About this listen
Kara Martinson always thought her high school crush was out of her league, but they did share one night she's never been able to forget. Nearly three decades after being disowned by her parents and forced to raise her son on her own, Kara's made it - her art is being toasted at a gallery opening. Even better, she and her son are finally on stable ground. Until Mr. One-Night Stand himself crashes her party.
Harry Canton always knew Kara would make it as an artist. Almost 30 years after high school, he still considers her the one that got away. But the surprise reunion doesn't quite go to plan when Harry discovers he left her with more than just memories when he went away to college. Desperate to connect with the family he never knew existed, Harry convinces his son to move cross country for a fresh start with his father - and pleads with Kara to come home, too.
Kara hasn't stepped foot in their hometown since the day she was sent away. But her son desperately wants the father he never had and denying him that may cost her everything. Can love heal old heartaches so Harry and Kara can have a second chance at the future they were robbed of so long ago? Or will the pain of the past be too much to face?

Lovely story
I struggled with how hard i seem to forgive these people who were young when they were lied to and changed the trajectory of their lives. A good example of how to forgive and how complex life can be when it comes to how we approach forgiveness.

Lots Of Potential But Missed The Mark
I was immediately drawn into the story and the characters were interesting. However, I got whiplash from the abrupt ups and downs of the characters emotions and behaviors! The characters needed more depth to feel like real people, and that prevented me from being fully emotionally involved. I wanted to give this book a four star rating but it became a little too repetitive throughout the book. Overall, it was a sweet story with a couple hot scenes. I’d be willing to listen to more by Marci Bolden, but only when the book are on sale.
Emily Sutton-Smith was brilliant with the delivery of the story
