This was a cute unrequited love story. When Janie Lynn moves back to her small Texas town after years away in veterinary school, Tobias takes the leap to take her out on a date like he wanted to do so many years ago. Before his brother made a move first, and changed the course of Tobias’ life forever.

Tobias is such a likable guy, even more so because of his low self-esteem (thinking everyone in town hates him) and how he was betrayed by his dad and brother over and over again. I can’t decide if Teddy is cute or creepy, but I still liked the guy and was rooting for him to get the girl he’s been in love with for half his life.

There is a cute “cameo” made by a popular author at the end of the book that made me smile, and the whole story is tied up in a HEA that Tobias so deserves after all that he’d wrongly been accused of.

I received an advanced copy and voluntarily left a review.
