This was a solid but very short story about childhood sweethearts who are reunited through the well meaning trickery of her family. The characters are likeable and I enjoyed the author's descriptive power in describing the scenery of Northern Oregon. It made me want to visit and take in the beauty.I had one problem with the story, and given that the story is so short, I think it is a central issue to the storyline- why was Autumn avoiding home? There is never an explanation given for why Autumn had to be manipulated into coming for a visit. She's a travel writer, so there was no reason her travels couldn't take her by her family home once in a while. Cory had no problem being there, even if he had to deal with the death of a parent. If they were such great friends and inseparable until she left for college, what's the problem?Overall, the story is well written and well edited. It is a clean read, with only kissing, no sexual situations. It leaves the reader with the promise of a HEA, as a good romance story should, but I had to mark off stars because I felt that the plot aspect was lacking. (Wow, I think my review may be half the length of the story! : P )Heat factor mild.
