Summary

Jacqueline Keys was ostracized from her small hometown of Pine Springs, Texas, when she was 17, sent away because she was gay. Her family was the largest employer in the county, owning Pine Springs Lumber, and her father was mayor of this small town. Her mother could not accept the fact that her only child was gay, could not tolerate the gossip about her family. So, with a hundred dollars in her pocket and a one-way bus ticket out of town, Jacqueline was told not to come back until she had come to her senses. And that included being prepared to marry the son of a business associate of the family.

Fifteen years later - long after she'd hitch-hiked to Los Angeles, long after she'd worked nights to put herself through college, and long after she'd written her first best seller, No Place for Family - Jacqueline is persuaded to go back to the tiny town of Pine Springs after her father's death.

The quick trip she'd envisioned for the funeral turns into weeks as she learns her father's business is suddenly hers to manage. And she is also again face-to-face with the woman who, as a teen, had been Jackie's first crush. She and Kay had been inseparable as kids and later as teens. They find themselves falling back into their old habits, and Jackie is soon fighting the same feelings she'd had when she was 17.

another good one

really good read, love the accents and the tension. however slightly less spice than other books, with two scenes feeling very cut short. wish it could've gone on for longer but it was interesting, you really routed for them and loved the side characters

Another great Gerri Hill...

... She more than pulls it off again. Another gently sweet love story with just the right amount of angst and Abby Craden does a terrific job too.

Great listen

Jacqueline receives a call from her father's attorney advising her of her father's death and returns to her home town for the funeral and Will reading to find that her Father left her more than she barged for.

Returning home after 15 years she meets up with her old best friend Kay who she happened to have her first crush on when she was younger. After catching up, It's clear there is a deep connection between Jacqui and Kay. However, Kay is scared to come out of the closet and be with Jacqui. Will Jacqui return to LA on her own leaving Kay behind or will Kay be her true self and be with Jacqui?

Abby's narration was amazing as always, I can listen to her all day and I do 🤣 her southern accent for Kay is wicked, thoroughly enjoyed it!

Highly Recommend

My first Gerri Hill

I honestly adored these 2... the intimacy, the friendship, longing, desire and love... The storyline brilliantly done, keeping my interest throughout... and what a beautiful ending...

Abby, you are the one leading my path through my book journey... I cannot at this time do without your wonderful narration... you are a true artist...

Loved it !

So sweet as a story and easy to listen to.
One of my favourites and ive now worked my way through a good percentage of the Geri Hill collection.
This is "Classic Geri Hill" if you like what you usually get with a Geri Hill love story you'll like this book.
