn to Sydney.
Both characters are deeply drawn and have a huge amount of baggage. The levels of attraction run high but so do the stakes creating a huge amount of emotional conflict and some great tension. I loved the small town setting and Cole’s family dynamics, as well as the writing style. There’s a little bit of humour here and there, plenty of angst and some steamy scenes to boot. Overall, this book has a bit of everything and is a great read for summer.
I’d also like to say a huge thank you to Mills and Boon for having me on their blog tour 💖
