If you had the chance to be with the one person you love more than anything, would you give them a second chance? This is the question that Matilda "Tilly" Moore has to answer. Jackson "Jax" Harris left their small town to pursue his dream career. He left behind the woman that he loves, and when a family tragedy brings him home, he starts to question why he gave it all up. There were moments of love, and moments of heartbreak in this story. The one thing I love the most, is while yes, she jumps in quick with Jax again, she holds a lot of herself back. She wants to make sure he knows what he wants, and where he wants to be. There were times when you want to smack Jax for being so oblivious and obtuse to the pain he caused Tilly when he left, and never came back. Thankfully, she has a brood of older brothers that love her and let Jax know what they truly think of the situation and how he handled things. There are a lot of eye opening moments for Jax, and it is refreshing to see that the hero of the story is the one that struggles the most here. Tilly knows what she wants, and isn't afraid to it, what she is afraid of is what Jax will do to her if he leaves again and doesn't come back. She isn't sure she can live through more heartbreak. This story gives us a heartfelt timeline of love lost and love found. There are outside players that try to keep them apart, but thankfully Tilly is strong enough for the both of them, even when those outside forces hurt her. Frankie Page gives us a well throughout, and well executed first book. It's going to be a lot of fun to get more of the Moore family.
