About the Book
They thought love was in their past…
But could it be their future?
After completing rehab, Mark Rivers returns to his hometown to make amends with his ex-wife, Kylie, and their daughter. But he doesn’t expect to stick around beyond seeking her forgiveness. So when helping Kylie run her coffee shop after a health crisis draws them closer together, Mark is forced to decide—a career in Nashville or a second chance with the family he thought he’d lost forever…
My Review
I was so excited to read a Valentine's themed book, and doesn't this cover look sweet? The main characters Mark and Kylie have some rough history, and I wonder if it was touched on in the previous book (which I haven't read). The bad choices Mark made over the years of their marriage while under the influence of alcohol are rehashed repeatedly, as well as his angst and regret over them. Kylie's struggle to trust him despite her forgiveness is also repetitious and progress is very slow as their thoughts about the situation they are now in continue to waffle back and forth, which led to my losing interest. They are both devoted to the adorable Junie who is portrayed a few years more mature than the kindergarten age she is, I think she speaks and behaves more like a second grader. This story of redemption and hard-won forgiveness will be enjoyed by others but it was a miss for me.
