Ethan Gallagher is a firefighter in Darling, Vermont, who followed tradition and pledged his love on the Kissing Bridge to ensure lifelong happiness. A few years later, he s a widower with two rambunctious boys who no longer believes in magic. But even he has to admit that free-spirited Willow Dunaway fills him with wonder and an attraction he cannot deny.
Willow s come back to Darling a different girl than the one who left after high school. Overcoming her past and owning her own business has made her into a strong, independent woman.

But after fire destroys the local food bank, the town rallies, and a fling between Ethan and Willow leads to unintended consequences. Can they find a way out of their heartbreak to make a home in each other s hearts?

In this second entry of the Darling, VT series, Ms Alward takes us back to this idyllic community to spend time with Ethan and Willow. We met both in Somebody Like You where they were secondary characters (best friend and brother), but here we really get to know them and all of the baggage they bring to the table.
I have to admit that one of the things I really enjoy about this series is that both main characters get to experience an emotional evolution. Ethan is a widower with two young sons and Willow has her own issues that she hadnβt dealt with as well as she thought. These two are a slow build until something unexpected forces the issue, but I really liked them together. I also appreciated the fact that Ms. Alward made Ethanβs sons key characters in the story and that their relationship with Willow was almost as important as hers with Ethan.
This is a sweet story with a touch of sexy and a great secondary cast. Iβm looking forward to seeing what happens next for the Gallagher siblings.
