I received this book as a gift from a friend who thought it would be a great read for the 4th of July since the setting is the 4th of July.  I have to say that I started and read it all in the wee hours of  the 4th of July.  I only planned to read a chapter, but I got sucked in and finished it.What I loved most about this story was that it truly is a romance story.  The sad stuff happened prior to the book's beginning, so we are reading about our heroine healing. She does discuss some of the bad stuff, but it was important to know.I loved Tessa's father and how he saw through Tessa and the emotions she was going through.  Her father was able to help Tessa see that the break-up she experienced was opening the door to something great.  I loved how her father was protective but knew how to make Tessa see what she could miss out on if she let Garrett leave without trying.Garrett, oh Garrett!  I loved everything about him.  He didn't push on their first date, he made Tessa see what he saw and didn't let her go.  The only flaw was his arriving late on their first date.This was such a sweet story that the only thing I was disappointed by was the shortness of the story, ONLY because I wanted more.
