3.5 starsSometimes you have to travel the world to realize that what you really want and need is what you left behind. Small towns are difficult for some to grow up in, they can't wait to leave it and make there mark in the world, to scratch the itch that staying still in a small place brings them. Sometimes two people meet and have a relationship but not at the right time in their lives for one of them to commit. If they are really lucky when that person is ready the chance will still be there waiting for them. That is the case for Carson Vance who has come home for the holidays to help his father and finds the woman he left behind still there, the woman whose heart he broke.Julie Long met Carson Vance in college. She's originally from the city from a well to do family but she never fit into that world.  Carson took her to his home town and she found her place and never left but Carson could not stay so she had to let him go. Through the years when Carson visited they would pick things up again, it was her choice to let it happen for she knew he would still not stay but this time she is older and wiser and is determined to keep things platonic. But how can she do that when he is the only person that has truly ever made her feel.This is a cute, sweet contemporary romance,  a second chance at lasting love. The hero has done his traveling and though he still feels the wanderlust it does not drive him as it once did, there is no satisfaction in it anymore. Can having Julie again be the thing that grounds him this time? She is for him what he is for her, the one there really ever was. Julie has grown into a remarkable woman, successful in her business, independent and sexy. Even without the family and small town resident meddling he is as ever drawn to her but he first must face the things in himself that sent him wandering and decide on what he really wants out of life. The time has come for Carson Vance to make peace with everything.
