Description

When Branna O'Donnell heads back to Lake Howling, Oregon, she’s not sure what to expect. It’s a place that holds plenty of memories, both good and bad, but Branna is determined to find some peace there from the demons of her past. However, she soon realizes that living in a small town again comes with complications, and one of them is named Jake McBride. 
Once the town golden boy, Dr. McBride has returned from Iraq angry and, like her, shouldering a few emotional scars. They strike sparks off each other from the outset, and Branna knows that if she gives in to the attraction between them it’s going to result in a world of pain. The problem is she's not sure how to walk away.

    I loved this book. I was constantly picking up my phone because I wanted to read it so bad. My overall favorite part was when she met Jake, because you knew that they were meant to be from the beginning.

    About half way through the book I realized I had already read this once before. However, I went ahead and finished it because I enjoyed it as much the second time around. Great characters and storyline.

    Not a fan. So many things in this story were unrealistic and over the top. Important details were missed that could have made it seem real. And especially the way the characters talked….it felt like a really bad mix of southern and like the Victorian era. So bizarre and just made the entire story feel unrealistic. I also understand the need for characters to say each other’s names more so during dialogue than what you would in person, but holy cow this was over the top and awkward. No thanks…I was just happy to be done with this one.

    Very well written. Only took a couple days to read. Mostly because I didn’t wanna put it down. She’s a very good writer.

    My first time reading books by this author. The characters were believably & well developed. I wanted to get to know each of them more.
