Dani Jo is a smart mouthed country girl that doesn’t take crap from anyone.  She is still reeling from the death of her father and feels she has to protect her mom from her scheming step-siblings.  She is sure that love is not in the cards for her.  She has come back home after trying to make an escape.  She has dreams but can’t see past THIS moment to make them come true.  She is stuck.Holden is a backwards ball cap wearing country boy.  He is also stuck.  Stuck in a job he hates, stuck working for his father, on the road where a quick romp or BJ in a bar hallway (laugh out loud crazy scene) has been enough.  Then he meets Dani Jo.From their first meeting sparks fly!  As they get to know each other the attraction deepens.  For once Dani Jo is putting herself first.  For once Holden is going for what he wants.  Holden is THE ONE, and she will not settle.  As crap gets in the way they have to part.  She is devastated.  But even as she learns that everything is not as it seems in her hometown she is given reason to hope.  Even after feeling betrayed by family and friends she has hope, and that is what helps her keep moving forward.Holden also finally comes to his senses- realizing that he has to change and go after what he wants in life.  That love will be worth the fight.I love how this story reads as if the author is speaking right to you- telling you a bit about old friends.  This a sweet and sometimes sad romance that will have you flying through the pages.  EA is a gifted storyteller, leading you along on a journey of love in a small town, where things are not as they seem so be ready for the fireworks!
