Aubrey Reynolds is a small-town girl who’s made it big. A successful Hollywood director, Aubrey doesn’t have time to linger on what could have been. But when a routine blood test comes back with a false positive, she decides to take some time off to do the things she’s always wanted to do: taste the famous chocolate chip cookies at the Minnesota State Fair, hike the Grand Teton National Park, scuba dive in the Caribbean. But after Aubrey admits to herself what she’s really missing, she heads back home to Dusty Valley, Oklahoma . . . and the man she left behind. Cole Haywood is a small-town fireman and that’s just fine with him. Sure, when the love of his life left their hometown to chase her dreams he was heartbroken and—he’ll admit—damn mad. But Cole would have never forgiven himself if he had held Aubrey back from success. So the last thing he expects after all these years is to walk into his favorite bar one night and find the girl he’s always loved—there—looking for him. Maybe now’s the time to make his dreams come true.

This emotional story pulled me in from the first page. It is a story about heartbreak, forgiveness and second chances. When Aubrey is misdiagnosed as having a life threatening illness she reevaluates her life and decides to make some changes. She is a renowned Hollywood director who has sacrificed everything for success. After ten years, she decides to return to the small town she grew up in and Cole, the boy she left behind.
Cole was devastated when Aubrey left him ten years ago and he has never recovered or found anyone he cared about as much as Aubrey. Aubrey returns to ask for forgiveness but Cole is still angry with her.
I enjoyed this delightful story about Cole and Aubrey. I was cheering for them and hoping they would work everything out and end up together. Cole and Aubrey are down to earth and easy to connect with and they have a lot of chemistry. There is also a secondary story about Bennett and Emilia and I was also rooting for them. This sweet story tugged on my heartstrings.
