“This book is absolutely perfect.” – Corinne Michaels, New York Times Bestselling Author

Rex Gunner. As bitter as he is beautiful.

The owner of the largest construction company in Gingham Lakes has been burned one too many times. His wife leaving him to raise their daughter was the last blow this single dad could take. The only woman he’ll let into his heart is his little girl.

Rynna Dayne. As vulnerable as she is tempting.

She ran from Gingham Lakes when she was seventeen. She swore to herself she would never return. Then her grandmother passed away and left her the deed to the diner that she once loved.

When Rex meets his new neighbor, he knows he’s in trouble.

She’s gorgeous and sweet and everything he can’t trust.

Until she becomes the one thing he can’t resist.

One kiss sends them tumbling toward ecstasy.

But in a town this size, pasts are bound to collide. Caught in a web of lies, betrayal, and disloyalty, Rex must make a choice.

Will he hide behind his walls or will he take the chance . . .

 

4.5 Stars

I think my eyes are broken because this is the second book is just a week or two that has caused them to leak with this watery stuff and it won’t stop coming out. Damnit. Or I am just becoming a sapp in my old age.

Amy (A.L.), this book was more than I expected from you. I have read many of your books and that all touch a part of my heart and soul with your characters and their stories. But this book, it touched me most. And I have to say it’s the story line that tugs at me most. I love a great love story that comes from a tough road but when you throw a young child into the mix, my heart just checks all smashed up because they are my weakness.

“Rynna
Fucking Rynna.
Little Thief.”

Rynna (love this name) was raised by her grandmother after her mom took off. Her grandmother owned the diner in town and was known for her amazing pies. Aside from having her awesome grandma raised her, Rynna had her own troubles growing up. She was insecure and when anyone paid a little bit of attention to her, she thrived on that. Until her eighteenth birthday when her world was shattered and her only option was to run. Eleven years later, she finds herself returning to the town she swore she’d never return to; but she felt in her bones that she needed to honor her grandmother’s wishes and return to her smalltown and continue on her grandmother’s legacy.

Rynna was someone Rex never anticipated shaking up his world from across the street. And he tried his best to steer clear of her because he was not going to have another woman enter his and screw everything up, again. Frankie, his little girl, was his life and all the love he had left was for her. But Rynna had other plans in mind.

Rynna and Rex were something else. I loved Rynna’s determination to never give up on Rex. She knew when to push hard and when to pull back. And she slowly wormed her way underneath Rex’s hard exterior. But their story isn’t all rainbows and butterflies. Both of their pasts come back to haunt. And it ways, I had not expected at all.

Amy wrote another heart wrenching story that will have you rooting for Rynna and Rex. And your heart will smile brightly when Frankie Leigh graces your pages – her previous little self lights up the pages. If you are new to Amy’s books, I highly recommend reading this as it’s a start of new series and one I am sure you will love.

Bring on the next book, which I am hoping is Ollie’s. And I have no doubt in my mind it’s going to be another gut wrenching one if any of the tidbits I gathered in here are any clues to that.
