Nolan Ramsey thinks he wants to be alone. He leaves his life in the city, leaves his job as a news reporter, and buys a house in the middle of nowhere. He plans a life of complete isolation with just his dog, Scuba, for company.
Calinda Willow returns home to help her aging father at the end of his life. She copes with the loss by throwing herself into her work, rejects social invitations from her friend, Jackie, and thinks she is content with her solitary life.
I enjoyed this book, however, I did feel it was a bit long and drawn-out. The story itself was a sweet romance that was set in a very small town with a slower pace of life--- translating into the slower story. The narrator did a wonderful job with the voices and overall acting and narrating and was a pleasure to listen to.
I was given this free review copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.
I like this authors writing style and her characters but I became frustrated with the ad naseum angst. The dog was the best communicator. Could have been edited to great effect.
