This is the second book in this series.  Although each book is a stand alone book, for background purposes and to get a handle on who all the characters are, you should read Cree first.  Plus, Cree is an amazing book and you'll love Cree as much as you will love Tripp.Lacey is Milly's best friend.  She tattooed, mouthy and doesn't put up with crap from anyone. Up until now, we know she has a troubled past, but we don't know what all it involves.  Tripp is Cree’s cousin who was a successful professional baseball player, but then tragedy struck and he began drinking and doing drugs.  He lost everything.  Fresh out of rehab, Cree has invited him to stay and help work on the farm and heal.After a night of drinking at Milly's and Cree's wedding reception, Lacey and Tripp wake up together.  Tripp's parents are horrible and don't support him at all.  When Lacey hears the ugly words Tripp’s father says to him, she takes up for him and they quickly develop a deep bond and friendship.  Soon their relationship changes and becomes more.Both Tripp and Lacey are broken souls who have issues they still need to deal with.  We all know that sometimes the road to recovery and happiness isn’t smooth and has its set backs.  Tripp and Lacey discover that they’re more broken apart than they are together.This is a beautiful story of finding love; of finding the strength to take steps to repair yourself; and of finding the courage to take a chance and let your heart love. You will love both Tripp and Lacey and laugh when they laugh and cry when they cry.  All of the same wonderful characters from the first book are here and we get to see more of that precious sweet girl Annie.  I’d love to live by this group and hang out with them.I can’t wait to read the next book in this series, Miles, about Cree’s sister Willow.
