I swore I’d never go home again.
With nothing more than a few boxes and a beat up truck, I left behind my old life at the tender age of eighteen to pursue my medical career.
And I never looked back.
Twelve years later, I find myself traveling back to the sandy shores of that North Carolina town where my late father has left me his medical practice. Coming here means facing my past… My memories… And her—Molly McIntyre.
Growing up, Molly had been my entire world, first as a childhood friend and then so much more. We’d made promises to each other back then. Promises I broke when I walked away. And now that I’m back? Well, let’s just say she’s not exactly the head of my welcoming committee. But even she can’t deny the undeniable spark that still burns so brightly between us and soon, we’re tumbling fast and hard into the past.
But I need to keep my eyes set to the future, because mine isn’t here in this dead end town. Not anymore.
All Molly has ever known is here, on this small island. Could I really ask her to give it all up? For me? If I walk away again, will she follow?

So, I have a confession. I've known about J.L. Berg for a very long time. Like 5 years of a long time. I even own some of her books. But I am ashamed to say, I had never read one of them until now.
And, I think I picked a humdinger to pop my J.L. Berg cherry.
This book had me from the beginning. And honestly, I was anticipating the rest of the series before I was halfway through with this book. All of the characters were captivating and had me wanting to know their stories. Especially Dean.
I was back and forth with Jake and Molly the whole time. Will they/Won't they? Yes/No? The push and pull was torturous. And absolutely wonderful.
I only had one issue, I would've like to see what Jake and Molly were doing individually during their time apart. Just so I could see what made them come to their final decisions.
All in all, I enjoyed it immensely, and could not wait to dive into the second book in this series.
J.L. Berg
