About this audiobook
Eight years ago, Tyler Donnelly left Wishing River, Montana, after a terrible fight with his father and swore he’d never return. But when his father has a stroke, guilt and duty drive him home, and nothing is as he remembers — from the run-down ranch to Lainey Sullivan, who is all grown up now. And darn if he can’t seem to stay away.
Lainey’s late grandma left her two things: the family diner and a deep-seated mistrust of cowboys. So when Tyler quietly rides back into town looking better than hot apple pie, she knows she’s in trouble. But she owes his dad everything, and she’s determined to show Ty what it means to be part of a small town...and part of a family.
Lainey’s courage pushes Ty to want to make Wishing River into a home again — together. But one of them is harboring a secret that could change everything.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Cute story. Prodigal cowboy, Tyler Donnelly, returns home after 8 yrs after his father suffers a stroke. Their parting all those years ago after his mother’s death was brutal. Now he’s back and the townsfolk are treating him as a pariah. Everyone instead of the young owner of the diner. Lainey had been an 18yo when Ty had left but he still remembers the girl who had been raised by her grandmother. Now she’s a feisty woman who doesn’t take crap from anyone...and she’s the one who had been there for his father when Ty wasn’t. Lainey wants it all in a relationship and Ty doesn’t...who will break first?
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Once upon a time, a boy and his father parted ways. It seemed one sided, as in he left town with no notice leaving his father in the lurch because he was simply being a horse's behind...but as our leading lady Lainey finds out many years later, there are two sides to every story and not everything is as it first seems.
I already loved Lainey's character for her spunk and drive, but I had to give kudos for sticking to her values...though the timing was DEFINITELY a bit awkward. Hey, better late-ish than never, right? Also, I loved Ty's respect for her choice, even if he doesn't quite know what to do with himself, and how he was able to admit it may be too much for him. Of course, I also loved how he found himself falling into something he never saw coming, which leads to some heart-wrenching yet wonderfully selfless moments. There was always the little secret between them though that was going to rear its ugly head at some point...but, you know, what's a story without a little intrigue, right?
So, to summarize... it was SO GOOD! To give you a little bit more...I was SO happy with the ending, truly and one hundred percent. Concessions were made, truths were uncovered, dreams were rediscovered, forgiveness was found, and love made itself known. Be still me heart... 💕 If you're a fan of Contemporary Romance and don't mind your next potential book boyfriend wearing a cowboy hat from time to time (I'll totally overlook it...or hide the hat *giggle*), this one is for you!
**eARC received for review via NetGalley; opinions are my own - Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5We meet prodigal son Tyler who left his home 8 years ago after having a big fight with his father after losing his mother. Both of them blamed each other and after something his father revealed it was just too much for him so he fled and never contacted anyone. His father Martin has a stroke and so Tyler comes back to take care of him and saving their ranch, but he never expected to get the reception he was getting from everyone. Lainey is all alone in this world, she has lost all of her family so the friends that she has she is very loyal to and this town loves her because she is beautiful inside and out. When she sees Tyler she is instantly attracted to him and he is to her but she is angry with him because of his treatment on his father and she is keeping a secret from him. While Tyler keeps pushing Lainey away he can't help but fall in love with her (yeah I didn't get this since they barely spent time together, but it is what it is) Tyler ends up hurting her feelings and pushing her away only to regret it..Am hoping that we get a story on Hope and Dean soon and eventually Cade.Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..(netgalley) Voluntarily reviewed with my own thoughts and opinions
