He’d had his own baby. Without her.Dusty Cavanaugh has loved Kendra Price since she walked into the school cafeteria and captured a dozen boyish hearts with the sweep of her stormy gray-green gaze and the lift of her chin. College, marriage, and children had been the plan. But then Dusty made a mistake.Kendra Price had never wanted to be rich, but she’d wanted to be comfortable, which she was. … which she was. She’d never wanted to be famous, but to live her passion to the fullest and dance, which she did. She’d wanted to marry Dusty, have babies and live happily ever after. It would never happen.
There had been no road map for life apart. Is love enough to guide them back?
She’d wanted to dance, get married and have babies…all she had left was dance.
He had everything a man could want–except her forgiveness…

This is a wonderful tale of forgiveness, and I love that I believed it could happen. Dusty screwed up big time and I didn’t think he had a chance… then I realized he screwed up even worse than I had thought to begin with!
StJohn cuts to the heart of real forgiveness. We forgive offenders more for ourselves than for their’s.
I couldn’t put this down, so make sure you start page one with plenty of time.
What an angst filled, heart cringing book. I DO NOT DO SPOILERS. What I will tell you is this is a book about mistakes, amends, forgiveness, acceptance, encouragement and love. Real love that knows we are all just a little bit broken, but still worthy and redeemable. Real love that listens. Real love that lasts. This author is amazing. One click it. Read it. You won’t be sorry!
I loved the characters and the small town setting. Kendra using her talent to nurture and mentor aspiring young dancers. Dusty’s love and devotion to his little boy. Jonas Finch and the role he plays in bringing Kendra and Dusty together.
I love Cheryl St. John’s voice anyway, and have missed it recently, but it grew richer on her sabbatical from writing, and the Aspen Gold couldn’t have chosen a better story to start what promises to be an exciting series. What came between Kendra and Dusty would have been a relationship-destroyer to the best of us, and going with them on the winding path back was a wonderful read.
I couldn’t put this book down! It’s a fantastic story about second chances and forgiveness. Very realistic characters with a story that grabs you and takes on a roller coaster ride of emotions till you reach the happy ending.
Having just finished reading this book, grabbed a cup of coffee to sit down and share my thoughts on this book, I hardly know where to start. I don’t want to be a spoiler so just let me say, this is a “must read” story and one I won’t forget for a long time. First love became their only love but there was a whole lot of intrigue, misunderstanding and anger along the way. Old Jonas said that his Rebecca was his one and only love and that belief holds true for many people not only in this book but in every day lives. “There was no healing without pain, no acceptance without grief. “I love that line and I’ve taped it to my computer.
This story-line will make you smile; it will give way to tears; and, you will feel love in your heart as you reach The End. I thank the author for giving me the ARC and an opportunity to read this great book.
This is the first book in the new Aspen Gold series by multi authors.
What a roller coaster ride Ms. St John has sent us on. This is an excellent start to a new series and one that you can’t put down.
I love the hero and heroine and the hero’s family, but such struggles keep them apart. Of course, a baby years ago put a real cork in their romance when our hero ends up getting someone else pregnant.
The concept of this book is amazing and it takes us on the big adventure and has those times you think all things will be well but another wrench gets stuck into the action.
I highly recommend this wonderful story. If the rest of this series is like this it will be one good series of books.
I received an ARC copy to read but was not asked to review.
I wanted to do a review because I really loved this story and wanted to let others know about it. I didn’t receive anything other than this ARC to read, so no compensation at all.
