A widowed interior designer. The single dad small-town teacher who once broke her heart. Their cozy coastal hometown, where love deserves a second chance.

Annie Taylor Collins fled Crestpoint Beach at eighteen with a broken heart and a scholarship to Texas—determined to put Noah Davis and everything he meant to her in the rearview mirror. Seventeen years later she's back: newly widowed, her Dallas design career dissolved, and out of reasons to stay away. She came home to care for her ailing father. Not to fall in love again.

Noah Davis has spent years being everything he wasn't on prom night: dependable, devoted, and quietly carrying a torch for the one woman who got away.

I can't get past the AI narration

I can't get past the AI narration. I can't pay attention to the story with the monotone voice and when I do I always notice how the wrong tone is used.

Computer generated voice is awful.

I don’t like computer generated voice. There is no emotion or proper inflection, as a human reader would do.

Such a fun and wholesome story

I loved the story and I'm looking forward to book two in the series. I did not love the AI narration but it wasn't terrible. I would give it a 3/5

Fun to listen to

Fun to listen to. Sounds a bit like a Hallmark movie which is why I enjoyed it.

Very sweet feel good story

Very good feel good story for when you want to just destress from the world and kinda know it will have a happy ending
