Buckeye Falls #3
Falling Again
Welcome back to Buckeye Falls, Ohio!
Does this small town mayor have the political savvy to negotiate his way back into his wife’s heart?
From the outside, Mayor Anthony Snyder and his wife Natalie have it all. Adorable children, a lovely home, and a never-ending supply of free food from the local diner. But behind closed doors, this duo struggles to stay connected. The sparkle they show Buckeye Falls has turned a little dull on the home front.
Over the last decade, things became hectic in the Snyder household. Anthony was elected to office, following in his father’s footsteps. Unfortunately, he’s reminded regularly that these are big shoes to fill. Being the best mayor takes a lot of time—time he’s not spending with his family.
Natalie prides herself on being everything to everyone, but the job of a wife hasn’t been smooth sailing. Wrapped up in her own growing business and their kids’ activities, her time with Anthony has dwindled faster than her secret stash of Halloween candy. Natalie longs for quality time with the man she loves, but it never seems to be in the cards.
A chance to visit their family lake house promises a week away from it all, but can these two reconnect when there’s no distractions? Or is it time for these high achievers to admit that love might be the one thing they can’t master?
With a little help from the residents of Buckeye Falls, this power couple will find their way back to happily ever after.
Falling Again is the third book in the Buckeye Falls series, but it can be enjoyed as a standalone read. Featuring similar marriage conflicts as in Lyssa Kay Adams’ The Bromance Book Club and the small-town romance of Susan Mallery’s Fool’s Gold series, fans will love this second chance love story. After all, who doesn’t deserve to fall in love again?

This was a sweet and thoughtful book that took us many places. Anthony and Natalie had their life in a political spotlight and their life behind doors. They were married and very much in love, but every day demands begin to truly run their existence. Love, angst, drama, miscommunication and their constant of being 2 ships in the night out a strain on the couple. As we follow their life we see the ups and downs the good and bad, and the reason why they make a great couple.

Here I am, back for another visit to Buckeye Falls, Ohio in book number three. Falling Again is a fun, stand-alone, although I do recommend reading the series in order as some of the characters/previous stories overlap, novel concerning the Mayor of Buckeye Falls, and his wife, Natalie, who seem to have it all on the outside but are really struggling on staying connected with each other with all of the stressors of life, work, parenting, etc, they are drifting apart as much as they try to fight it. Will Anthony and Natalie be able to find their way back together again? Libby Kay’s novels are fun, descriptive books that make you laugh, fuss, get a little teary eyed, and have everything people look for in a rom-com. I’ve really enjoyed this series so far and the happy endings are always great!

Falling Again is the third instalment in the wonderful Buckeye Falls series. This is a sweet small-town second chance romance. It is full of characters that you just can’t help but fall in love with. They are fun, nosy, sassy, sweet, colourful and so much more. Each book can be read as a standalone, but the characters of Buckeye Falls intertwine through each book.
Natalie has it all but the one thing she needs has drifted. Can she find her way back and repair things, or will she lose it all?
Anthony has a job he loves but he wants one thing more. Will he get what he wants or is it too late?
When the town decides to rally together to help this couple the fun begins.
If you love small town romances the Falling again is the perfect escape for a bit of R&R.

Such a wonderful series so far!! I can't wait to read more of it!! This is book 3 to the Buckeye Falls Series and boy oh boy are you in for it with this one! I cried a couple times for these characters. Anthony and Natalie have the picture perfect life and family. He's the Mayor of Buckeye Falls and she runs her own event planning company with one of her best friends. Life is perfect. Or is it? From the outside everything seems great, but on the inside the couple isn't doing well. Between two full time jobs, two kids, and everything in between work and home they've been drifting apart. Between Anthony trying to fill the big shoes of his father (the last mayor) and Natalie trying to be everything for everyone, the two of them lead very crazy lives and schedules. Both feel guilt of not doing better. Not being better. But can the couple come together and work things out? Or is this the end of their seemingly perfect relationship? When Anthony's father asks the couple to pack up, clean, and get the family lake house ready for sale the couple jumps at the chance for a week away from everything. With the kids safely with their aunt with grandma there for backup, the two take off. Can the two put work and life away for a week and work things out while they pack? Or will this week away confirm their fears of growing apart in life. I won't give anything away, but let me tell you that this couple has some ups and downs in this book. Sometimes over simple things that make you want to smack them both and lock them in a room until they work stuff out. Such a wonderful book that had me crying and thinking about some of my own relationships with family and friends. Check this sweet romance out! You CAN read this book as a stand alone, but I wouldn't recommend it. The previous two books introduce you to the town and many of the characters that you will see in this book. So personally I would say read all three in order for a better reading experience with this series.

