Book 2 in the Sutter Lake series. I didn't connect with this one as much as book 1. I think for me it seemed a little too 'damsel in distress'? Don't get me wrong, it was a beautiful love story between Tessa and Liam. The pace was fast so the story moved quickly. It was a bit predictable, amd the epilogue pregnancy was annoying and felt gratuitous. But overall I did enjoy it and will continue the series.
