He’s my best friend, my high school sweetheart… and I’m pretty sure he hates my guts.It’s been four years since I last saw Carter, and running into him in the frozen foods aisle with three tubs of ice cream in my arms isn’t exactly ideal.I’m a hot mess, not even close to the successful veterinary student I left town to become. My dream school rejected me and now all I want to do is wallow through … want to do is wallow through the winter.
Carter, on the other hand, is just as tall, charming and handsome as ever, and one look into those chestnut eyes tells me I made a huge mistake. He’s got a thriving business, a surprisingly seductive new hobby, and he must be furious with me for ditching him.
But when he asks me to a New Year’s Eve party, I’m shocked.
Can it really be that simple to get a second chance at love, or does Carter have something else in mind as the ball drops?

Confetti & Charm is a New Year’s themed story about Rowan and Carter. They had been best friends and even dated for a while in high school. But Rowan went away to school as her dream was to become a vet. But things did not go quite to plan for Rowan as she ended up back at home in Happy Valley because her application to Cornell’s veterinary program was not accepted and she had not applied to a back-up school. She is doing an ice cream run, so she can drown her sorrows, when she and Carter cross paths at the supermarket. Carter invites her to a New Years Eve party where a kiss ignites some passions between them.

This story is a sweet and lovely second chance romance with two enjoyable characters in Rowan and Carter. It was an enjoyable story to read and I would recommend it to others.

I love second chance romance stories and this one was wonderful! Great characters and a story that had me captivated from the beginning!!
Rowen and Carter get to tell their story in this book, they’ve know each other since childhood and were always very close. But, life happens and you drift apart, but when given another chance at the one you love, you take it!
Rowan didn’t get into Cornell grad school for her veterinary school and she didn’t pick a back up school so she is now having to go back home and rethink her options. While going on an ice cream run, she runs into Carter, her best friend and boyfriend (for a while). They do go out together yet Rowan is trying not to let her feelings get too caught up in Carter as she knows she will be going away to school next semester. Yet the heart will not be denied. This is a cute story but at times I felt like Rowan wasn’t as invested in Carter as Carter was in her. I was a bit frustrated with her hot and coldness, especially since Carter was such a sweetheart.

Rowan left Holiday Valley to go to college, then hopefully to vet school at Cornell. She broke Carter’s heart in the process. A little snafu, and she missed a deadline, so she’s home for a few months. Carter has taken over the goat farm after his parents’ retirement. He’s never gotten over Rowan. When she comes back, he begins to hope for the future he’s always wanted with her. This is acute second chance story, with a bit of steam. It was fun to read, and watch these two figure out where they want to be, and if they can make a future together.

A sweet story about second chances. Rowan and Carter had been best friends since they were kids. The summer after graduation they started to date, but that changed when Rowan left to follow her dream of being a vet.
A good book for people who are romantic at heart.
Quick second chance romance about Rowan and Carter. Loved the story and the characters. Rowan and Carter started out as friends and had a whirlwind relationship when they were in high school but due to college choices, Rowan left. She is back and Carter is still in love with her as much as she is in love with him. It was great watching them get the HEA that they lost out on. Can’t wait to read the next story in this series.

Rowan’s dream is to become a vet and study it at the prestigious Cornell University School of Veterinary Medicine, but when she is rejected by that University, all her world crumbled down.
Carter is a goat farmer who never stops thinking about his first love. He can’t believe his eyes when he meets her again.
A sweet story about a couple in love that took separate ways to follow their dreams without realizing that the dream was just in front of them.
There’s not a whole lot going on in this second chance romance. Rowan and Carter were best friends in high school and became lovers for a short time before Rowan took off for college. Rowan returns home to Holiday Valley and they run into each other at the local grocery store as Rowan is stocking up on tubs of ice cream. Of course, she is dressed badly and her hair is a mess, but Carter invites her to a party anyway. Carter wants to start their relationship again since both of them still seem to care for each other. Will Rowan give him a chance to show her that he never stopped loving her? Will they both take advantage of the second chance they are being offered here?
This is another Holiday Valley story and it was such a heart warming one. Rowen and Carter have been glued to one another since they were kids. After graduating high school, that summer their long time friendship took a turn into something much more. Fall arrived and Rowen left for college with a broken heart. Carter was left with memories and a broken heart. It has been four years but Rowen returns to Holiday Valley since her cockiness seems to have failed her. She did not get into her dream college of Cornell for vet medicine for the spring program. As she is wallowing away and out to purchase more ice cream she runs into Carter. Can these two figure things out in round two? What a great short story I loved it. The characters are so sweet and real, their journey to HEA is always a pleasurable read. Enjoy!
