Talulah has returned to her hometown of Coyote Canyon to empty out her great aunt's house and hold her funeral. She is also going to have to face her ex-fiance Charlie, whom she left at the altar. She currently runs a successful dessert cafe in Seattle with her business partner Paul, who has wanted to date her for 4 years. Talulah runs into Charlie's best friend (and her former nemesis) Brant, and one thing leads to another and they connect. It definitely sets tongues wagging in her small town, especially since Charlie isn't over Talulah- even though it's been 14 years. Now not only is everyone in Charlie's family mad at her, but the whole town is thinking that she will break Brant's heart too.
Talulah's character is actually pretty nice- even though she does make several questionable decisions. Brant is a total sweetheart. But Charlie and his family? Awful. Come on- it's been 14 years. Time to drop it. Also- Talulah's business partner from Seattle was a total creep. So I liked some parts of the story, while others got a bit grating. I may read the next book in the series at some point, but I will probably wait a bit.

Usually I really enjoy a small town romance for the sense of community, connection, and how neighbors care for each other. Unfortunately this small town was made up of mean people who are angry after fourteen years about "the runaway bride." Talulah comes back to her hometown to handle her deceased aunt's estate and falls in love with the hunky rancher who was friends with her former groom. Compications ensue because the town assumes she will ditch Brant just like she did Charlie and because she has tough decisions to make about her city life in Seattle. Not poorly written, just no characters I could like very much.
