"I broke my heart because I believed it would save yours." 

Now if that doesn't pull at your heartstrings.... Laina Kelley and Luke Marshall were high school sweethearts. When she moved to Nashville to live out her dreams, they thought their relationship could survive. But someone got in the way and convinced Luke that Laina was better off without him. When she runs from the marriage she knew wouldn't bring her happiness, Laina went to the only place and person she knew would welcome her. 

"Surround yourself with people who make your soul feel good." 

If there was one thing missing from Laina's life it was down to earth people who liked her for her. No airs, no frills. Being with Luke again brought life back to Laina. She was reinvigorated, renewed, and resolved to rid her life of the things and people that no longer brought her joy. She was ready to live life on her terms with the people who mattered most to her. The Marshalls, all of them, held a special place in Laina's heart. They showed her the meaning of family and what it was like to be loved unconditionally. The banter among the siblings and their parents was heartwarming. Their text messages left me laughing out loud. 

I am beginning to think that there is no story that the author will write that I won't love. I become so deeply fascinated and engrossed in the stories and characters that come to life between the pages of the author's books that I finished in a matter of hours. But also, know there was a book by the author just waiting on my e-reader was enough to put aside the two books I was reading to devour this one.

Looking forward to what comes next for the Marshall's. Maybe Gavin might eat his words about having kids? 

I received an advance copy of this book at my request and voluntarily left this review.
