Tessa is
returning to Hope Falls (a new town in this series, similar to Harpers
Crossing); Jake hasn’t seen her in 13 years, ever since she left him and town
all together without a word.
Tessa came
back to finalize her grandma’s will, then discovers the house she inherited is
in debt for $30K. Yikes! Guess she has to stay in town until she fixes it up
and sells it. Not that it was such a bad thing. I mean, Jake wasn’t 17 anymore—he
was a MAN and a firefighter. HOTTIE! Jake was Tessa’s first—first kiss, first
time, first love, first proposal. What happened? Why did she leave such sweet
man-candy? Ah, she left to see the world. Understandable. But there’s actually
more to it than that.
I didn’t
blame Jake for being pissed. They both had plans and she just left like a
coward. No wonder his heart turned to ice.
Like the Harpers
Crossing books, characters all have the same history, childhood, and memories.
Everybody knows everybody, each paired off with their significant other, and
they are all family. And, like the previous Shawn novels, each couple has their
own electric chemistry and compatibility. Jake and Tessa have this special
kinship and bond—they were practically made for each other. Once again, Shawn
captivates us with heartwarming stories and endearing characters.
My rating: 4 stars
