About the Book
Lacey Meyers is on the fast track to success. Living in
Boston, working for a major retailer, and up for a promotion. Fate intervenes
and sends her back to her hometown of Fair Bend, North Carolina. She hasn't
spent more than a few days back home in ten years.
Will sparks fly when she
runs into Mason Peters, the man she left behind? When faced with the choice to
stay or go, which path will she choose this time? Join Lacey in this holiday
story of going home again, reconnecting with people from the past, and making
choices about life and love.
My Thoughts
This book definitely falls under the umbrella of a seasonal
holiday romance and it could easily form the basis of a movie on the Hallmark
Channel.
It’s a light, sweet read set in small town USA and, with an
audio time of approximately 3 hours, offers a good dose of entertainment
without needing a lot of time invested; time being at a premium during the
holidays when readers turn to books like this.
What I particularly enjoyed about this second chance romance
is that it was two people whose lives cross a second time, which proves to be
the right time for them both. Both Lacey and Mason made choices that were right
for them 10 years ago. And now, it’s a rediscovery of each other as somewhat new
people. There is some melancholy about lost chances but overwhelmingly it’s a
story about knowing when to stay, when to leave and when to reassess your
course in life.
A special mention goes to Alexia, the popular, sometimes ‘mean
girl’ from high school, who shows that people can change and are worth getting
to know the second time around...or maybe that only happens in fiction?
Amanda Strebling does a good job of narrating both male and
female voices. There’s some mispronunciation of a couple of words but nothing
that impacts the overall story. Alexia again shines through in the narration.
