About the book: Caroline Sweeney has always done the right thing - the responsible, dependable thing - unlike her mother who abandoned her family. But when her best friend challenges her to accept an exciting job adventure in Barcelona, Spain, Caroline says “yes” to a new destiny.
Then, without warning, ownership of the run-down café where she’s been waitressing falls right into Caroline’s lap. While she’s trying to determine the cafe’s future, handsome Deputy Sheriff J.D. Rand captures Caroline’s heart.
But when her frist love, Mitch O’Neal, comes back to town, fresh from the heat of his newly-found fame as a country music singer in Nashville, Caroline must make some hard choices about love and the pursuit of the sweet life.
My review: Cute story! I went to university in South Carolina so it was fun to read the southern words and phrases, town names, and unique culture that she sprinkles throughout the book. The characters are nicely developed. In fact, I was happy to see that there are more books from Rachel based on some of the other characters in this book. The main character is great, but maybe a little too perfect. I’m in a phase right now where I like the characters to be flawed - maybe looking for some empathy out there! But she is darling and likeable. The ending is a bit unexpected and makes you wish the story went on just a bit longer. Now that’s the way to end a book!

This sounds really good a deputy and a old flame returning. Makes you want to read it just to find out what she chooses!
