* I received an advanced copy of this book to review.
Luke Harris is a man on a mission, to get out of the one horse town he lives in and away from the life he has there. Somehow, his brother has ended up with the girl he himself has loved since day one. Life isn't fair, but who ever said it was. Watching them together is killing him, even more for the fact that his brother Ben is a drunk and a cheater yet Sarah stays with him anyway. His last night in town ends in an unexpected way, sweet but sad, but it's time to move on without looking back.
Luke moves to California, becomes the doctor he was meant to be, but not living a happy life, just existing without the girl he could have loved. Then years later, he receives a shocking phone call that will change his life in so many ways.
This is sweet and poignant story, a little bit second chance, a little forbidden love with some serious steamy times mixed in. It is about 16 chapters long, although feels like more since the story is told well and keeps your interest. I love finding a quick, easy to enjoy love story and this one was just that with a HEA and glimpse into the future that Luke could have never predicted. This book will keep you warm on a cold winter's night😍.
