Really sweet story of how uncle Corey finally finds love of his life Abby, after being separated for 30+ years.
Short and had some really beautiful moments.
Unsafe as both move on (duh)
Can't wait to read about Madison and Stone

This book was originally in a compilation, but Brenda Jackson released it as a single. I've read the entire Westmoreland series and I have to admit that this story was my very favorite with Dare/Shelley coming in a very close second place. Great, quick read!

When you really love someone....

No matter the time, years, or others involved, nothing will fade a love that is real. Andy and Corey proves that.

Love has a way

I have tried to read all of Brenda Jackson's book. I don't know how this one got pass me. I enjoyed i very much. The only thing about it was, too short.

A love that spans 30 years. Corey Westmoreland met Abby Winters 30 years ago when they were both in college. They had an instant attraction. Corey knew that Abby was the one for him. Abby felt an obligation to submit to her parents' expectations and gave up the one man she would ever love.

But 30 years later fate will step in and reunite them in an unbelievable fashion. Even Abby married as her parents wished, she never had the love that she felt with Corey. Corey knew there was only one woman for him so he never married and never allowed any woman up on his mountain.

When he sees his one love again he is determined to never allow anything to separate them again.

Mature love

I am so glad to read a story that features nature love. I felt bad for Uncle Corey and the life that he had chosen to live. I rejoiced with Corey and Abby. To me the story ended abruptly I would have one to have read more hopefully there story will continue in Stone's book.

I read this short story twice. I was happy to get this story. I read Stone Cold Surrender first awhile back so I had to reread it again after this. I wish the two books came as a combo since they fall right into place at the same time. It’s great to know that true love does not have an expiration date.

🎧Audiobook Review

This was a sweet mature love story, a reconnection of two that first loved each other at 18 but could not have each other until they were 50. Life got in the way, as does parents, but when it’s true love it comes back around tenfold. Ps, I almost threw my phone at Corey proposing while, “on his knees” okay, sir! 🥵

[Turtleberry Turtleberry · Rating 5 out of 5]

This was a great second chance romance. Corey never stopped loving Abby. When she finally popped back in his life, 32 years later, she knew she never stopped loving him.
This was such a cute novella.

Corey's Mountain

Corey finally got his Abbey and in true Westmoreland form has made his forever to share his mountain and a life of love. Short and sweet.

[Mattie · Rating 1 out of 5]

Didn't like it, heroine way too weak and just did what her parents wanted and went on to marry and have kid with another man. Np.

[Chica · Rating 2 out of 5]

Unless you have read the Westmoreland series. Then it’s Probably a 3-4*

[Nylorac1984 · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really enjoyed this sweet second chance romance. There is just something truly special about a more mature couple finally getting their HEA.

[Vonetta Augustine · Rating 4 out of 5]

Sweet, short, and loving. True love endures and Corey and Abby is the perfect example. ❤️❤️❤️

[Mary Calton Gerard · Rating 5 out of 5]

Engaging✍🏾 and romance❗

I was entertained from the first chapter until the ending chapter. Then I became angry, well maybe sad. Cannot get enough of the "Westmorelands"!

[Christine (KizzieReads) · Rating 4 out of 5]

Finally was able to read this. It's nice to hear of exactly how Corey and Abby get back together after so long. Quick short story, but so worth it.
