Publisher's summary

As a wildlife photographer, Journey "JJ" Sutton never stays in one place too long. The world is his classroom, and he’s living his dream. His only regret is that he had to sacrifice the love of his life to do it. But as the saying goes, you can never go home again. That’s until there’s a family emergency, and he has to…well, go home again. His easy breezy lifestyle gets complicated fast. It certainly doesn’t help that his ex-fiancé has bought the house next door.

After an unstable childhood, Cameron Foster loves small-town life. He has everything he needs in his vet practice, his friends, and his animals. Despite what numerous exes seem to think, he’s not still in love with Journey. And so what if they add “benefits” to their friendship? As long as he keeps his heart out of the equation, everything should be fine.

Too bad Journey's not onboard with that plan. With summer ending, he has to convince Cameron that this is more than just a fling. This time around, he knows what he wants. He wants a second chance. He wants forever. Most of all, he wants Cameron’s heart.

Journey may have put away his passport, but things are just getting interesting.

Wanderlust in small town

This had no right to be so good. The writing as always with this author was amazing. Funny in a conversation/thought pattern kind of way (which is addictive), and emotional at the right times. And just the right amount of angst to keep you going!

Great story

I loved the book!! The audio wasn’t that great. The narrator really didn’t do the sarcasm well. So many good sarcastic moments in this book which totally got lost in translation. Not that the narrator is bad just not great for this book, IMO. I would highly recommended reading before listening.

Great couple, fun story!

I absolutely loved this book, as much as I have loved other books from this author. Great small-town meddling, gossiping, and all the banter, it was so funny!

JJ & Cam were both adorable, each in their own individual way, but both amazing people who had big hearts. I loved how they combined their differences and made their relationship work. And the chemistry was incredible!

*audio review* - 4 stars
The narrator was good, his voice is beautiful and he speaks clearly, but the voices were sometimes very similar and hard to differentiate from one MC to the other. There was also a particular accent and some pauses in the middle of the sentences, but that might be because he wanted the characters to sound like Florida natives, though I don't know how they sound in real life.

Too Long and Too F-ing Slow

I tried, I really tried, but good god this book is so slow moving I just can't and I like S. E. Harmon, but not this one. Sorry.

I kept hoping the story would move along, but no, that didn't happen.

You read for yourself, you may like it, I just didn't.

what? why?

So childish and immature main caracter. lived in a small town most of his life, and still don't know to ignore or question town gossip.
He constantly assumes instead of talking things out. he is an idiot. and I can't even. I had to speed the story up quite a bit to get through it. and I still don't know if I can.

Ugh. What an irritating narration.

I've still got 2 hours left & I don't know if I will keep listening. The narrator speaks with the same tone & diction making it hard to distinguish between the 2 main characters. He ends just about every line with the same note in his narration. It's really SO irritating. It's hard to listen to after just having listened to the talented narrations of Teddy Hamilton, Jacob Morgan and Shane East (I could list a lot of people here). As for the story, I can't say it's interesting because the narration is so confusing.
For me its been a waste of money.
