Who knew you could meet your soulmate over crushed cupcakes ???

Jackson Devlin, heir apparent to a ranching dynasty knew life had become interesting upon bumping into a young, cupcake laden Hailey in junior high. He didn't however know that he'd just met his possible future. Possible. Two kids who enjoyed taunting one another in youth, then slowly gained friendship later that eventually became much more. He was adored by all in their small town. Not for anything he did, or for who he was at his core. Nope, they all revered him because of who his father and his money/influence. Little did they know he himself held no sway, and was little more than unpaid labor. To say his father was a jerk is indeed an understatement. Hailey was the ONLY person who truly knew him as a person and cared. What happened next was an utter tragedy....but to learn what happened, you'll have to read this amazing book. I fell in love with this cast of characters, and definitely cheered on both Jackson and Hailey. I look forward to seeing what happens to each of them in future books. This is a book about childhood , young love, growing up and the MANY lessons that brings. Sometimes out of pain we're blessed with clarity and the most beautiful gifts.… (mere)

WOW! I loved the first book of this series (which you don't need to have read prior to this, but it does help) , but this was was even more packed with excitement!! Filled with an abusive father that uses any means necessary to control his sons.... There's much deception, guilt, bad memories, and hope. Can one truly change? Is redemption possible? How much can love survive? This journey was well worth every speed bump along the way, and I'm looking forward to seeing what comes next. I really loved how the women in this book have such inner strength and fire when needed. Its an amazing journey filled with pain, betrayal, healing, and many forms of love.… (mere)
