GRR Reviews Winning Back His Wife (Camp Firefly Falls) by Gwen Hayes

Winning Back His Wife is a contemporary romance and a very poignant tale that is exactly described by the title, and a commentary on work-life balance as well.

Michael Tully fell for the girl in the camp 20 years ago, but he didn't go back for several years. When they both went to Dartmouth as they promised, it's love rekindled, and he married her. But more than a decade later, she's serving him divorce papers and sank every penny she had into buying and revitalizing Camp Firefly Falls. He knew he had put his career in his family company first, and neglected her. He also couldn't understand her choice. But facing the prospect of living without her, he's determined to do what's right... to win back his wife.

The story was extremely angst-y as she couldn't quite explain why she wanted the camp until you get further into the flashbacks, and it came to symbolize what drove them apart, but also what brought them together, and can do so again. I enjoyed the emotional push-pull between the two.
