Review
***A story worthy of five stars***
I loved this short, heart warming story about two people who become friends which, in turn, find themselves falling for one another.
Maisie is a very broken soul having tragically lost her husband and her unborn child in a tornado two years previous. She does not allow herself get close to anybody, and keeps herself busy working as a waitress in a small town diner.
This is until Ryan Tucker walks through the doors of the diner and becomes addicted to more than just their homemade apple pie! Ryan also has had his fair share of heartache, being left by his fiancée six months previous, he has moved to this small town to make a new life for himself. I loved both characters and the way they seemed to heal each others traumatic and heart breaking past, so that they could both move on to be with each other, to love and be loved.
I adored the way Ryan was so determined to put a smile on Maisie's face (he certainly put one on mine). I found myself sighing and swooning over Ryan, as he was just so thoughtful, caring and damn sexy with it. I admired the way that Ryan never gave up on Maisie knowing how hard it was for her to trust him, and to admit to herself she deserved to be happy and in love.
This is the first book I have read by Christy Newton and can honestly say I loved her style of writing, and look forward to reading more of her books.
