This emotional story pulled me in from the first page. It is a story about heartbreak, forgiveness and second chances. When Aubrey is misdiagnosed as having a life threatening illness she reevaluates her life and decides to make some changes. Β She is a renowned Hollywood director who has sacrificed everything for success. After ten years, she decides to return to the small town she grew up in and Cole, the boy she left behind.
Cole was devastated when Aubrey left him ten years ago and he has never recovered or found anyone he cared about as much as Aubrey. Β Aubrey returns to ask for forgiveness but Cole is still angry with her.
I enjoyed this delightful story about Cole and Aubrey. Β I was cheering for them and hoping they would work everything out and end up together. Cole and Aubrey are down to earth and easy to connect with and they have a lot of chemistry. There is also a secondary story about Bennett and Emilia and I was also rooting for them. This sweet story tugged on my heartstrings.
