I like a second chance romance and this was great one. Gunner and Rory are high school sweethearts and after their one and only night together, she finds herself pregnant. Gunner, has plans to join the service, get out of town, and make a life for himself was shocked and demanded Rory terminate the pregnancy. When she goes to the clinic and sees and hears the heartbeat, she can't go through with it, but doesn't tell Gunner. She leaves town soon after and make s a life for herself and her son. Gunner regrets his impulsive reaction soon after, but thinking his child is gone, lives with regret and self condemnation. I really liked the way Jo Chambliss relates Gunner's anguish about his decision, its not a view we often see. Years later, after a series of events, Gunner finds out he has an 11 year old son and Rory is still the love of his life. Their story of mending relationships, building new relationships between Gunner and his son, Colton, and building their family was well developed, compelling, and well paced. I'm really anxious to read the next book in this series.
