Summary:
After being burned by her dream job in New York City, sports journalist Neely Kimber suddenly finds herself jobless and paying a long-overdue visit to her hometown in Tennessee. Her plan? Relax, reset, and head back up the corporate ladder. There’s just one unexpected step. Neely’s back in Dogwood Lane for barely a day when she sees the man she ran from nine years ago: the bad boy next door who was her first kiss, her first love, and her first heartbreak.
Devoted single dad Dane Madden knows he hurt Neely in the worst way. He’s got a lot to make up for. And as passionate as their reconnection is, it’s a lot to hope for. Having her back in his arms feels so right. But falling in love all over again with a woman who wants to live a world away is bound to go so wrong.
What’s it going to take for Neely to give him—and Dogwood Lane—just one more chance?

My Thoughts:
Dane Madden is a man who likes to work with his hands. He admits that he’s made mistakes. We can’t go back and change the past but maybe we can change the future. He has someone in his life that is very important. I came to look forward to her scenes. It made it hard not wanting to see her grow up. Their scenes together also had me wishing – wishing I had the same kind of interactions with my own dad.
I loved the pace of this story but there were times that I wanted to yell at Neely to get her sh*t together. But that’s where the author is smart because there may be some that see themselves in the story. What if…? What could I have done differently? It’s hard not to have reality bleed into this story since it seems that it could possibly be someone’s true story. Our author makes it very easy to connect with her characters and want to know that life is going to be good to them. It’s hard to keep detached and not let your heart get involved. Her ending couldn’t have been more perfect and it comes with an inferred HEA. But Ms. Locke doesn’t forget to get you laughing one last time.
USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke lives and breathes books. After years of slightly obsessive relationships with the flawed bad boys dreamed up by other authors, she decided to create her own. She is the author of Tumble, the first novel in her Dogwood Lane series; the Exception series; the Gibson Brothers series; and the Landry Family series.
She resides in the Midwest with her husband, her sons, two dogs, two cats, and a bird. She spends a large amount of time playing with her kids, drinking coffee, and cooking. You can find her outside if the weather’s nice, and there’s always a piece of candy in her pocket. Besides cinnamon gummy bears, boxing, and random quotes, her next favorite thing is chatting with readers. She’d love to hear from you! Look for her at www.adrianalocke.com.
