Editorial Product DescriptionWhen Brenna Langdon reluctantly returns to Collins, Oklahoma for her best friend's wedding, the last person she expects to run into is Luke Morgan...the rancher who befriended her years ago following her parents' sudden death. Luke is strong, gentle, and impossibly handsome...just what Brenna needs.Except for one thing--he loves his ranch...and the slow-paced solitude of Collins.Painful memories of her parents' death and the agony of living in Collins with a cruel aunt and uncle have made Brenna vow to never return...except for the wedding. Three days, and she's out of there--back to her high-powered, fast-paced marketing job in Chicago.But Luke has other plans...to chase painful memories away and bring Brenna home to Collins, for good.--JoAnn's Thoughts~The premise of the story intrigued me, so I picked this quick read up from my review pile for a fun bedtime story last week. I appreciated the struggle that Brenna faced as she wrestled between the two worlds of rural and urban living... and Luke is a very loveable hero as well. Mary Manners is a gifted author. The only reason I'm not giving this story a full 5 star rating is because it felt a bit too rushed. I found myself invested as a reader into the lives of the characters, and I wanted to know more. :)
