 My review: I'm excited to tell you about this great new book Heather B Moore! It's a great contemporary romance that I didn't want to put down!

 Alicia...I loved her character! She's a young woman who moved home to care for her mom. Her mom is dealing with a mental illness that causes her to hoard things. Her dad thinks she should leave, put her mom in some kind of home and use her marketing degree she worked so hard for. But Alicia can't stand the idea of leaving her alone, even though they are constantly fighting over her mom's hoarding tendencies. She's working at an exclusive restaurant in Pine Valley and one night who should walk in but her former best friend and crush Jeff, with an apparent model. When he doesn't appear to recognize her, she's kind of sad but willing to move on.

 Jeff...he's a successful real estate agent in Pine Valley and he definitely does recognize Alicia, but he's a bit embarrassed about how he had treated her in high school. And he's most definitely not in love with the woman he's with. And he still has a crush on Alicia. I loved how Jeff was willing to do pretty much anything for Alicia to be able to get her to forgive him and give him another chance. 

 There's a lot that happens in this book, between Alicia's mom and Jeff's ex-girlfriend...so much crazy, fun stuff in the plot. It really kept me guessing. I loved every bit of it! And there's some great kissing in this one too!

 I can't wait to read more of these Pine Valley romances! 

 I was sent a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
