Excerpt-
When he came back around to the front of the barn, she was sitting on top of a bale of hay, holding up a brown paper back with a grease stain on the bottom. Mooch, traitor that he was, perched at her feet, looking up at her adoringly, waiting for her to drop the bag.
“Mama sent some chicken and biscuits.”
He grunted an acknowledgment, and pulled his hat lower over his eyes so he didn't have to see the pain in hers.
She stood, setting the bag down next to her, and sauntered over to the stall where he was spreading fresh straw.
“What’s wrong?”
He couldn't think of the words to say to her. Everything that came to mind was wrong, and Brent knew that there was no way to have this conversation without hurting her. But he had to, or else he would end up hurting her worse in the long run.
As he kicked straw around the floor of the stall, he knew he was being stupid. For the last two weeks, all he’d talked about was how badly he wanted her to stay with him. And now he was about to do this…
He finally stopped when she said, “Brent. You’re scaring me. Is this about me not being able to have kids?”
“No.” Brent brushed past her to go to the feed room. Rattling the bucket brought in the mare, an enormous equine with a shaggy coat and bones showing through loose skin. She followed him into the stall, as he emptied the bucket into her feed trough, and then started pulling the injections from his pockets and preparing them silently.
When he had the first one ready, he finally got the guts to raise his head and look at Casey and deliver the brilliant line he’d spent the past ten minutes coming up with. “I need to think about some stuff.”
Her mouth dropped, and Brent lowered his head to the mare’s shoulder. While she was distracted, eating, he pinched some skin between his gloved fingers and stuck in the needle, pushing the plunger.
Brent had no idea what happened next. All he was aware of was a swift intake of breath, before he saw a wall of brown crush into him, then a jumble of whinnies, a frantic woof, a shrill scream, some clatters, then hoofs aimed at his chest, before blackness took over.
I was given this book by author for honest review. 12 years is a long time to regret. Brent has made mistakes starting with letting Casey go the first time. Casey has made some mistakes of her own. How bout they make mistakes together and this time maybe get it right. Falling in love all over again should be easy but the author had to add some extras. Enjoyed this book and this series.

Top 5 Easter Memories / Vacations
1. The Easter Dresses my Mom used to put me in.
2. The Bunny cakes my grandma used to make
3. The Easter nests we make every year.
4. Once year on Easter, my mom was put in the hospital for a bowel
blockage. We don’t typically get a lot
of snow, but it snowed that year at Easter.
Big fat honking beautiful flakes of it, the entire time she was inside
the hospital. As soon as they discharged
her, it stopped, and by the time the paperwork was finished, it had
melted. She was so pissed.
5. The first Easter I spent with my husband’s family: I was incredibly nervous, since his family is
enormous, and one of his cousins realized that I enjoyed shooting, so he and my
hubby took me out to a pasture to shoot skeet.
I guess it was the nerves, because I didn’t miss a single throw, and
outshot both men (one of them a military man), impressing his grandpa
immensely. One of my all-time favorite
memories.
