This was a cute love story. the characters were well formed and the story is a good quick read. the two main characters are ones that both like the idea of having each other, but have their hesitations. if your looking for a quick read that has a feel good feel to it this is one for you. ~ Terri

Growing up in a small town, Sarah Wright knew city boy Jake Ryland was going to be trouble the minute she saw him. In order to help a friend, Jake moved from his home in the city - with its vast amounts of entertainment options and women - to a small town in the middle of nowhere. Accustomed to the fast paced life he loved, life now seemed to move as slow as the molasses the South was known for. Until he met Sarah. Sarah knew Jake’s stay in town was temporary, and did her best not to be drawn in by his charm and good looks. And after a disastrous first date, she thought she was safe. Little did she know... As their relationship builds, so does their chemistry...and their feelings for one another. Do they try to find a way to make it work, even though they come from different worlds? Or do they walk away now and wonder what might have been?
