A sweet romance with wonderful characters and a adorable happy ever after.
Anna hasn’t lived in Maplewood since leaving after high school. She loves her life in Phoenix, running FantasyCoin and spending time with her boyfriend, Dutch and his adorable 5 year old daughter. FantasyCoin isn’t doing well and Anna’s looking for investors. This coincides with a visit to Maplewood for a surprise birthday party for one of her brothers. Anna’s likes corporate life but Dutch is ready to sell his company in order to slow down and spend more time with his daughter, CaitlinJo and Anna. Will these two be able to come to an agreement?
I loved Anna and Dutch’s story. I loved that Anna gets her happy ending and that her foolish teenage mistake didn’t ruin everything for her. I liked how being back with her family changed her mind about staying in Phoenix. There were a couple of misunderstandings but no fighting between the couple. CaitlinJo is adorable! We also get updates on her sisters Mary and Bo, whose stories have been told in previous books.
This book is part of a series, but you don’t have to read the others to understand what’s going on in this one. This is a clean romance novella which can be read in an afternoon while the kids are napping, or an evening after everyone’s in bed.
This story is a sweet feel good story through and through. Cowboy and cowgirl and family values and sorrows of life but also pleasures and happiness. I can very well recommend this story for y´all who want one with that kind of storyline which is by the way quite good. The characters are also very well written and described. So four beautiful stars are very well deserved.
