review 1: Oh boy, I seriously loved this book!!!! Such a fun and engaging story. The story has some seriously emotional moments, but most of the time it is laugh out loud funny!The story is a typical chick-lit romance trope. Nothing wrong with that though, there is a reason those tropes stand the test of time. Reunited lovers, who had a baby as teens, yup that is a delightful classic!I love Betts, she is fantastic! There is something more than a little likeable about her. She breaks your heart then makes you giggle the next moment. You really want to route for her. Gabe is a yummy cowboy. I wanted to see the fences mended in the worst kind of way. He seriously grew up from his youthful stupidity. The banter between Betts and Gabe is incredible. I loved them together, they were great... more even when they were still mad at each other. They are a perfect pair and you want to see them work it all out. Add to the top of that the quirky supporting cast. Love her Mama and best friends. Can not wait to see how this series plays out.The narrative is mixed, you get both leads POV and the teen romance as well. It is great to see it all play out and a little bit of history repeating itself. It is a great story that I could read again.I listened to the audiobook narrated by Pam Dougherty, who is amazing!! The characters have southern accents, but they are doe with a light touch. Such a delight to listen to the smooth tones and swift pace. She really gets all the amusing moments and brings them to life in a brilliant manner. She has terrific energy that brings all the emotion to life. I am definitely looking for more of her reads!!Overall this is a great book. Fun chick-lit with a touch of emotion. I can not wait to read HEA for Charlie and Lucky!!Disclosure - I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts. opinions and ratings are my own.
review 2: A lovely story. The flow of the story lines is much smoother than Perfect Summer, but I loved the character just a little more.. Only one moment in the story strongly struck me as false, which is actually amazing for a romance novel, and even mentioning is it unfortunately a huge spoiler. I still feel like characters let go of their distrust far more easily than I would expect, and the conflict isn't as strong, therefore, which would strengthen the story even more. However, it was a good book, with truly endearing characters, and even the subplot was good. less
