Holly Fisher is the sister who always feels like she isn't quite good enough, her career as a song writer wasn't good enough because she was perceived to be the slacker in the family she sort of just fell into that roll. Her mother always compared her to her sister Hannah, whose life seems to be totally together, she has a happy marriage, a good job and Mason, her nine month old son. But when Hannah's life spirals out of control, she "dumps Mason on Holly and takes off saying she will be back. While Mason, starts out as an inconvenience to Holly he soon becomes the center of her world, she even moves back to the old home place, which she inherited after her mothers death because she thought it was more child friendly. The last thing she was looking for when she moved back to the homestead was a romance but when her neighbor Wyatt Clark comes riding in she soon finds herself falling in love with him, but not just him but the ideal of the family they could be. When Hannah returns wanting Mason, how will Holly handle it, and what will become of the relationship between Holly and Wyatt? I loved this story. The author writes her characters with such depth. While the sisters were quite different, they also had alot in common. It was easy to sympathize with Hannah and Holly. Hannah loved her son Mason, but she had no choice but to get help. When she leaves Mason with Holly the bond that develops is quick and strong. I could feel Holly's fear and dread when she knew that she might have to give Mason back. By the end of the story I felt like the author had made them better versions of themselves, allowing what they had been through to actually bring them closer. Wyatt was one of those guys every girl dreams of finding. It was so nice to see his broken heart find someone else to love. There were a few times when Holly was pushing Wyatt away that I just wanted to kick her. The author wraps up the story nicely with a somewhat expected ending. I also liked the secondary character of Jesse Wheeler, the ranch hand, he was a fun loving guy who brought a bit of humor to the story. This book is a sequel to "Summer of Two Wishes" but can easily be read as a stand alone work. I didn't read the first book in the series and had no problems jumping into this story, although I really wish I had read the first story because it tells the story of Wyatt and how his heart was broken. If your a fan of contemporary romance that has very well developed characters and a story that will also tug at your emotions then your going to enjoy this one. I was provided a complimentary copy of this book by the publisher in exchange for an honest review.
