Nicole has avoided going home in an effort to keep away from the one man that left her a broken mess ten years before, Wyatt Clayton. When her Father has a serious medical issue, she drops everything to rush there as quickly as possible. Wyatt has spent the last ten years stewing in anger at Nicole, and seeing her again has him wondering if he ever really got over her. Nicole and Wyatt are thrown together unceremoniously as Nicole fills in for her Father's veterinarian responsibilities, and the two try to avoid bringing up the past. When the epic blowout the two know is coming finally arrives will everything fall into place or will they both be blown into smithereens?This was a great read. Nicole and Wyatt are great characters, and their history goes back ten years as teenagers in love to an abrupt end. The cause of the relationship's end is left blank and explained little by little as the story progresses. Both Nicole and Wyatt have uphill emotional battles going on that readers are treated to. It was great watching these two take the journey that was such a long time coming. I really loved being able to see both POV's; this wouldn't have been as great if we only had one POV to go by. The author did a really good job of trying to keep the readers from connecting all the dots too soon and really just playing it as Nicole and Wyatt came to terms with it.Had the readers been told through Nicole's POV or Wyatt's POV the whole back story right off the bat, this would not have had anywhere near the same emotional impact as it does when it all finally comes out. We're treated to little bits and pieces and we're able to make assumptions without having it spelled out though. The author did a great job at getting me emotionally invested in the story, and I really enjoyed this and I loved the epilogue. I would definitely recommend this.
