From the balcony of his house, Mike Haines can see the quiet, commonplace beauty of the Holliday farm. But what he remembers is Dusty, the little sister of his high school girlfriend, who grew up there. As a teen, Dusty had gone off the rails but when she was a kid, she was sweet, she was funny and she had a special bond with Mike. After high school, she took off and Mike never saw her again. Tragedy strikes Dusty's family and she comes back to town. Mike thinks she hasn't changed back to the sweet, funny girl he knew but instead continued to be selfish and thoughtless, leaving her family alone to deal with their mourning. He seeks her out and confronts her in an effort to understand what went wrong and to force her to sort herself out. He finds out quickly he's wrong about Dusty Holliday. Very wrong. After Mike discovers that, the bond they had years before snaps back into place in ways he would never suspect. But Mike Haines had a bad marriage and then played games of the heart for a good woman...and lost. In order to protect himself and his kids, he's cautious, he's careful to read the signs and he's not interested in finding a woman he has to fix. When he learns what happened to Dusty, he thinks she needs to be fixed. He swings, he misses and in this new game of hearts, Mike just got strike three.

This is my favorite book of the series! (So far) I loved Mike in At Peace and I‘m so happy he got his hea with such an awesome woman, Dusty is the best!

The relationship between Fin and Reesee were amazing. The buddying teen love was such a fabulous part of the story and made me so happy.

I also love how Mike was a jerk and then redeemed himself quickly because he‘s just a sweet guy. I couldn‘t put this book down.

We're currently getting our first snowfall that is sticking to the ground in the Mitten. So I'm curled up in bed with all of my favorite things trying to hide from the fact that winter is finally here for good and that tomorrow is freaking Monday! 🙈 🙈 What are you up to this Sunday night and what's the weather like where you are? 📚🍰☕ #readforever #readromance

Little_Reader @BooksPieAndCoffee It's possible. My husband buys pink monkey pajamas for me every year. Odd, I know. 8y
BooksPieAndCoffee @Little_Reader Not at all! Lol I collect any and everything that has to do with monkeys! They're my thing and have been since I was 3 years old! 8y
Branwen Very cold here but no snow as of yet! You look so cozy and warm! :-) 8y
lynneamch I grew up in the Mitt, lived in Iowa, retired in Tennessee. Can't say I miss the winters, though admit a touch of snow is beautiful. May get flurries tomorrow. Will cozy up to read even of it's just rain. 😏📚❤ 8y
BooksPieAndCoffee @lynneamch we had total whiteout conditions and a 40 car pile up on 4-96 this morning. Nobody saw the ice and snow coming this badly. 😱😱😱 8y

I should know better than to start a Kristen Ashley book at 10:45PM, but I can't help myself. I'm utterly addicted to this series! Plus I'm wide awake, so I might as well get some reading done. We'll see how long I last. 📚🍰☕ #readforever #readromance #amreading #latenightreading

EloisaJames Been there, done that! 😴 8y
BooksPieAndCoffee @EloisaJames I'm getting old and turning into a Golden Girl already. I didn't even make it through the first chapter before my Nook hit me in the face waking me up! 😂😂 8y
