💜Review💜 Savannah left town a decade earlier with no explanation or further contact with her best friend Hayes. She has now returned to settle her grandfather’s estate however it will be more difficult than she thought when it requires her to be married. Needing a husband, she is conflicted about what to do especially once Hayes offers to do the deed as there was a reason she left years earlier.
Hayes isn’t sure what happened with Savannah as he feels like she abandoned him and she feels wronged by him as well. Seeing each other again will force them to face not only the past but the feelings between them that neither has acknowledged especially when they find themselves sharing live as a married couple.
Despite the time and emotional and physical distance between them Savannah and Hayes have always belonged together even if they allowed outside forces to come between them. She fits back in his life she has always been there and the same goes for the other characters in this series who play such an important part in each others lives.

I was content with being a bachelor, never planned on settling down. Why would I, when every woman in my life, starting with my own mother, always walked out and never looked back.
I liked my strict Army life—all I needed after my deployment was a vacation and time with my dad.
Then it all changed…
One beautiful songwriter.
One chance meeting.
One last first kiss.
One smile.
Her smile.
That was all it took to captivate me and send my world spinning on its axis. After that, I knew I’d never be the same.
Peyton has not had the best of luck when it comes to the women in his life, so he is content with his military career, his family, and his friends. When he meets Stacey, she inspires feelings in him that he has never felt before and seeing her only leaves him wanting more.
Music is a large part of Stacey’s life and she believed she was content with her life until she met Peyton. The romance between them is heartwarming as they realize how special what they share is.
The depth of the feelings between them or the fact that they were what the other was missing in their lives was never in question.

The couch was large, but so was Cole. He took up so much space that we were always sort of touching.
And I loved it. The comfort of his proximity helped push aside all the bullshit of the day.
Eventually, I leaned into him, my body sagging against his.
As I read, I soaked up his warmth and let his strength anchor me.
He knit, a peacefulness settling over my little cabin. Our little cabin—what was mine was now his, after all.
As my eyes drooped, I knew I’d be paying for staying up too late if I didn’t get to sleep.
“I need to go to bed.” I stood and stretched wide.
As I turned, ready to head down the hall, he caught my hand, garnering my attention.
Even sitting, he was almost at my eye level. Slowly, he turned my wrist. Then he angled closer and gently pressed his lips to my pulse point.
I couldn’t breathe; I couldn’t speak. That simple gesture had my entire body screaming with pent-up desire.
He looked up at me, his lips inches from my skin, his dark eyes molten.
The look sent a shiver down my spine.
People tended to underestimate Cole, write him off as unserious or a clown.
But he possessed this intensity, this focus. And the closer we got, the more I saw of it.
My skin was on fire where his rough fingers touched me, and my insides were heating up too. I swore a primal need flashed in his eyes, causing my breath to hitch as I struggled to understand the sensations pummeling me from such minimal contact.
As quickly as desire hit, panic replaced it. Why was he holding my hand and looking at me like that? This was wrong. But was it? A wrist kiss was hardly a display of desire. Though with the way he watched me, it certainly felt like it was. The feel of his lips on my skin was not something I’d ever forget. Never mind the fire in his eyes.
“Emmersyn,” I greet her, my voice coming out gruffer than I intended.
“Caleb,” she responds, her lips curving into a slight, almost challenging smile. The years might have changed us both, but the chemistry—that electric pull between us—is still very much alive.
When I agreed to marry her, I didn’t think about anything beyond what she was offering. If I’d taken a minute to really consider what I was getting myself into . . . well, things might have turned out differently. We didn’t marry for love. There wasn’t even any physical attraction—at least, that’s what I told myself. It was just convenient at the time. But convenience screwed me over in more ways than I care to count. That’s not going to happen again. Not this time.
Why did it screw me over? Because as soon as we were married, I realized the chemistry between us was explosive. We were like two volatile elements, and when combined, we didn’t just ignite—we detonated. Sometimes, the explosion was vibrant and thrilling, like when we kissed. Those kisses . . . they weren’t just sparks. They were all-consuming, the kind that left me breathless and wanting more, even when I knew better. Other times, the explosion was more like a nuclear meltdown, especially when we couldn’t see eye to eye. Our fights? They were legendary, the kind that left destruction in their wake.
Ethan, sensing the charged atmosphere, gives me a nod. “I’ll leave you two to it,” he says, but not before adding with a smirk, “The box of condoms is in the bathroom.”
