Mabel and Cal have known each other for years. He was her brother’s best friend. She crushed on Cal when they were kids, but he never really paid much attention to her. Now, Mabel is ready to escape her small town farm life and become an influencer in the big city. A place where she can be someone different and no one will truly know her past. Now, four years later she has to return back to the small town she left.

I loved Cal and all his broodiness! He is hardworking and you can tell he is passionate about what he does and really wants to help his small town. Mabel, I still don’t know how I feel about her. I love that she took a risk and followed her dreams, but at the same time something about her just kind of sit right with me. I loved the chemistry that was starting to form between them and the connection they are forming.

This is somewhat of a slow burn and really starting to pick up towards the end and dropped a bomb on the story….thankfully it’s not a long wait until book two!
