SYNOPSIS
The only things Natalie Bouchard wants to change are the weekly specials in her Gram's diner. So when her high school sweetheart strolls back into Dearling, Texas, she allows herself to indulge in a little flirtation, but that's as far as it goes.
Navy SEAL Sawyer Nolan has returned to sell his father's land and get the hell out, no matter how enticing he still finds Natalie. Until a storm rolls over the Texas hills, stranding them together at the farm…and the memories of their steamy past lead to a reunion filled with hot days and long nights.
Soon Natalie's so far under Sawyer's skin he can't imagine being without her. But he has a lot of history in Dearling he'd like to leave behind, and Natalie is practically married to this town. If Sawyer wants to be more than just another person who leaves Natalie, he'll have to give his hometown—and himself—one more chance.
READING EXPERIENCE
It was heart-wrenchingly good! The characters' desires were so vividly portrayed—I really wanted them to end up together. I'm so glad they finally found a way to make it work. I'm also happy that Sawyer perhaps finally came to understand his father's love, even if it wasn't shown through words or actions when he was younger. And most of all, I'm glad Sawyer ultimately found the strength to go after what he truly wanted.
My favorite quote from the novel:
“The institution of marriage—what a brilliant fucking idea. He got to see her smile every day, hear her laugh every day, sleep with her every day—and those were just the minimums. All he had to do in return was protect and provide for her. For Natalie, the woman he was crazy about, had always been crazy about.”