Falling Again is Book Three in the Buckeye Falls series. This book can easily be read as a standalone, but I do recommend reading the first two books because the characters all intertwine with one another throughout the series. This second chance romance story centers around the characters of Natalie and her husband Anthony.
Anthony and Natalie Snyder’s lives may seem perfect to outsiders, but they struggle to find time to be together because their lives have become too busy. Anthony is consumed by his job as Mayor and the challenges he faces trying to follow in his father’s footsteps. Natalie is overwhelmed with running her business, juggling motherhood, and trying to be everything to everyone all at the same time. When they finally get a chance to go away for some time alone will it be too late to rekindle their romance and save their marriage?
The author did a beautiful job of writing a story about the challenges of juggling both work and family while finding time as a couple. This is a universal issue that many married couples struggle with and not all marriages are able to overcome these struggles. Adding in small town gossip and the challenges of everyone knowing your business before you do added an extra layer of stress and tension. Although the topic seems heavy the author kept the story light, and it was a fun, enjoyable read. The characters of Natalie and Anthony were wonderful, well written, lovable, and relatable. I especially loved the character of Natalie and felt a connection with her as she struggled a bit with her confidence and self-esteem after having children. It was easy to root for this couple as they worked through their struggles. Natalie and Anthony’s story was full of drama, tension, stress, angst, gossip, self-esteem issues, and the delicate balancing act of work, family, and marriage.

Falling Again by @libbykayauthor tells the story of Anthony and Natalie Snyder, the town mayor and his business entrepreneur wife who are starting to struggle 10 years into their marriage due to the stress that comes with raising two children under the age of 5, both parents having full-time jobs, running an entire town, and dealing with crazy Snyder family dynamics. This second-chance romance tells the story of a husband and wife both struggling to reconnect with their past versions of themselves to become the husband/wife they believe their spouse truly needs.
The emotions between the characters run raw and there are many heavy-tension scenes where they struggle to find the passion and spark that made them get married and start a family together in the first place. Then comes a magical week at Anthony's family's lake house where Natalie and Anthony have some much-needed time alone away from Buckeye Falls, their children, and their responsibilities for a major opportunity to reconcile and reconnect. Natalie and Anthony are two very type-A individuals who need something to be placed on a list in order to make time for it, so they jokingly said they would put "fixing their marriage on that list", only to realize that if their marriage has to be placed on a list in order to be a priority that it probably isn't worth putting in the effort at all. Through their week-long getaway, Anthony and Natalie re-learn how to communicate and come back to Buckeye Falls as a stronger, united front who are passionate about their life and marriage together with a plan to make family time the center of their lives again. Once again, a solid ⭐⭐⭐⭐ read for me and one that taught me as still a relative newlywed what I never want to have to save my relationship from with my husband when we decide to have children.

I'm absolutely thrilled to be diving into the enchanting world of Buckeye Falls once again with "Falling Again: A Buckeye Falls Novel" by the incredibly talented Libby Kay. One of the things I appreciate most about this series is that each book can be enjoyed as a standalone, making it accessible for all readers. In this third installment, I was utterly captivated by the endearing characters of Natalie and Anthony. This story, in particular, tugged at my heartstrings and evoked a rollercoaster of emotions. I laughed, I shed a few tears, and I couldn't bear to part with their story. Kay's portrayal of small-town life adds a delightful charm to the narrative, and the various characters passing through Buckeye Falls only enhance the experience.
What makes "Falling Again" truly exceptional is its depiction of a heartwarming second-chance romance. The connection between Anthony and Natalie lingers in my thoughts, and I can't help but feel that their story will stay with me for quite some time. Libby Kay's storytelling is a breath of fresh air, and I'm eagerly looking forward to more of her work. Her ability to craft a real and relatable portrayal of marriage is a rare find, offering readers a truly unique and engaging reading experience. I wholeheartedly recommend "Falling Again" to anyone seeking a captivating and emotionally charged narrative that leaves a lasting impression. Kudos to the author for creating a story that both celebrates the complexities of real-life relationships and offers a welcome escape into the world of Buckeye Falls.

