Book Description

Editorial reviews:
"Bretz has a gift for writing characters that have undeniable chemistry.
...The only thing that romance fans will be disappointed in, is the fact that the story has to end."

Recent college graduate Gabby Richards has big plans for her life. At the top of those plans is landing a job for a major magazine in Chicago. While Gabby is busy mapping out her career as a journalist, her father gets seriously injured. Upon hearing of his accident, Gabby drops everything, including her career plans, and heads home to her small, rural town of Clear Lake, but vows to return to Chicago as soon as her father is well.
Suddenly Gabby is catching up with old friends, dealing with small town gossip and facing parts of her past she’d rather forget. Luckily, she meets the town’s hunky mechanic, Jake Harrison, who helps Gabby confront her past and tries to help her see she can have a career in Clear Lake. Will Gabby realize she can be a successful journalist anywhere? Or will she leave Clear Lake in pursuit of life in greener pastures?

3.0 out of 5 stars The perfect guilty pleasure February 22, 2012

By The Kindle Book Review

Format:Kindle Edition

With this book, Amanda Bretz takes a tried and tested formula and delivers in everyway you'd expect. Yes, the story is predictable but did that make me enjoy it any less? No. And, if I'm truthful, if the final line hadn't been what it was, I'd have been thoroughly disappointed.

The story follows Gabby, the girl who grew up in a small town, where everyone knows everyone else, she suffers tragedy and moves away to the big city to study. Tragedy hits again and, against her will, she is forced back home to the small town.

Cue the handsome man, romantic scenery and you've got the idea where this book is heading.

The characters aren't explored to any great depth and as a reader you find yourself easily accepting of the way that lost years are made up over night between Gabby and her friends. But, that said this book delivers what I expected it to and Bretz's writing style if comfortable and fun.

I'd sum this book up as a perfect holiday read. It's quick and easy to read and gives you a warm fuzzy glow and I am sure will be on many a guilty pleasure list.
