Publisher's summary

He’s a grumpy single dad. She’s the one who got away. They haven’t seen one another in years, and now they’re stuck in a hotel room together. And there’s only one bed.

I’ve loved her from the first moment I saw her.
And I’ve loved her every day since.
Whether we’re together or we’re apart—that hasn’t changed.
Which is saying a lot considering I don’t like most people.
But life has thrown us a slew of curveballs and we went our separate ways.
Life, family, jealousy—we let it all get in the way.
I’m a dad now, and my little girl is my world.
And after years apart, Presley is back in Cottonwood Cove.
I don’t believe in fairytales or second chances.
My heart belongs to my daughter now, and there is no room for complications.
Presley Duncan is a giant complication.
A wise man would keep his distance.
But I never claimed to be a wise man.
So maybe we end up in a car together in the middle of a snowstorm.
Which leads to a hotel room with only one bed.
Maybe I should reconsider my stance on fairytales and second chances.
And seeing Presley with my little girl does something to me.
Stirs something inside of me that I thought was long gone.
But I know this is temporary.
She’ll be leaving soon, and I’m prepared to let her go.
Until she’s gone.
And I realize that I’m not prepared at all for life after the storm.

Loved Story! Loved Jacob Morgan

Beautifully written, deep character development, performance that sucked me right in and had me escaping my own life immersed in the story. Jacob Morgan had a genius performance. I fell in love with the character Cage and wanted to move in with him and his daughter. The kid voice was outstanding. The banter on the text messages was so funny!! HIGHLY recommend!!

Grumpy, Single Dad, Second Chance Romance, With A Sweet Little Girl and a Pig. A Perfect End to the Series!

Great on Audio! 🎧
As always with any book Laura writes, dropped everything to read this one. This book was just so good! I loved the romance, the small town family dynamics Laura writes so dang well, and the appearance of all the couples from this series and Honey Mountain. I had waited for Cage’s book since book one and it did not disappoint! This was a great book to wrap the series up! Can’t wait for the next series!

Soooo Good!

This was a great end to the series. This one made me cry. It was so sweet and cute and funny. I loved it! Voice actors were just as awesome as the rest of the s series. I will definitely relisten to the entire series someday soon!

Best in the series

This is the best one in the series no doubt about it. Only one that had me bawling and up till 2am listening to it. Cage and Presley had the sweetest story. It was just amazingly written, hilarious, sweet, sexy and sad. It killed me and I loved it so much.

Good wrap up to the siblings!

4.5...They've all found love! I loved reading all the Reynolds love stories. I had really looked forward to this one. It wasn't my favorite series by Laura but it was still pretty good overall. The sibling banter was comical and enjoyable. I expected Cage to be funnier as he was a grumpy sarcastic hoot in the past books. He kind of made me mad in the end just giving up so easily and I think she took him back too easily and should have made him grovel a bit more. First sign of a little trouble in his life and he basically discarded her like yesterdays trash. It was still a cute story though and I had been most looking forward to him finding love since he was the oldest and had a dry sense of humor that I enjoyed. It didn't come out as much in this book as it did in past books though unfortunately. I liked this FMC though. She was fairly mature and seemed to take most things in stride; she just longed to be loved and to be chosen and once again he didn't choose her, until he did. After everything she's went through and all her heartbreak and life growing up feeling a bit unloved, I expected more from the MMC. That's why I knocked off .5 points. His daughter was a doll though as she was in all the other books from the series. I think Brinkley's story was my favorite because she was so feisty and has a good sense of humor. Narration was great and I would recommend this book to friends. Worth the money!

I love this series

I absolutely loved all these books and want more! The narrators the store lines all of it was wonderfully done. I was hooked!!!

Best book in the series!

I did not expect to sob my way through the last hour of this book! it was beautiful and the narration was perfect.

Amazing!!

Can these narrators do us wrong? Absolutely not! Emma Wilder and Jacob Morgan bring Cage and Presley’s story to life with their performance. You feel every emotion in their narrating… it plays out in your mind like a movie. I don’t know how the author does it but she masterfully creates a town in which you don’t want to leave and characters that stay in your heart. This is a must listen to audiobook!

A new Favorite ❤️

I may have just found a new favorite author! This series was engaging, entertaining, and sucks you in at the beginning. I can’t wait for more books!

Good storyline

I really liked the story, however, the male’s narration of Gracie was horrible compared to the female’s narration of Gracie. The two voices did not sound at all alike, and I’m not talking about male versus female voices. I’m talking about the fact that in the male voice, she sounded like she was two years old just learning how to talk as opposed to a five-year-old from the female’s voice. I liked the male narrator throughout the whole book other than Gracie. I love the characters. I thought it was a great story, but if I heard “all those years ago” one more time…..I almost stopped listening to it because of that one sentence being said over and over and over. It almost ruined the story for me. I think the author could have been much more generous in using different words to describe years ago.
