Leigh Ann Davis left town two years ago for college on the East Coast, leaving her boyfriend and family control behind, but something happened to her there. Now she's back in town, and she was hoping to resume her life in town, except she's got this big wound that never healed, and she's just facing all the reasons she left town (her family)... And all the reasons she came back (her friends). She met Knox Warner, a troubled young man with similar haunted eyes to hers and they fell for each other as she knew he's everything her family will not accept if she's to resume her life in town...
There is usually a pretty obvious "beat" in romances, which culminates in a "darkest night of the soul" (OMG there's no way they'll be together after this), then a grand gesture leading to the problem being solved and we get the happy ending. In this book, the "darkest night" moment was pretty obvious (when the FMC and MMC were separated and both his and her secrets were revealed), but the grand gesture was a bit fuzzy and there's a relatively long lead up to it that left me impatient as in "get on with it".
