Shortly after her step-father’s death, Jess returns home to Destiny Falls to help her mother adjust to life without her husband and to try to resolve some of the issues that came between her and her mother over the years. Jess is an energetic, high achiever and a successful buyer for a shoe company, who really doesn’t want to return but feels she must. Throughout the weeks that pass during her stay in Destiny Falls, she also must cope the chipping away of her tough veneer as she passes her days in Destiny Falls. To make matters worse, her one-time crush (at age 14) Adam looms bigger than ever as he begins a crusade to win her over. Can Jess get through all this and can she finally realize her true heart and what her life means? I won’t go into much more detail, so I will not spoil this for the reader. This is really quite a good story. I loved the way Jess and her mother came to terms with each other and found they could let the past go. The chemistry between Adam and Jess was also well done and fascinating to watch, as they each danced around their developing relationship. I did find Adam difficult to take at some points, as he came across as very smug—which overshadowed his true nature and feeling for Jess. The town of Destiny Falls is a perfect small town, with the small town culture we have come to know and love and a perfect setting for this type story. The interchanges between Jess and her other were very insightful and true to life. This is a book written for chick lit lovers of all ages. It will tug at your heart and making you chuckle at times. I have not read any other books by this author but plan to in the future. I received this from NetGalley to read and review. I was given a copy of this book by NetGalley and the publisher for an honest review.Jess Morgan returns to the one place she never wanted to see again. Nine years ago she lost her father and boyfriend in a logging accident and her mom didn't wait long before marrying a man who loathed Jess. His death has brought her back to care for her heartbroken mom. Jess uses the time there to reconnect with her best friend, re-establish a relationship with her mother and further her friendship with forester Adam Wright, who wants more than friendship. Can Adam convince Jess that he and Destiny Falls are where she belongs or will the memories be too much for Jess...
