DESCRIPTION:
When Callie McCallahan left Hoker, Kentucky, she thought it was for good. Her parents moved the family away to pursue financial success. Since then, she’s had some bumps in the road, most recently the humiliation of a failed engagement. When she inherits her uncle’s farm in her old neighborhood, it’s the perfect do-over. With her social media skills, she’ll attract a whole new following and restart her career. The only thing is…she knows nothing about farming.
For Tanner Patrick, Callie was the one who got away. He crushed on her in high school, but she barely knew he existed. Ten years later, she’s backand now she lives next door. Tanner keeps his head down and focuses on his family’s tree farm. But when he sees that Callie is in way over her head and looking pretty down-to-earth and happy—Tanner finds her impossible to ignore.
When Callie stumbles through the woods and encounters her sexy chain-saw-wielding neighbor, Callie definitely notices Tanner. Could this be the do-over each of them didn’t know they needed?

MY THOUGHTS:
Callie McCahallan has walked away from her cheating fiancé, as well as the expectations of her family. They are affluent, and if Callie marries into the other family, their wealth and affluence will continue to thrive.
Although still stinging from the hurt she experienced, one thing is clear. She was definitely not in love, so she is not nursing a broken heart. Inheriting her uncle’s farm and all of the duties that come with it should prove to be a nice distraction while she redirects her life.
Tanner Patrick fantasized about Callie most of the years they were in school. However, she was completely unaware of him then and tries to act as if she is unaffected by him now. Even if there’s a frisson of attraction towards Tanner, Callie is frustrated by the fact that he constantly makes it clear that he wants her gone. However, Callie digs her feet in, gets her hand dirty, and starts to see life in a new vein.
As high school students, Callie and Tanner never had the opportunity to meet. Tanner was enamored with Callie and developed romantic feelings for her, but she remained oblivious to his presence. Despite not having come from Callie’s affluent background, Tanner has cultivated a profound sense of love and kindness that has transformed him into an extraordinary individual. With the support of his family and his growing affection for Callie, the narrative of this exceptional novel unfolds into a sensual, heartwarming and poignant love story. Moreover, Addie—a character who embodies the essence of compassion and understanding—is a testament to the transformative power of love and family.
Many thanks to Harlequin Trade Publishing and to NetGalley for this ARC for review. This is my honest opinion.