I have really enjoyed reading books written in the same setting, but focus on different characters and plot lines. This is the third book in the Buckeye Falls series and it follows the town’s mayor, Anthony Snyder, and his wife Natalie. They have gotten really busy, he is the mayor of the town and she just started her own company. They also have two adorable kids, Maddie and Otis, who are 5 years old and younger. They have full time jobs, full lives, and have forgotten to take time for each other. They are both really worried that they have ruined their relationship and both really want to fix it. What they don’t have is time for each other and effective communication. Anthony’s parents want to send them to their summer lake house for a week to pack it up so they can put it on the market. Anthony and Natalie are both hoping to rekindle the flame during this week away from distractions, but they don’t know how. Anthony turns to those closest to him: his sister, Alice, and his friend Max, and his secretary, Trudy, to ask for help and ideas. Natalie has a hard time opening up, but finally talks to her two friends, Cece and Ginny (the main characters of the first two books). This book and the events were very realistic and I was rooting for them and yelling at them to just talk to each other. I laughed throughout this one and was excited to see another book in the series coming soon!

Falling Again is book 3 in the Buckeye Falls series and I love all the books in this series, this book is my favorite. The story really hit home a bit......the struggle of two people who are in love, raising a family and balancing full time careers....and not trying to lose each other in the process.....
Natalie and Anthony have this perfection as a married couple going, or you think they do. Behind closed doors, Natalie and Anthony struggle to keep connected to each other and also with work/life balance. Juggling 2 small children...Natalie building her new business and Anthony as mayor of Buckeye Falls....it is a struggle. When Anthony's parents ask Natalie and Anthony to go to the lakehouse to clean it out to place it up for sale, this gives them the opportunity to reconnect what was lost. Mix in Anthony's sister showing up causing chaos, Natalie and Anthony take a break from it all and go all in to pack up the lakehouse and reconnect.
Will Natalie and Anthony come back to each other and get back to being with each other as a priority?
This is a wonderful story, I absolutely could not put this book down. This gave me all the feels of the small town of Buckeye Falls along with second chance romance, love, friendship, secrets and some sugar. I am already looking forward to book 4!!

Falling Again is the third book in the Buckeye Falls series. Each story can be read as a standalone, focusing on a different couple, but the same characters are in all of the books so it’s good to read the series in order to see them develop and avoid spoilers!
Anthony and Nathalie really need to work on their relationship. With plenty of other urgent commitments and emergency situations coming from work, the kids, and their extended families, they’re struggling to make time for each other. Occasional romantic moments are undermined by a myriad of distractions and it’s clear to both of them, and seemingly half of the town, that something has to change.
This is an enjoyable and fun read! I like that this series focuses on different kinds of relationships - reinvigorating an old relationship can be just as romantic as starting a new one! The kids, Maddie and Otis, are great and add a lot of playfulness (and glitter!) to the story.
Although she’s not the focus of this story, CeCe and her amazing baked treats are back and feature prominently enough that I would recommend having some snacks available as you read this book! It gets five stars from me.

I can't explain how i feel toward this book. I think this book is more intense because the situation is sooo much stressing 😌. Being a Natalie isn't easy. A wife of Buckey Falls Mayor, a boss, a mother. Their marriage has been in a rough path after Otis was born and Anthony becoming a mayor, they were just doing their daily routine, working their ass off and children became their priority. Both of them longing the moment where they always look like a newly married couple, happy and enjoying everything. Now those little time is gone, Anthony and Natalie are going to fix it and bring back those times.
I enjoyed this book, i finished it on one day, and the way they fix their problem was everything what i want it to be even though there is a little misunderstanding moment towards the end of the book. I also love Anthony for his effort, not just to be a good husband and father but to be a good brother for his sister. I'm not a fan of Alice but i love seeing her character development.
If marriage in trouble is your cup of tea, this book is definitely for you ❤

