Though she has dated plenty over the years, Adrianne hasn’t found the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with. Does she just have impossibly high standards? Or is it the small voice in her head telling her that no man would really love her that keeps her from letting anyone get close enough to touch her heart? From the moment Connor Mackenzie learns that his sister Rebecca is married to Alex Thorpe, he knows his past has come back to haunt him. After over a decade of working in some of the most dangerous areas of the world, he had plans to retire so he could move closer to his sister and nephew.

Or will he be forced to reconsider where he spends his time post-retirement? At a time when she is struggling to rearrange the plans and dreams she has for her life, the last thing Adrianne needs is the person she’d loved and lost in high school stepping back into her life. Connor is grateful that Adrianne seems willing—albeit rather reluctantly—to accept his presence in her life because of Alex and Rebecca.. As he spends time around her, Connor realizes that the reason she’s lingered in his thoughts over the years isn’t just because of regretWill Adrianne be able to see the genuine regret Connor has for their past and give him a second chance to be the man he should have been the first time around? Or will her hurt blind her to the realization of her dreams and the possibility that God has plans for her and Connor?Stayed tuned for the sixth (and final!)

Given the moment of cruelty that Connor used to ruin his high school relationship with Adrianne, they approach each other with caution when brought back into each other's lives by their married siblings.(Though reviews are inherently subjective, I prefer to provide some organization to my opinions through the use of a personal rubric. The following notes may contain spoilers.)Plot and Setting: 4 -- Plot has unique elements and no major holes, but a few shaky bits and/or a slight lack of focus. I like the ideas behind the story, and it kept my interest, but the pacing (especially in Adrianne and Connor's relationship) felt a bit off. Also, Connor's whole rescue mission didn't quite work for me, and I don't feel like the flower deliveries/ Kelsey's boyfriend plots were truly resolved. Setting is clear and believable. Timeline may be a bit hard to follow. Months passing were actually much clearer than in the previous books, until the last chapter and epilogue. Conflict with the starting date: Connor was to arrive Dec 23 (book 4), but here he seems to arrive Dec 22.Characters: 5 -- Relatable, realistic, interesting, dynamic characters. Both Adrianne and Connor have been shaped by their brief high school friendship and its harsh ending more than they even realize. They each have fears and insecurities that stem from that moment, and it takes confronting that history to free them to finally move forward. Interesting tension between Connor's intentions of not hurting Adrianne further and what she's actually hoping for from him. Even minor characters have depth, as do the relationships between characters. Lots of good, complex family dynamics, and some work relationships, too.
