Chelsea came to Cedar Springs for one thing - to get to know her older stepbrothers. When she & her sister found out their father had another family, they were able to become friends with the younger brothers who were close to their age. The older ones held themselves aloof. The visit was only supposed temporary while she decided what she was doing next. Instead, she finds herself drawn to two different men. Does she go with steady, dependable Scott with his local sandwich shop or exciting world traveler Lucas & his job in his family's construction company? Everyone thinks they know which one is best for her but which one does she chose? Scott & Lucas end up going head to head regarding vandalism on the construction site & regarding Chelsea.

I enjoy visiting Cedar Springs & revisiting the friends from other books. Each book can be read as a stand alone but the author does a great job keeping characters, settings & feelings consistent from one book to the next. The characters are well developed & realistic. The plot had some unexpected twists that kept the interest high. Due to something in her past, I was surprised by some of Chelsea's actions & felt that could have been dwelled into more. That's the only reason I have for not giving the book 5 stars. However, that is my personal opinion & takes nothing away from the way the author dealt with it. Another good read by Ms. Aitken. ( )
