review 1: Good story of two people at crossroads in their lives, how they helped each other and found love at the same time. Molly had known Dylan when she was a teenager and he was her sister's boyfriend. He'd been a bad boy motorcycle rider who always had a kind word for her awkward self. He left town the day of her sister's wedding, but not before promising Molly an adventure any time she wanted it, once she'd grown up.Molly had had a huge crush on Dylan and was sad when Dylan left town. Fourteen years later her life is a mess and she needs a break. When she comes across the ring he had given her, she remembers his promise and decides to look him up, hoping for an adventure that will take her mind off her troubles. She screws up her courage and reminds him of his promise, challen... moreging him to keep it. When Dylan left their hometown he set out on a path that has transformed him into the owner of a successful motorcycle design company. It's so successful that he has had an offer to buy the company. He's not sure what he wants to do, as he spends so much time now on paperwork he no longer has time to do the design work that he loves. If he sells, he can concentrate on designing, but he would be working for someone else. If he doesn't he's still stuck with all the paperwork. When Molly arrives, he remembers the promise, and thinks that some time away may be just what he needs to clear his head and make a decision. I loved seeing Molly and Dylan together. Molly still has her crush, but is working to keep it contained. She's grown out of her awkward stage, but still doesn't see herself as attractive enough to appeal to a hunk like Dylan. Her self esteem has taken a hit with the loss of her job and her ex-fiance's cheating. She's also undergoing a health crisis that has her on edge. But with Dylan she's learning how to have fun. She's also discovered that her crush never really went away, and being with Dylan those feelings are turning into love. She's impressed with the man he has become, not just his success but also the way she can talk to him about anything. When their attraction blossoms she has a hard time believing he could really want her, but he does a great job of showing her.Dylan was a great guy. His "bad boy" status doesn't really apply any longer, as he is a responsible businessman. He was surprised by Molly's arrival and how pretty she had grown up to be. When he hears her request he realizes that helping her could help him also. I loved seeing how connected he felt to Molly from the start. As they began their adventure, Dylan seems to have an instinctive sensitivity to what Molly needs. He sees her insecurities and works hard to show her how special she is. The more time he spends with her, the stronger his feelings for her grow. In spite of his success, he still doesn't feel like he is the type of person she would want in her life. When their adventure is over, both Molly and Dylan have decisions they have to make about their futures. Both of them discover that they are not happy without the other in their lives. I loved seeing the difference the trip made in Molly's outlook and how that affected her decisions. Dylan also had to face the fact that he had fallen in love with Molly, something he had never thought possible. I loved seeing what he did with his decisions. His big moment with Molly at the end was really sweet,
review 2: I totally loved this story, it has a lot of serious issues that I thought the author covered it wonderfully. This is one of Susan first books, for a first time author I thought it was an outstanding read. Molly is a very insecure person because of her mother and things that happen when she was younger. I don’t know of any child growing up with a beautiful thin sister who was built like a model and you the younger one are short and on the chucky side wouldn’t feel this way. I understood how she felt and why she had the issues she had. I found Molly to be humors, funny and loving, mostly putting others before herself.Molly has lost her job, her fiancé and got bad news of the worse kind all within hours apart. She decided she needs to get away until she can work out the best thing to do. She isn’t sure where to go or what to do, her sister want her with her. She just doesn’t want to be in the way, as she is packing she finds the wedding ring her sister ex gave her back 14 years ago. He told her if she wanted adventure to come look him up and they will take off at anytime. She does some checking and shows up at his buisness….off they go Dylan has always been the bad boy on a bike, he thought he was in love with Molly’s sister. The day he shows up at the wedding and watches her marry someone else he is tore up. Molly stops him they talk and he gives Molly the wedding ring he bought for her sister. You bring this to me at anytime when you are older if you ever want an adventure. Years go by, he has built up his motorcycle business, a big company wants to buy him out, he is undecided what to do. Molly shows up, wow she doesn’t look like the young kid he remembered. They do some chatting and off they go…This story is based on finding yourself, understanding that person, and finding out what you really want in life. Sometimes what you really want isn’t truly what you want and other times it might be. Everyone should take time out just to be a little wild, to forget and find their selves. You have two people who want some space for two different reason, they come together, supporting the other and come to understand what they truly need and want. This is a wonderful story of a first time crush, going back and seeing what it was all about why finding some peace for oneself. For me this was a page turner, the author had me from the beginning. I couldn’t wait to see what happened. What Molly’s big secret was and how she would deal with it. Molly does have an issue about her weight but I would think most women who are on the shorter side do. I felt Molly issues were realistic, I feel a lot of women feel the same way. She isn’t fat by any means but she isn’t the size that life thinks we should be either. I found Molly to be a delightful character even with her being a insecure person she was wonderful, funny and loved life. I doubt women who face her issues most likely wouldn’t have done as well. Dylan is a hottie for sure is wonderful, caring and supporting person. He is strong, caring but very much a man, he still has a little of that bad boy charm which makes him endearing. I think most women would love to have a Dylan in their life. I felt the author did a wonderful job, it was well written with wonderful messages to remind us of what is important. This story will pull at your heart strings at the same time making you smile. It is a well told story with it ending around Christmas where 14 years ago at Christmas it all ended. This is an outstanding read that will put you in the Christmas spirit. less
