I knew someday I’d have the life of my dreams.
I just wasn’t prepared to lose him in return.
Growing up in small-town Mason Creek, it's hard for a girl to dream big. Since my mom was barely making ends meet, I knew moving away for college wasn’t in the cards. What I didn’t know was how singing a Miranda Lambert song while unpacking a box would change my life forever... and take me away from the only boy I ever loved.
Matthew Simms was the boy I was destined to be with. Handsome, caring, and the town’s star athlete, he was my everything…including my heartbreak. We both left Mason Creek to chase our dreams, leaving our love behind.
I never planned on coming back, but when a cruel turn of events strikes five years later, I’m shocked to come face to face with Matthew. Gone is the boy I left and in his place is a man—rugged, handsome, and strong. There’s no denying our attraction lingers in the air, yet the reasons that kept us apart all this time are still as strong as ever.
He is the man of my dreams, but I chose the life I desired in exchange.
In the back of my mind I always thought maybe someday we'd be together.
Well, someday is today.
Only now, just as everything I ever wanted is coming true, I wonder if I chose the wrong dream to chase.

My Review
I received an advanced copy of this book with the promise of an honest review.
This book is a lovely second chance romance. It's about two people chasing their dreams and the sacrifices they make to achieve them. Hannah and Matthew were high school sweethearts and the perfect couple. While they didn't exactly have their future planned out, they knew what their end game was. And that was to end up together.
When both of their career paths take a sharp turn, they lose touch, and before they know it, it is five years later and Hannah and Matthew find themselves in the same town again. Hannah returns because of a serious family issue, but thankfully for her she has an amazing support system and that included Matthew. The two of them together just made sense and I couldn't imagine them not getting back together.
This book is a sweet romance that is a bit of a slow burn. It does tackle a pretty heavy subject and it is a subject that is close to the author's heart. The author did a good job of incorporating the subject into the story line without bringing down the rest of the book, but also highlighting the seriousness at the same time.
CW: dementia, death of a parent (off page)
