When the death of Dianne's father forces her to move back home, she dreads starting over. Leaving small-town Weston was the best decision she ever made---she blossomed on her own. Now she's attempting to rebuild her life and an old acquaintance is stirring feelings she thought were long gone.
Alex, the well-mannered and handsome local tech supplier can’t seem to figure out the familiarness of Dianne. In his quest to uncover the mystery he finds himself falling for the witty teacher.
With walls of steel built around her, Alex must find a way to her heart. But with Dianne’s fear of attachment and an old boyfriend resurfacing, he's challenged at every turn. Can Dianne let go of the past and allow herself to love? Or will she continue to allow the grip fear has on her reign her life?
Dianne was likable as it related to her friend, and how she chose to remember her parents; but how she handled herself in male and female relationships made me shake my head. I was confused why she needed rescuing near the end. I was left wondering about Alex’s secret; that didn’t seem resolved. The ending was sweet. I reduced a star because I was taken out of the story several times due to grammatical errors, and a few jarring scene transitions.
I liked this story, it was a mixture of light contemporary and young adult fiction. I don't think I could clearly describe either character in this story with accuracy. But the story was pretty good. No major issues for me.
