Review

This was a really great story.

I loved the country setting, I loved the dad and his meddling ways. In short, I loved how cute this was.

When Clay left home, he never really looked back. He and his dad don’t know how to communicate. And the small-town life left him looking for the anonymity and options of a big city. He’s forgotten what he’s left behind.

Dell has stayed. He has a son, and he plans on raising him surrounded by friends and family. He’s a town folk through and through. Offering a helping hand whenever needed. Including Clay’s dad.

I enjoyed watching these two reconnect. Dell saw and opportunity that he thought he’d never get, while Clay saw the torture of something he would never be able to have. It made for some great push and pull, and for some really sweet moments.

I quite enjoyed narrator Joshua Macrae, this was my first audiobook by him, and I would gladly listen to more of his work.

Synopsis

Clay Kartwell loses his job and gets a call from his estranged father asking for his help back on the family farm, all on the same day. Clay knows he has to return home, even though it’s the last thing he wants to do. Some things back home are best left unremembered.

Dell Warrington was Clay’s unrequited high school crush and the man he least wants to see. He’s everything Clay remembered and more, including the father of four-year-old Archie. But Dell hasn’t had it easy either, and not everything is as it seems.

Clay sets out to save the farm and bring in the crops with Dell’s help. Old assumptions fall to the side as the two men reconnect, and the second chance that Clay never knew he wanted seems within his grasp. But Clay left the farm for a reason, and reconciliation with his stoic father won’t be easy. When his city life offers a new opportunity, he must decide whether to accept what he knows, or follow his heart.
