The past will always be between them
He swore he’d never return home. Then a flat tire lands Dean
Presley back in Grass Lake, Tennessee, and he’s forced to confront the woman he
left behind. Faith Stratton was once the love of his life. Now her gifted
brother could be the rising Nashville star Dean needs for his struggling music
label. But it means taking Sawyer away from the horse therapy farm that Faith’s
so proud of. That won’t be easy, especially since those old feelings that
started all the trouble… Well, let’s just say he can’t go back there, because
he doesn’t want to relive the memories of the terrible accident that drove them
apart.
The Girl He Used to Love is another offering this summer from Harlequin's Heartwarming collection. It's the first in a new series by this author. Dean is back in his hometown by what he would describe as bad luck. He vowed never to come back after the tragic death of his sister. He left behind everyone he loved, including Faith. For Faith, everyone seems to always leave her. When Dean wants to make her brother Sawyer a star, she struggles with letting go of yet another loved one.
While I thought the beginning was a little slow, I ended up enjoying Faith and Dean's story. It's not just another second chance story. It's about learning that home is the place you need to go when it's time to heal. Sometimes the place you want to be the least is the place you need to be the most. It was gut wrenching at times, but I enjoyed watching Dean and Faith move beyond past hurts. I loved the ending. The solution that Dean came up with in the end was absolutely perfect! I definitely want to read the next book, Catch a Fallen Star when is comes out in December! I would definitely recommend this sweet, clean second chance romance. It's a great summertime escape!
