Description

From an award-winning USA Today and Wall Street Journal best selling author comes a steamy friends to lovers small town romance that will appeal to fans of Melanie Harlow, Elsie Silver, and Laura Pavlov.

Adventure is in Captain Hudson Miller’s blood. For the past ten years, he's spent his days in the sky, serving as a pilot for the Army. But where adventure called him away, something—someone—is calling him home. On post-deployment leave, he escapes to the one place he hasn’t been since he enlisted: Havenbrook, Mississippi. Hometown of his momma’s peach cobbler, enough memories to last a lifetime, and the only girl who ever left an imprint on his heart.

Mackenna Haven thought she'd have her life figured out by now. Instead, she's a twenty-seven-year-old college drop out who works at her soon-to-be brother-in-law's bar and lives on her parents' land. No husband or kids to her name. Not even a consistent weekend booty call. She's been pretending she's happy working dead-end jobs in an even deader-end town, but she can't stop thinking she was meant for more than this.

After a childhood as best friends and a single weekend exploring more, Mackenna and Hudson haven't seen each other in ten years. But they made a pact that long ago weekend, and Hudson's coming to make good on his promise. Except he walked away from her once already, and she's not interested in opening her heart and allowing him a second chance at destruction.

    I thought Mackenna and Hudson’s second chance was a good one. I love a small town setting romance. I thought it was charming and cute. I loved the little bit of drama in the book but it was overall a sweet romance. The sass in the story was fun. It was a quicker read but defiantly a good one. I would defiantly recommend this book 📚

    This was my first time reading a book by this author. I have to admit I struggled a bit to get into this book. But once storyline started to pick up I was hooked! I really liked main characters. Mac and Hudson were well developed, realistic and likable. I loved their bets and banter! There was also no shortage of steamy hot and explosive chemistry between them. Secondary characters were also well developed and really added to the storyline. I’ll have to go back and read Rory’s and Willow’s stories. I received a copy of this book from BadBoyUpdate and am voluntarily leaving my honest review.

    Ok so I don’t see that he is a heartbreaker but the opposite. She is too scared and broke his heart before but thanks goodness she redeemed herself. All right now I enjoyed this book, read it in one sitting (for the most part). The characters pull you into the story because of the attraction between them, and the fact that they have a past together. This is so sweet to get a point of view from both main characters. Hudson definitely loves Kenna and she does too, but she is scared which she came to terms with. The book dishes out sweetness, hot and heavy encounters which is a good balance and you don’t get lost in one. I received a free copy of this book and I'm voluntarily leaving a review.

    You have childhood best friends who lost their virginity to each other. Then ten years have passed since they have seen each other. He flies a Black Hawk with his best friend and copilot Caleb. Hudson has been a pilot in the Army for ten years. His father died in combat when he was ten years old. His mom and sister own The Sweet Spot Bakery and are getting it renovated. Mackenna is a college drop out who works at her soon to be brother in laws bar. The Willow Tree is the first and only bar in Havenbrook. Her dad is Mayor Richard Haven and he is hard to get along with. I loved them getting to know each other again and find CB in the mountains. This will have you feeling so many emotions from laughing out loud to sadness. Hudson and Kenna have several obstacles they have to overcome. Will they get their HEA ending with CB? I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.

    Can you go home again? Hudson left their little town in Mississippi a decade ago. Now he’s back. Mackenna never left, she’s drifting through small town life. I liked that the author really captured the southern small town. But will Hudson stick around this time? He did ghost on his bestie after they crossed the line from just friends to more once before. Recommend. 4.5 Received from Bad Boy Update.
