I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
This was a great book !
Cassie always knew what her path would be.
Colt always knew what his path would be.
They thought that even though they had different paths, it would still lead to each other.
After 10 years, Cassie is back.
Will their paths still keep them apart ?
Loved the characters + the storytelling !
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
Another great story in this series. I really enjoyed Cassie and Colt’s story and seeing things turn around as well as them finally taking and clearing the air, to try again. Sophie’s story just broke my heart, but I was glad that with Kelly’s help that it ended up in a very good place for Sophie, she definitely deserves a good life. Of course, I have to mention that it was great to see our friends again and especially with Peter and his ‘fixer’ hat on and I always love seeing Joe and especially Gramps. I also thought Ivan’s backpack project was a very touching part of this story as well. I’m wondering whose story we’ll see next.
This story is not just a love rekindled, but a love that heals! Colt and Cassie not only have a forever love for each other, but love for a girl who just needs a chance. SJ has shed a light on Children’s Services and it has touched my heart. I love all of SJ’s books, but Colt and Cassie’s story hits close to home. Plus we get to visit with some old friends from Summer Lake that have been deeply missed.
Another great book by SJ McCoy. I have read all the books by the author but felt this book had a more personal storyline. I always wondered what Cassie and Colt’s story was. I was definitely not disappointed. It was great to see some old friends make appearances again especially some of the original Summer Lake gang. I think SJ is going to have to provide a family tree soon with the series.
This book definitely had a different feel to the others, and this was not a bad thing. The sub plot of Sophie was heartbreaking and wonderful at the same time. It was told with such care and detail to what the “system” must be for abandoned children. SJ highlighted the issue with empathy and understanding.
Without spoiling the plot I would love to see how Sophie is getting on in future books.
I am hoping Austin and Amber get their story soon.
Thank you again SJ for a wonderful book. Bravo!
I’m really enjoying this series. SJ McCoy has done it again. I absolutely loved Colt and Cassie’s story and catching up with some of the other characters.
I received the book as an ARC but truly loved the book and voluntarily leave my review.
This is the 5th book in this awesome series and is Cassie and Colt’s story. Having been away from Summer Lake for 10 years Cassie has returned, and Colt is battling to understand why she refuses to talk to him. No spoilers: this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed! This is a beautifully written tale which is so much more than a 2nd chance love story, and I was totally captivated throughout this addictive page turner. I highly recommend for all readers.
If you love a smooth storyline without a whole lot of angst, then this book is for you. I loved that I could just read the majority of Colt and Cassie’s story without all of the angst keeping me wondering if this couple was going to make it. They do have a rough beginning, but the bulk of the story is just them getting to know each other again. This is a second chance romance. Yes, it’s part of a series, but no, you don’t have to read the other books. This is a contemporary book with a great author. Dual point of view. No cliffhanger.
Always enjoy my visits back to Summer Lake. This time its Deputy Sheriff Colt and Dr. Cassie teenage lovers who drifted apart. Trying to avoid each other didn’t work out until it did. As the reconnect and decide “Forever takes awhile. Loved visiting with our old friends Pete, Holly, Emma, Michael, Laura and Smoke just to name a few. Absolutely adored Sofia no spoilers be you will love her too. Thanks for another great book SJ. Question: is this the first book from Summer Lake where Ben wasn’t mentioned?
