I loved the characters in this story. Those of us who have been reading the entire brilliant Cattle Valley series finally find out why Carol has been so 'bitchy' as we learn more about her past. George turns out to be desperately in love with a man who has put his career first for 19 years. When George finally makes a decision to put that behind him and build a life with Carol, the woman he has come to love, it forces Trip, a famous country singer, to re-evaluate his life as well.

I loved the way Carol turns out to be the katalyst George and Trip need to figure out that they do belong together. The development of this triangle is at times nerve-wracking until the characters 'get it', but I was cheering them along the whole way. What a great book! ( )
