For Amanda Jacobs, dealing with the pain of losing her beloved Dad is the toughest thing she's ever gone through, and it comes with a lot of complications, as well - like taking over the family business, Mountain Ridge Outdoor Adventures. It makes her miss the simplicity of being a teenager, when she was surrounded by her amazing friends, The Fabulous Four, and she was madly in love with her Dad's right hand man, Justin Barnes. His sexy smiles and deep brown eyes had made her heart race in a way she's never felt before or since. When the Fabulous Four unexpectedly show up on her doorstep to support her through this complicated time, things seem to be looking up for Amanda. But that's not the only surprise visit in store for her...Justin Barnes left Hope Falls ten years ago, in the dead of night, and didn't think he'd ever set foot there again. That was just fine with him, except for one little complication: Amanda Jacobs. He had fallen in love with her unruly blonde curls and sparkling sapphire eyes, but she had been a teenager then, five years younger than he - too young for him to act on his attraction. Still, he'd missed her every single day of those ten years. When Justin receives a phone call that his former mentor has passed away, he knows he has to return to Hope Falls. Justin just has one question - will the girl that once adored him have grown into a woman that can't stand him? Or will she still be the only thing in the world that feels like home?

There wasn't anything particularly wrong nor special about this one. It just wasn't right up my alley. I ended up skimming most of it. I do want to point out one thing that I wish authors would quit doing. Please don't write the good girls and right girls as beautiful and attractive while the wrong girl are always mean girls who wear a lot of makeup, skimpy tight clothing and throw themselves at the hero. This is a cliche that needs to die a quick death. Plus, if this "mean" girl is so awful whySweet Love StoryAmanda and Justin's love story is one that's 10 years in the making. I did enjoy it quite a bit but I would have liked to see them get together earlier in the story. I felt like the angst and sexual tension were slightly over done.
Twenty two year old Justin left Hope Falls after the 17 year old daughter of his employer and mentor threw herself at him. For ten years he couldn't get the love he felt for her out of his mind. When her father dies, Justin is called back to Hope Falls for the reading of the will. Sweet Reunion is exactly what the title says, a reunion between two people who had loved each other as children and then been separated by circumstances. Will they be able to bridge the past and come together in the
Awesome little storyAmanda's father passes away unexpectedly. Her three friends come in to be with her. On the day of the reading of the will Justin shows up. Justin left ten years ago and was never heard from again, until now. He has loved Amanda for years and she him. This story is about forgiveness, love, friends and a little sex.
Coming home againAmanda's father has just passed away, and for the reading of the will Justin, the boy she has loved all her life returns. Seems her father wanted to make amends to Justin for past mistakes, so he leaves part ownership of the family business to both Amanda and Justin. Old hurts and past mistakes haunt them both, making reconciliation between them very difficult. There were times I wanted to just climb into the book and slap them both silly. All in all, a very good book.
Amanda feels truly alone for the first time in her life. Her rock, her only real reliable support is gone. Her dad is gone. He was loved by the whole town, so loved that everyone turned up to honor him and say goodbye. Including him. Justin left 10 years ago and missed Amanda every day ever since. Now that he is back, making things right between them is going to take a heck of an apology, a lot of convincing and the will to take roots. As usual, Melanie Shawn has a way to wrap her characters
I gave this book 20% before abandoning it. Getting that far wasn't really a trial, but I just can't keep going. It's like this book is made up of platonic ideals. Amanda's father was the best man ever, a paragon, and spiritual, physical, and emotional leader of their idyllic small town. Her grief at his death will be forever and never get any less, ever. Her love for Justin is as strong now as it was ten years ago when he left their town to make his own way (she literally still thinks about him
