Evelyn finds a second chance at love when her cousin sets her up with a friend's ex. Neither of them are strangers to a relationship not working out, but little does Evie know that Eric is all in with her. His work schedule keeps him more than busy, and Evie doesn't want to come second to a job again. He makes all the right moves by requesting time off to take her and their dogs on a camping trip. Dropping hints about their future, Evie learns Eric's very familiar with her... from her favorite books to her travel blog to her likes and dislikes. He uses everything he knows to become the best partner for her, even if he conveniently forgot the graham crackers for their s'mores. 

Okay, so Eric was a total left-field bullseye. He's a golden retriever on the outside, but does he know how to jump straight to the punch or what? Man's got an uncanny set of skills, knot-tying and dirty-talking, amongst others. Absolute book husband end goal material. Evie is still the sunshine girl from her first story, but she's set on trying to find her place in the world again as a single and stationary woman. Although she wasn't looking for anything serious, Eric was determined to win her over no matter what. Their supportive family and friends were icing on the cake. And that ending was just too perfect. I loved everything about this story, and Evie's journey from broken to healed was true strength.
