Blurb:
The last time I saw Declan St. James was at our rehearsal dinner. That was shortly before he jilted me at the altar. To avoid the swarm of whispers and finger pointing every time I dared to show my face in public, I fled two hours south to Atlanta and never looked back. Over the last decade, I’d planned hundreds of scenarios about how our next meeting would go down. The expletives I’d hurl at him. Which knee I might use to annihilate his balls. Which dimpled cheek on his ridiculously handsome face I would send a stinging slap across. But being elbow deep in a cow’s ass was not one of them. Normally, I didn’t get up close and personal to a bovine’s rectum. At least not since veterinarian school. But desperate times found me back home to attend my grandfather’s funeral, who happened to be the town’s large animal vet. Those two facts had left me wading through manure in Roy Wallace’s pasture to care for a distressed heifer. While time and maturity seemed to have changed him from the boy I knew, I still wasn’t falling for his charm. Or his hard, chiseled body. Or ass you could eat dinner off of. No, I wasn’t going back down that street again. Unfortunately, Declan didn’t seem to get the message. Instead, he seemed as stubborn as he ever was and ready for a fight. It’ll be the fight of his life for me to let him back in my heart.

This is a standalone story from a fun author. This story is told in the first person but only from the female heroines POV. I typically like hearing from both sides but in this case it really worked. However I did feel that to really feel how sorry Declan was for what he did and for me to forgive him I never got his side of things.

This is a 2nd chance story of a guy, Declan who abandons his long time girlfriend, Peyton on their wedding day at the wedding alter and calls her from the honeymoon to say he is not coming. To me this was absolutely awful, terrible and honestly I never felt Declan suffered enough in this story for what he did to Peyton.

This all happened when they were 20 and so he claims to have grown up and changed etc etc etc and while he seemed to have grown up, how do you really get over something like that even 10 years later. I just felt he got her forgiveness way too easily. Added to that he ends up married for 5 years and even ends up with a 4 year old child. Now his ex is painted pretty awfully as a cheater but she also did some good things and one is she decorated their home and its where Peyton hangs out and I kinda felt super bad for her reading that in this story. On the other hand  Peyton just ends up with her career. I did not see him suffer enough and atone for what he did.

That said I did enjoy the story and I loved Peyton. She is a tough cookie and she was so much fun as vet in a small ranching town. There are some cute and funny moments as she moves home when her grandfather dies and he leaves her his veterinarian practice which is why she can't escape Declan.
