I was lucky enough to be contacted by the author through Facebook this summer and have been anxiously awaiting this book.I'm so excited for Aine because this is truly an awesome debut!I think that perhaps my favorite part of this story is that the drama was kept to a minimum. Everything that Ben and Sam went through on their own and together was very realistic. As heartbreaking, frustrating and touching as it was.Sam was an awesome character who has given up on love. The job she had lined up for after graduation has fallen through sending her to Napa Valley to love with her roommate and best friend Jenny and her family.Ben is Jenny's brother who is still reeling from the loss of his fiancé in a car accident.The two of them have spoken over the phone through the years but when they meet for the first time in person the spark is undeniable.They both struggle with the feelings they quickly develop for each other but it becomes too hard to stay away.There a fumbles and missteps, misunderstandings and doubts but their connection just might be enough to give them their HEA.I loved Ben and Sam from the bottom of my heart and was both happy and frustrated as they tried to figure things out for themselves.This was a sweet, easy read and an awesome debut!I cannot wait to read more from Aine Kelley in the future. She's an amazing writer and an even more amazing person.*I received an ARC from the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review.
