When a tragedy leaves a divorced couple with guardianship of their friends’ little girl, Laurel and Gavin drop everything for the sake of the child. Meanwhile, a case worker begins searching for a more suitable arrangement, and the estranged couple move into their friends’ home to provide temporary care for Emma and manage the on-property apple orchard. As they work together to comfort the grieving child and manage the busy harvest, tempers flare—as does the passion they both remember so well. But will the seeds of love, still growing inside them, thrive and flourish? Or will grief and regret strangle the feelings before they can fully blossom?
Gavin! I feel like I've been waiting forever to finally get Gavin's story. You know from the first book in this series that Gavin's story is tragic and haunts him. But this book? The tragedy just expands and it is honestly heartbreaking. My heart was invested in the characters, the story and the outcome.
Grief is such a hard thing because everyone grieves so differently and the process moves at a different pace for everyone. This is very true for Gavin and Laurel. I was so grateful for the flashback scenes to when Gavin and Laurel fell in love and how their love story progressed. It gave me the much needed foundation and information I needed to understand them both- maybe especially Laurel.
There's nothing like joining forces for the good of someone else to bring people together. In this case, the sweetest little girl needed love and security and family. I love that no matter what was going on between Gavin and Laurel, they were one hundred percent committed to Emma. That was good for my heart. And there is something so satisfying about second chance love stories. This is such a good one. I loved it.
I would definitely recommend reading this series in order.
