How can Shelby Hawkley forgive Gage Jamero for bailing on her when she needed him most? He and her husband, Nick, were the best part of her life. Now her former best friend is back, shaking up the widowed wine harvester's world. The safest bet is to protect herself. Except Gage is awakening feelings that are decidedly unfriend-like.
Shelby is the woman Gage has secretly loved since high school. Starting over—together—could be the best dream he's ever had. If only he can find the courage to say what he should have said all those years ago.

Here we go today with another fabulous Harlequin Heartwarming title- "One Perfect Year". Just in case I've never said this before, I love Harlequin Heartwarming. They provide me with clean romance books that focus on relationships, emotions and romance. I know what I'm going to get when I pick one a book from this line. I know I won't be surprised by any sexual situations. That's perfect for me.
If you like friendship turning to romance stories, this book will make you happy. Shelby and Gage have been friends for a long time. Of course, Gage has always loved Shelby but Shelby fell in love with his best friend so Gage was never free to act on his feelings for Shelby. Gage is nothing but a gentleman. He is very careful with Shelby and her feelings. He knows that he has to change her spinster mindset though if he's going to win her over. Luckily, he has a few town friends on his side who help to gently nudge Shelby along.
I know this is the fourth book in the series but I do believe it is a stand alone novel. I haven't read the first three books in the series but I never felt like I was missing out on anything. I'd love to go back and read the whole series though.
This is a sweet story of love and friendship. I enjoyed it from beginning to end.
