About this listen

Daisy Lee Monroe thought she'd brushed the dust of Lovett, Texas, off her high-heeled shoes years ago, but she's come back home only to find that little has changed. Her sister is still crazy, and her mom still has pink plastic flamingos in her front yard. And Jackson Lamott Parrish, the bad boy she'd left behind, is still so sexy it hurts. She'd like nothing better than to avoid this particular man, but she can't. Daisy has something to say to Jackson, and she's not going anywhere until he listens.

Jackson learned his lesson about Daisy the hard way, and now the only word he's interested in hearing from Daisy's red lips is good-bye. But she's popping up everywhere, and he doesn't believe in coincidence. It seems the only way to keep her quiet is with his mouth, but kissing Daisy had once been his downfall. Is he strong enough to resist her now? Strong enough to watch her walk out of his life again? Strong enough to make her stay?

Absolutely love Rachel Gibson’s writing and books. Great romance stories and always griping… honestly, I didn’t like this one as much. I agree with reviews that don’t like the “leading lady”, but my biggest pet peeve was the constant flash backs (but that’s a personal preference). I mostly disliked the way the Jack and Daisy interacted… with teenage level logic or none at all (to me). I’d recommend reading it yourself. Personal opinions are always biased.


As for the narrator: I’d read anything Kathleen Early read! Great narration as always!

Disappointing story, but good narrator

Daisy was beyond selfish and did not redeem herself throughout. Barely an apology and expects everyone to 'understand' and 'forgive' straight away. Jack and Nathan were likable characters. She didn't do enough to apologise or understand Jack's POV. Spoiled pretty girl, used to having everyone give way to her.

MC is not likeable

probably the most emotional and complex of Rachel Gibsons stories I've read so far. was a bit slow to get started but made my heart ache for Jack. I didn't like the narrators voice for Jack but was tolerable

This is well worth listening to one of the best books I have had in ages some bits predictable but overall a sweet book wish there was more in the series

Okay story but really didn’t like the ‘leading lady’ character. Taking Jacks child and having someone else raise him then just expected Jack to forgive her. Felt like the ‘leading man’ deserved better.

Leading Lady not very likeable

When you wrong someone, you can't just demand forgiveness. What she had done was unforgivable, and wrong on so many levels. It's true that the best way forward is to forgive, but she had lost the rights to ask for one. She should have waited for him to come to the decision by himself. But she didn't trust him enough to love and be with him until he came to the term. By forgiving her and his friend, he was being a bigger person. Albeit not perfect himself, he deserved way better.

Unlikeable female protagonist

The heroine makes a terrible, immature decision at the age when people make terrible immature decisions. It makes no sense but I can live with it. But to double down on that decision for 15 years? To return to town to do what's right and then... just not bother, for 'reasons'? It's packaged as a romance but the romantic aspects grossed me out, in this context. Maybe the book improves in the second half. Maybe the author addresses the heroine's 'poor me' selfishness, but I couldn't go on. The hero deserved better.

Can't get past it...
