Generally I like reunion romances but not usually when they dip in and out of relationships like happened here.Adam and Zoe were high school sweethearts and kept the relationship going through college. But when his ambition (note story title) kept him away from Emerald Springs and Zoe didn't want to follow, it spelled the beginning of the end of the relationship.Since then Zoe has tried to rebuild her life and now she runs a bakery in her home town and lives more or less as an adopted daughter of Adam's family. Her own father is the town drunk and a troublemaker.Adam's return brings up all sorts of issues. His father wants him to take over the family tea plantations but Adam has a new promotion for his dream job elsewhere. His brothers have there own take on the prodigal son so he has a lot of proving to do and not just to his family.When Adam and Zoe meet again, all the old attraction is still there, but being dumped twice by Adam because of his ambition, makes it hard for her to trust him.This was a sweet story with lots of nice people and a little mystery thrown in. Not my favourite kind of reunion but an enjoyable start to the series with a nice cast of characters.
