About the author

Aspen Hadley loves nothing more than a great story. She has devoted herself to story-telling for the majority of her life, writing her first novel at her kitchen table in the 8th grade. Aspen writes what she wants to read: clean, sassy, romantic comedy novels that give you a break from real life and leave you feeling happy.

Outside of writing, Aspen's number one hobby is reading. Number two is sneaking chocolate into and out of her private stash without being caught. Other favorite things include: playing the piano, listening to classic rock, telling jokes around the dinner table, eating ice cream, traveling, a good case of the giggles, and riding on ATVs over the trails around her home in Utah.

Aspen shares her life with a patient husband, 4 hilarious children, and 1 grumpy dog in a quiet suburb next to her beloved mountains.

Given the choice she would road trip her life away, singing along to the radio and sleeping in every morning.

[Tricia Anson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This story is so tender, fun, and heartwarming! Gretchen’s struggles with caring for everyone else and ignoring her own needs is so relatable, and her journey to realizing she can and should be loved as she is was just beautiful. Rhodes is just awesome and his relationship with his son and his personal growth and healing was so tender and perfect! There was such a sweet balance and depth to both of them having kids (one a young adult, one a teen) and managing all the feels that a new relationship brings in those situations. I laughed, I swooned, I teared up—I loved it.
