About The Author
My Review
The story centers on Carly, who returns to her Montana hometown after a brief escape—one prompted by her boyfriend Jack’s battle with alcoholism and the revelation that she’s pregnant. Jack, now in recovery, is trying to piece his life back together while grappling with the weight of his past decisions. Their shared history is complicated, and with a baby on the way, both must confront not only each other but their own vulnerabilities. Jack’s journey feels authentic—marked by shame, hope, and constant temptation. Carly, meanwhile, is a resilient yet conflicted heroine, torn between protecting herself and giving Jack a second chance. Their relationship is layered and realistic, with no easy fixes, which makes their emotional growth all the more impactful.
What keeps the book from becoming too heavy is the welcome presence of the Three Sisters Rescue Farm and its mischievous bunnies, which inject warmth and levity. These lighter moments offer much-needed breathing room amid the emotional weight of the story.
This isn’t your typical fluffy romance—it explores serious, real-world challenges with empathy and insight. The central question—can love survive in the face of addiction, regret, and change?—is explored with grace, and readers will find themselves rooting hard for Jack and Carly, even when the odds seem stacked against them.
Overall, it is a poignant, emotionally resonant romance with heart, honesty, and just enough hope. It’s a story of redemption, second chances, and choosing love—especially when it’s not easy.
