Publisher's summary

Willa Doon has always been shy. Her quiet demeanor was something she's always embraced. That is until Jackson Page moves to town. The one man she desperately wants to take notice struggles to remember her name.

Year after year, Willa stands by, watching as the bartender/playboy drowns his demons in beer and sex. Then one night, he shows up at her door, suddenly aware that the girl he's seen around Lark Cove is now a beautiful woman.

Except what he doesn't remember is that this visit isn't his first. They spent a night together once before. A night he's forgotten, thanks to a bottle of tequila.

A night that crushed a timid girl's heart and set a broken man on the path to heal them both.

Oh Jackson...my heart hurt for this man. His past was not easy and finally noticing Willa is exactly what he needed. This book will surely have you in all your feels.

Perfect Narration 🙌🏻

Really enjoyable listen!

I’m a big fan of Devney Perry. I think a big part of that is that her characters are so likable. I want to know what is going to happen to each of them. I want to hear about their adventures and how they fell in love and built a relationship.

This book is one of my favorites by her. Willa is a shy girl with a crush on a man who doesn’t know she exists. Jackson is a man with a difficult past. I enjoyed hearing about their relationship with each other and with each characters family. I like that this is not an insta-love, relationship built on physical attraction romance. I really appreciate the depth of the relationship, including all of the struggles. There is even a bit of mystery and adventure to add to the story.

Narration is great! Highly recommend!!

Timid

I adored Maxine Mitchell and Aaron Shedlock they're just so perfect together as a duo, maybe a duet would have been better but it was so good to hear them.

GAH!!!

I absolutely loved this book!!!
Willa has loved Jackson since she was a teenager and one night he kisses her....but he forgot it happened!!
In most books there is usually so much push and pill, that it eventually becomes annoying!! Not this book. Willa is not a doormat, nor is she whiney and indecisive. Jackson comes off as a jerk, but it doesn't last and you can't hell but love him. Maxine Mitchell (whom I do not love) was awesome in this book, and Aaron Shedlock, well there are no words for his awesomeness! Everyone should read this!!!

Awww, Willa and Jackson!

Fantastic story of love and overcoming trauma with some deep themes regarding absentee, abusive parenting. Willa and Jackson could not have come from more opposite parenting backgrounds and it is the basis of a majority of their turmoil. There were some deeply emotional moments of “loving him through it” and others of standing your ground. Excellent !

A quiet but strong heroine fighting for her man.

Ah it was so nice being back in Lark Cove. This community is just lovely and Devney’s writing has a little of everything. Some romance, some angst, some suspense and some spice. Willa is the shy introvert who has been crushing on Jackson since she was 17. He finally notices her then promptly forgets their kiss. But Willa is such a gentle forgiving soul and eventually Jackson wins his way back into her life only to spook at the feelings he’s feeling. They aren’t like your typical romance couple who fight their way back to each other, Willa simply fights for Jackson. She won’t let him go and is in his corner 100%. With some surprising turns we are treated to a little suspense, which I love, and of course some dee-licious spice.

Maxine consistently delivers. Her performances are well-rounded, honest and authentic. I just knew Willa by the end of this book, her inner strength, her steely determination, and her humble, self-deprecating manner. Offset Maxine’s performance with Aaron’s and you’re onto a winner. Aaron gives us the man who just doesn’t believe he can love or deserves another's love. We feel his pain and that’s testament to Aaron’s performance.

This combination of narrators and author delivered the goods.
