First, thank you to Keri Ford for providing me with a copy of her book in exchange for an honest review. It was my first book from her but it won’t be my last!The author has a great way of writing her characters that I honestly feel like I know these people! She also perfectly describe the way gossip and reputation work in a small town. You can’t do anything without everybody learning about it as soon as it’s done and if you do wrong once, no matter how good you’ll be afterward it’s always going to define who you are for most people.I had a hard time relating to Kara at first. I felt bad for the way she was treated by people when she first came back to town, she screwed up when she was a teenage girl but it wasn’t that bad, it only blew out of proportion because it was in such a small town. At the same time she hurt Whitney, Wade and even John and never tried to make amend until she had no option but to come back to her hometown so she might not deserved the way the townsfolk were with her but she could have deserved a much harder welcome from Whitney and John.Whitney is definitely the most likable character of the book. She’s the girl you want as your best friend and the one you want on your side against old bitchy cheerleaders! She welcome Kara’s back with open arms and she give her a place in her business as well as in her life. She never pushed to know why Kara had such a change of behavior and even gave her blessing to Wade when he realise that is feelings for Kara are not going away.Wade was an enigma for me at first. He has a strong attraction to Kara, which is obvious from the moment she shows on the Chester’s farm doorstep but at the same time he can’t forget what she did 7 years ago. I found it strange before we knew the complete story because beside the fact that she hurt Whitney pretty bad when she turned away from her Wade was the one who dumped her. He’s so set to hate Kara and shut her out of his life that I was surprised that he gave to his attraction so easily…but boys will be boys!Lady’s this book should serve as a life lesson….scheme, particularly when it’s related to relationship never ends well! If both Wade and Kara had been honest from the start this whole mess would have never happened! I also have to say that I felt bad for John, he acted like an ass when he was younger but his feelings for Kara were genuine and my heart broke for him, I hope he’ll have his happy ending.The book contained all the hot romance that you would usually find in New Adult books and coupled with excellent writing and a great story-line. If you like NA then this is a book that you will want to pick up and dive right into!I’m looking forward to the next one in the series and I hope we’ll have a book about Whitney and Brandon the barman!
