Recipe for Love
This to me is a light read/listen easy to follow plot but there was a comedy of errors. Savannah after a tragic accident she lost her parents and she moved away from home thinking she was the worst person around and she finds herself on her way to a wedding between her ex husband and another loosely close family connection. She finds herself being stopped by the sheriff and the attraction between them is strong they almost feel like they already know each other. There is a big town event which means the town is on lockdown and which means she would not make the wedding. She tries to put the sheriff out of her mind but even though there is attraction she is a reporter and she penned out an article about him she later regrets. There are lots of misunderstandings and they have a big bust up and he reminds her that she has run away from her whole life. Savannah goes back to her hometown and starts mending fences and She soon realises how much of the hurt and pain she was feeling was more about how she felt about herself. She decides to take a leap of faith and makes some changes, the missing part of her life is the man she hurt and we find out if they finally get back together.
