First I want to say that I really, really enjoyed this love story. It was a bit sad, emotional and very romantic.
Payton and Alex have been best friends forever. But when Alex realized he started developing feelings for Payton he started dating other girls. It was his way of saying Payton was off limits. He never knew that Payton was in love with him as well. (Stories like this always break my heart).
When Payton moves to Seattle with her mom, after her dad died in a car accident she leaves upset with Alex and doesn't even tell him when she's leaving. Now it has been 13 years since they last saw each other and she's on her way back to Texas after a tragedy in her life.
It's just her and her son now and she wants to move away and back to Texas where her mother has been living once again.
When Payton and Alex reunite the sparks fly between them. They both realize that they were meant to be together and they need to work things out and try and be together.
Well when Payton returns to Seattle to make amends with her past, someone appears as she's about to board the plane to head back home to Texas, and now this is the part where I want to scream because I have no idea what in the world just happened! I have to jump on the 2nd book now and find out what the heck is going on!!
I hope Alex and Payton will get their HEA especially with the fact that they have been in love with each other since they were kids.
4.5 stars for me with this book. I was hooked immediately with this story and I love Payton and Alex. They make the perfect couple -- they were made for each other.
Ms. Jenkins did a great job with this book, it will hook you instantly like it did me :)
