4.5 Stars

I’ve adored all the titles in The Country Road series, and eagerly awaited Landon’s story.  Anyone who is familiar with the series, will recognize that we briefly met Addison Sinclair, in Champagne and Forever. 

This is a sweet, steamy, and heartfelt read with strong themes of family , friendship and love, added with a touch of humor sprinkled throughout.  

Addison is a divorcee, single parent to a teenage son.  Her ex is pretty much an absentee father, which added with hormones, and a bad attitude, makes for a very rebellious teen.  At her wit’s end and feeling like Mason needs a positive role model, she moves to Lexington to be near her younger brother Taylor.  Addy has insecurities and baggage galore and despite her intense connection and attraction to Landon she stresses about starting a relationship.  I loved how her character evolved and grew over the course of this title. 

Landon is the last man standing in his group of friends.  He want to find his happy ever after, and have a family of his own, but he doesn’t want to settle.    He’s such a loveable character with a huge heart.  He’s hard working, sweet, protective, kind and caring.  I absolutely adored the bond he formed with Mason and the trust they shared. 

The characters are complex, yet endearing, realistic and relatable.  As I’ve come to expect this title is well written, fun, and has a touch of drama.   I will be eagerly awaiting Taylor’s story next, and I’m glad that we haven’t quite seen the end of these characters yet.
