GRR Reviews Love in a Small Town (Pine Harbour) by Zoe York

Love in a Small Town has nice push-pull between a former couple, but the ending was trope that relied on a crisis to prompt a change of heart.

Rafe and Olivia were married... emphasis on WERE. It's been two years since their divorce. He's a cop and national guard. Being a husband is third on his priorities, and she can't stand it anymore. But being a waitress in the cafe in town means she has to serve him every morning, and that just hurts... every day. // Rafe knew Olivia was the one for him, but they may have married too young... he thought he did the right thing: letting her go when he wasn't what she needed. He really wanted her back... But does she want him back?

Awww, nice push-pull between the couple. The only problem was it took a crisis to change their minds, like a disaster or major injury. As he's a cop, it's standard plot that he gets shot and both he and she had an epiphany that life's too short. And that just felt "meh".

Primary Plot: The cop and the waitress were once married, but because he can't put her first, he let her go, but they're not over each other
