Last time Lila Harris was in
Happy, Texas, she was actively earning her reputation as the resident wild
child. Now, a little older and wiser, she's back to run her mother's café for
the summer. Except something about this town has her itching to get a little
reckless and rowdy, especially when she sees her old partner-in-crime, Brody
Dawson. Their chemistry is just as hot as ever. But he's still the town's
golden boy-and she's still the wrong kind of girl.
Brody hasn't had much time lately
for anything other than ranching. Running the biggest spread in the county and
taking care of his family more than keeps him busy. All that responsibility has
him longing for the carefree days of high school—and Lila. She may have grown
up, but he still sees that spark of mischief in her eyes. Now he's dreaming
about late-night skinny dipping and wondering how he can possibly resist the
one woman he can never forget...

This was an enjoyable, well paced, small town romance, with a bit of the 2nd chance element tossed in. I say a bit, as while there was a relationship with the characters in the past, it was never one that was allowed to grow and neither of them saw it as something with a future, so while this was a second chance, it really was more of their first chance to explore what they had without it having an automatic expiration date. But, at the same time, she was only there for the summer...so it was like a do-over of their history, but as adults.
Lila and Brody have chemistry, but they also like one another, and appreciate one another for who they each are. There is a bit at the end that is so perfect, so perfect, that you just get to really see how they each feel about the other. Don't worry, I am not going to spoil it, you will know it when you get there, and it is perfect.
The parts with the supporting characters, in my opinion, were a little long in places, so I did feel that this was a draw away from the central characters at times. Not enough for me to dislike the story, but enough for me to wish that a little more time had been spent with Brody and Lila. They still worked well, and there was a lot of them that was present in the book, but I think I wanted just a bit more.
That said, I enjoyed this book.
I recommend this book and I am looking forward to the next in the series.
