My Thoughts:
This book has “Hallmark movie” written all over it! It is a sweet story where two different people, from two different backgrounds, who are both grieving - have a possibility for a second chance at romance!
Lorri Walker is a graphic designer who is in a marriage where she is fairly certain that her husband is cheating on her AND she was right! After her divorce is finalized she moves to Dalton Mill, a small town out in the country with her dog, Mister. She spends most of her time working from home but has become friendly with a few of her neighbors. When invited to the County Fair, Lorri takes the opportunity to get out and explore her new community.
Ryder meets Lorri when he literally runs right into her at the County Fair (to keep her from getting trampled). He is a local cowboy who lost his wife and young son in a terrible car accident. Both are grieving in their own way, both say that they are not looking for love but they just might be what each other needs to find happiness again.
This book is just loaded with emotion - Lorri & Ryder both go through such traumatic experiences. I really felt for them. It was really nice to see them take a chance on reclaiming their lives. I loved the small town feel of this book. I really love when the author gives enough description of the characters and settings that you feel like you are there in the story...and Nancy does that in this book! The friendships, the family bonds (even the family rebuilding) were all very relatable. I would love to visit Dalton Mills!
I did think that the story was a little predictable but it didn’t bother me at all. I also thought that based on the title more of the story would take place there and that the twins would be the primary characters. Overall, I really enjoyed this story!
Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press and Nancy Naigle for the Advanced Readers Copy of this book in exchange for my honest review!