Falling Again (Buckeye Falls Book 3) by Libby Kay is a great romance
Mayor Anthony Snyder and his wife Natalie appear to have it all from the outside. Cute kids, a beautiful house, and an endless supply of free food from the neighborhood cafe. But these two find it difficult to stay in touch behind closed doors. On the home front, the shine they once displayed in Buckeye Falls has somewhat faded.Things in the Snyder home become chaotic throughout the past ten years. Anthony followed in his father's footsteps and was elected to office. Regretfully, he is frequently reminded that these are significant shoes to fill. It takes a lot of time to be the best mayor, time he doesn't get to spend with his family.Although it never seems to be in the cards, Natalie yearns for meaningful time with the guy she loves.
Every page had you hanging on every sentence and I couldn’t wait to see what would happen. It is a very unique story with even compelling people. The story really transports you into this world. I couldn’t put the book down.I can’t wait to read more from this series.

I've read the books back to back, and this is my favorite so far! This surprised me a little bit; we are introduced to the main characters (Mayor Anthony Snyder and his beautiful wife, Natalie), and they didn't wow me. In fact, Mayor Snyder is a bit of a punk in the first book, and one is left wondering what the heck Natalie is doing married to him. But, with this book from their joint perspectives, the jerkiness that Mayor Snyder initially presents himself with wears away and as a parent myself, I found myself relating more and more to the balance Anthony and Natalie are trying to find. Having busy professional lives and two young children is NOT easy, and when you're the mayor of a town, I imagine that pressure is even higher. Add in an overbearing father and somewhat obnoxious, assuming younger sister, it's a recipe for disaster.
I loved how Natalie and Anthony navigated their relationship, and especially loved the ancillary character support throughout the story (bringing back in Ginny/Max and Cece/Evan). Great friendships and the cozy romance trope is perfect!

I so enjoyed this one. Natalie and Anthony’s story is so flipping relatable. Trying to balance work, parenthood and marriage is so hard. Family and life an a small town where everyone knows your business doesn’t help. It was so fun to see familiar faces from previous books. Alice is like a spoiled brat. The end tickled me and I can’t wait to read her story.
Anthony just wants to have his wife back and is trying so hard to make things right. You feel for him. Trudy is just an older woman set in her ways and he happens to be blessed with her as his secretary. Good or bad, she’s just trying to help him. Natalie just misses her husband and thinks she’s changed too much. These two are going through struggles we are all going through. I laughed so much reading this and rooted for them.
So well-written with lovable characters. This town is one I would love to live in. So much fun, even with gossips. This is a must-read series. I would give it a higher rating if I were allowed to.

Natalie and Anthony Snyder have been married for 10 years, but have recently started to struggle in a way that they never have before. Natalie and her best friend, Ginny, have recently started their event planning business. Anthony is now on his second term as mayor of Buckeye Falls. The couple also now has two kids, a 5 year old and a 2 year old. Between all of the different demands on their time, Natalie and Anthony have lost each other and have both started to feel like they are drifting apart and are unsure of how to fix the problem, though they both know they want to fix it and save their marriage. When Natalie and Anthony are given the opportunity to spend a week alone, helping to pack up his parents’ lake house, they are finally able to reconnect and really talk through what they feel and want. This is a great book, the 3rd in this series. It can be read as a standalone book, but I truly doubt that you will want to once you start.

This is the third book in the Buckeye Falls series. The books in this series can be read out of order as they are able to be read as standalones.
This is an easy read, written in a way that is engaging and flows well. The characters are also well-written and likeable. I found the premise of the story unique and entertaining, rather than a brand-new romance, it’s about trying to save the love they have for each other. This makes their story relatable to many as people often try to reignite the spark and come back together as a couple when life gets in the way.
I truly felt for Natalie and Anthony, they clearly loved each other and finding their way back to themselves and each other is not an easy task at all. I was invested in them for the beginning and was desperately hoping they’d put the work in and not give up.
The emotional journey of the characters really appealed to me in this one. It was realistic and the emotions were there. I’m really enjoying this author’s work.

