Resumen del Editor

As the daughter of a hoarder, Phoenix Fuller had a tough childhood. So when the handsome, popular Riley Stinson became her boyfriend in high school, she finally felt as though she had something to be proud of. Phoenix was desperate not to lose him - especially once she found out that she was pregnant. Yes, she might have acted a bit obsessive when he broke up with her. But she did not run down the girl he started dating next. Unfortunately there was no way to prove her innocence. Now, after serving her time in prison, Phoenix has been released. All she wants to do is return to Whiskey Creek and get to know her son. But Jacob's father isn't exactly welcoming. Riley doesn't trust Phoenix, and he doesn't want her in Jacob's life. He is, however, ready to find someone to love. And he wants a good mother for his son. He has no idea that he's about to find both.

Phoenix & Riley!

I absolutely love the Whiskey Creek series and this one did not disappoint! Phoenix is one tough heroine. This book will make you laugh and cry! Riley is an awesome Dad and Jake, their son is an admirable teenage boy who's adorable!

Again with awesomeness

Brenda Novak never disappoints me. I loved this story best of all in the Whiskey Creek series.

Carly Robins hits it put of the park again.

On to the next in the series...

One of the best story lines I've ever listened to.

This story line was incredibly written. The main character's situation was tragic. The author did a great job of writing the story, and the emotion of the two main characters was superb. For the first time ever, I had tears and my compassion was at a soul level. Wow, well done, Ms Novak.

Loved this so much!

I thoroughly enjoyed this! It was fairly predictable, but it was still a very pleasant, romantic story. So well written, so well narrated. i will be searching for more of Ms Novak’s books to read!

Great second chance love story!

Any additional comments?

Loved it! Top read for me!

Mothers....

I love this story. Riley's mother almost ruined the entire story. She is awful. Throughout the book, I wanted him to cut ties with her. She is every sterotype of a meddlesome, rotten mother.

Slow Burn Romance

This is the first book I've listened to by Brenda Novak. I wasn't sure about it at first since I have just listened to another book with a similar storyline that is an all time favorite listen. But I love the storyline/tropes and I wasn't disappointed. There were aspects that didn't seem believable, such as how Jacob accepted his mom pretty much immediately. Maybe if he'd been a younger teen? Riley and Phoenix were likable characters and Jacob has such an important roll in Phoenix's acceptance. Phoenix's actions both broke and warmed my heart. A beautiful story.

*I listened to this audiobook through the Audible Plus Catalog.

Great story

Very good story, had me all the way thru. Very nice plot. Narrator did good job as well

Such a compelling and lovely story

I finally purchase this book on Audible after listening to it several times. I decided that I wanted to have it available to enjoy anytime. There are a lot of interesting angles and messages all wrapped up in a very delicious love story.
