Carson Scott had his heart broken at 18 when Annie Prudhomme left Marietta, Montana and never looked back. Fifteen years later he's astounded to see her working as a waitress at the local diner. Seeing her brings back all the feelings he had and he wonders if they ever went away. Is Annie back for good and can he somehow manage to keep his heart this time?I'm a big fan of the trope second time love. On reading the blurb, I didn't think I was going to a big Annie fan but once I started reading and learned more about the choices she made I understood and liked her more than I initially thought I would. I felt for Annie for losing so much when she left Marietta, leaving more then Carson behind and then coming home broken and looking for a place to pull herself together again.Carson on the other hand was steadfast which is a character trait I adore in a man, well anyone. I liked how involved he was in the local community and taking care of his son Evan. As much as Carson wanted Annie in his life for good he had to make sure it was just that for Evan's sake as much as his. Evan by the way is adorable. I mean he asked Santa for a Mommy. It's as heart wrenching as it is cute.Katherine Garbera has done a wonderful job with this story about two old lovers who are trying to find a new balance with each other and what they need as individuals. Their journey hasn't been the smoothest but life isn't like that.  This story will definitely leave you in the holiday mood.
