I finished this book in less than 24 hours. Ive gotta say, I was hooked right at beginning and couldn't stop. I love all of Jamie McGuire's books. I can't get enough of them. this one was no different. Fayln did get really frustrating sometimes, but it's her personality I guess. it was great to see the rest of the family together and the ladies interact with each other. the final pages had me rushing through to the bittersweet, sweepingly romantic ending. 5 stars

Falyn Fairchild can walk away from anything. Having already left her car, her education, and even her parents, the daughter of the next governor of Colorado is back in her hometown, broke and waiting tables for the Bucksaw Café. After every shift, Falyn adds to her shoebox of cash, hoping to one day save enough to buy her a plane ticket to the only place she can find forgiveness: Eakins, Illinois.
The moment Taylor Maddox is seated in Falyn’s section at the Bucksaw, she knows he’s trouble. Taylor is charming, breaks promises, and gorgeous even when covered in filth—making him everything Falyn believes a hotshot firefighter to be. Falyn isn’t interested in becoming another statistic, and for a Maddox boy, a disinterested girl is the ultimate challenge.
Once Falyn learns where Taylor calls home, everything changes. In the end, Maddox persistence is met with Falyn’s talent for leaving, and for the first time, Taylor may be the one to get burned.

Nononono, solo no, me dolió.
Este libro empezó muy bien, me gustaba la relación de los personajes aunque algunas veces me frustraran.
Lo que me arruino el libro fue el hecho de después de una llamada junto Falyn, Taylor deje embarazada a otra chica. De verdad me dolió mucho, me sentí traicionada y sí, borraría esa escena si fuera posible.
Entiendo porque luego decidieron seguir junto, pero no comparto esa idea, solo no.

“I think you’re just being hostile because you think I’m trying to bag you, and clearly, I’m not capable of taming the shrew in this story. So, lets turn the volume up on Aliens, so we can’t hear that piece-of-shit washer of yours and hang out.”
Falyn Fairchild has a secret. It’s a secret that causes her to isolate herself from everyone. She wants nothing to do with her parents and will do anything to get to Illinois. She thinks she is on the right track until a Maddox brother walks into the diner.
I loved this book even more than I did Beautiful Disaster. I loved this book so much on so many different levels. I like that it combined everyone’s stories in on way or another. I love that it emotionally destroyed me. Absolutely destroyed me. I couldn’t put this book down. I went without much needed sleep to finish this book. I don’t regret it for an instant. With this story, my mind is all over the place. I cannot seem to keep my thoughts coherent and consistent.
I did find the ending a little predictable though. I can’t say too much without giving it away but I guessed pretty much exactly how it would end. In saying that, obviously it doesn’t mar my thoughts too much because I still give the book five stars.
I can see why Jamie McGuire is so popular. Her writing draws you in and you can barely get out. The series is addictive and yes the books do run sort of the same but it is well worth it.
My recommendation: If you need to cry, this is the book for you.
I borrowed this paperback from my local library.

I LOVE these books. And that's saying something since I can't stand romance books. What I like about these books is that McGuire focuses on the relationship and the little things, not so much love and other such things. But I definitely do feel the books are a bit rushed.
This book, however, is possibly the most balanced in this series so far. It wasn't nearly as rushed as Trent's and Thomas's stories (that's not saying that I don't love those books). This book also struck a chord in me. I related to it on many levels, not necessarily the main plot (will not say, because spoilers) but Falyn's trials in general.
This book is heartbreaking but soul capturing. I truly enjoyed this book, and I'm looking forward to completing the series, but I don't want it to end at the same time.
5 stars
