We are returning to one of my favorite small towns for the fifth installment in the Freedom Valley series. This can be read in order or as a standalone.

The story follows SJ and Callie who both move back to town, after being away for 12 years.

They both have a long history together. They were in love and planned to move to NYC for college and spend forever together. However, SJ leaves right before they go to NYC without telling Callie anything, which breaks her heart. We learn all about why he left without telling her.

The story goes back and forth between the past and present. I loved learning about how they were in the past just as much as the present time.

SJ is determined to make Callie understand that he is and always was in love with her. She is just having a hard time trusting him and is afraid he may leave again. I love that SJ never gave up on her.

All of the characters are so likable, especially Goldie. Goldie is beloved around town and used to work at the library. She easily became one of my favorite characters. I love how she cared for Callie and SJ. She looked out for Callie since she was young and her parents were never there for her. She made sure she was cared for, especially after SJ left.

I loved this book so much that I didn’t want it to end!

This is a perfect second-chance romance with a found family story.

Final Score: 5/5
