Book Blurb-
When Beth Michaels high tailed it out of the hole-in-the-road town she grew
up in, she only had two goals. One—get as far away as quickly as
possible, and two—never set foot in her parent’s home again. But when
she receives a heart breaking call from her childhood best friend, Jen,
she has no choice but to turn her ’56 Ford pickup back in the direction
of Salem, Missouri to attend a funeral.
There’s a new local in town when Beth arrives, and suddenly, it ain’t all that easy
for her to remember her rules for dating. #1. Cookie-cutter-perfect guys
ain’t her type. #2. Tie wearin’ and church frequentin’ is an automatic
dismissal. #3. Most importantly, never date anyone from small minded,
conservative, Bible-thumping towns like Salem. Unfortunately, Matthew
Wright breaks all her rules and then some.
Matt might be
from a small town and have small town values, but that doesn’t mean he
fits into a little slot of Beth’s preconceived notions. After all, ever
so often good guys are good. Now if he could just convince Beth to let
go of her past and give him a chance, he’s pretty sure there’s a whole
lotta sweet under that prickly exterior. His own … Sweet Contradiction.
My review:
Sometimes friends are all you have. Especially when you come from an abusive home. Beth Knows all too well what it means to want to get away. When she gets old enough she leaves town and never looks back.
Her only friend in the world needs her, and it is worth the risk to go back to that awful town. When she gets there she remembers things that she would rather forget. She has to face old foes and find a way to live there again. Even if only for a short period of time. I liked the friendship, and I liked that Beth was a strong person. I liked the ending, and I hope there is a sequel so I can read more about Jen.
I am giving this book a 5/5. I was given a copy to review, however all opinions are my own.
