Jessica and Grayson have a story for the ages.

They fell in love as teenagers, but coming from different worlds that ended before adulthood. Moving forward with their lives, Jessica became a flight attendant while Grayson stayed in their small town and now has his daughter Amelia and raising her alone.

After an accident, Jessica returns to Willow Creek Valley to recover. She has every intention of leaving when she is cleared by her doctors, but she doesn't expect to run into Grayson, and when she does she is not prepared for how his life turned out either. Grayson is focused on his daughter Amelia, she doesn't want to take a trip down memory lane with Jessica, but when they keep running into each other in different circumstances, he can't seem to stay away. Their connection is still strong and they have a history that they find keeps coming back to them.

I loved watching Grayson and Jessica rediscover each other. After so many years apart, and swearing everyone around them to never mention the other, they were almost new people at this point. Seeing that their connection didn't just fade gave you something to root for. Amelia was an absolute sweetheart and I loved her! Watching her relationship with Jessica was so sweet.

The pacing was perfect, the characters were amazing, and the story was so well thought out. I loved every minute. I 100% will be continuing with the series because I love the side characters and need to see how everyone turns out!
