Do you remember your first kiss?  Well, Haley Carston does, even 12 years after Maddox Michaels, her best friend Katie’s older brother, kissed her at her senior prom.  Haley has been gone twelve years, but is back in Redbud Trails, Oklahoma, to take care of her Aunt Matilda, who is dying of cancer.  That’s the only reason she has returned.  In coming back, Haley meets Maddox again and past feelings resurface, but Maddox is too busy working and worrying to think there’s hope for something more than friendship between them.  He has so many responsibilities: working long hours just trying to keep his head above water to keep from losing the family farm; taking care of his brother Justin, whose bull-riding career is ended from being stomped by a bull; being the guardian of his 11-year-old niece Olivia, Katie’s daughter.  Once Haley and Olivia meet—Olivia wants to start a business selling gourmet ice cream—Haley becomes a frequent visitor to the farm and gets involved with the whole family.  What a difference she makes in all their lives!  It takes some time, but Haley and Maddox realize how much they love each other and whatever problems might be ahead, they can work them out together.  This was a great story.  I would recommend it to everyone.
