ABOUT THE BOOK

I had a perfect life—married to my high school sweetheart and preparing for our new baby. Then tragedy struck.

I could have moved us back to have the support of our parents, but home isn't where you come from, it's where you want to be. And I want to be here in Balsam Ridge.

So I begin anew, a single mom with a fractured heart. Determined to rise above the grief and grasp the joy that still bubbles inside of me every time I look into the eyes of our baby girl. Starting with a job at the local hemp farm.

Weston Tuttle is a walking contradiction. Playful yet ambitious. Soft yet strong. Wisecracking yet caring. A beautiful man with a sexy smile and big heart, and a blessing to me and my daughter.

This may not be the life I planned, but it could be the life that I was always meant to live.

I received a complimentary kindle version of this book and am voluntarily leaving my review.

This is Anna's story. In the previous book we met Anna when she lost her husband, Mike, in a fire and had her beautiful baby girl, Michaela. This story starts about a year after that tragedy when she heads back to work and ends up working with Weston Tuttle at his Hemp Farm.

This is a long story, forty-three chapters but its a fast read. It does deal with the loss of the spouse and there are some moments in the story where you feel is very poignant but as a whole this story is cute and a fun and a light read. That is attributed to Weston because he is a total sweetheart. Anna also has some sad moments, but she is healing and moving on and not living in the past. I adored her attitude and how she faced every day and the joy she found in Michaela.

I really liked that the author showed the business relationship that grew between Weston and Anna. Then we also get to see them grow as real friends as they bond over her daughter, Valetine's day and bowling nights. I loved how Weston let Anna lead him and he had no problem letting her lead him in his business and take over projects as the business expanded.

I also adored the advice that Weston gets from his brother, Graham, about how to date a widowed mom. It is so very true and I never thought about it but I really loved how he expressed what a widowed mom would feel about her husband that dies. Corbin was also awesome in how he is there to support Anna no matter what.

This is really an awesome story about facing your pain and loss and learning to move on and count all your blessings as you face each day. It's probably one of my favorite books that I have read by this author and in this series.