Falling Again: A Buckeye Falls Novel by Libby Kay is the third book of four. This book follows Anthony and Natalie. I have to say this was the couple I was most anticipating reading about and I was not disappointed. On the outside looking in Mayor Anthony and his Business Owner wife Natalie are the Perfect Power Couple. They have it all a perfect marriage, adorable children, power, money, and love. But as is usually the case the real story is a lot more complex behind closed doors. As the two have focused on their careers and children they have rarely had time for each other and are more like strangers then a loving married couple. But when the two take a trip to the lake house can they rekindle the love they once had? This is a beautiful second chance romance with all the small-town charm that makes this series special. This story specifically was so special. Seeing such an accurate representation of marriage and life with kids and work absolutely hits different. 5 out of 5 stars.

Falling Again
By: Libby Kay
I have really loved the Buckeye Falls Series. There is something about this small town that I particularly love. It may be because it is a town in Ohio, which is where I am from. However, I really feel that it is Libby Kay’s ability to write characters that are so endearing. These characters are complex who feel like people you actually know. This book does a fantastic job illustrating life. As an adult, we all know how life gets in the way. We all know how work, kids, family, expectations, adulting all those things can come before a relationship. But the question is what happens next? This book explores this question. This story of Anthony and Natalie is so wonderful. They are a couple that has had life get in the way, but they do truly love one another. This book is fantastic and I definitely recommend it! It is so very good and sweet.

I really enjoyed Falling Again, the 3rd book in the Buckeye Falls series. There are crossover characters from the previous two books, but this could be enjoyed as a stand alone book. The whole series are cute books. This book focuses on Anthony and Natalie. Anthony is the mayor of Buckeye falls. The previous books portray him poorly, being a grump and a pretty stuck up. While Natalie is one of Cece and Ginny's best friends and a sweet mom to two rambunctious kids. This book gave us a better look into each character, and we find out Anthony is a good guy who is just overworked and stressed out from living under his father's shadow. The book is very sweet, and romantic. Being a exhausted mom, this book is very realistic. I hope there is another book in the series, as we got to see a bit into Anthony's sister Alice this time. I would love to hear her story.

If you are looking for a book that will give you all the feels, leave you crying, smiling, and wanting to keep turning the pages, then this book is for you!
Falling Again by Libby Kay is part of the Buckeye Fall series and follows the mayor of Buckeye Falls, Anthony and his wife Natalie as they find a way to rekindle the love they have for eachother that has taken a back burner due to careers, parenting and being spread way too thin.
Although it's the 3rd book in the series, it can easily be read as a standalone and be thoroughly enjoyed but the feel of the book will be more complete if the series is read in order.
I loved the fact that the characters seemed real, flawed, and nuanced but still kept the fun of a romance. The book felt realistic and left you feeling all the warm and fuzzies! I can't wait to pick up the next book by this author.
Happy Reading!

I don’t have a lot to say about this story. All I can say is that this is a story for any married couple who has kids and life gets in the way of your marriage. Being too busy with work, kids that you dint have the time to spend with your spouse. And when you do you are just too tired from everything else that you just want to relax.
This story is about Natalie and Anthony and them making the time for their marriage. Them drifting to far apart to find their way back together. Moving past the guilt to find their way and maybe with a little help can they get back to what they had before or will this be the end of their perfect life. Great story, although I wanted to walk these a couple of times. If only they would just talk everything would be better…

On to book three in this Wonderful series. I’m enjoying a Buckeye Falls very much. These books can be read as a standalone. I love the Small Town feel as the reader. I have to say so far as I’ve been enjoying this series, I’ve really loved these two characters in book three which are Natalie & Anthony. This particular story in the series by far for me, had all the feels. I laughed, I teared up quite a bit, and I did not want their story to end. I also enjoyed the other characters that passed through Buckeye Falls as well. This was also a great second chance romance story. I’ve enjoyed Buckeye Falls so much. I cannot wait for book number four. The author is becoming a favorite of mine. I definitely as the reader, I was on a roller coaster of emotions, which, for me, as a reader, takes me all the adventure of the book. Anthony and Natalie, will definitely stay with me for a while.

Buckeye Falls, Ohio is a quaint small town where the townsfolk are unique characters that add to each couple's love story! This is the third book in the series by author Libby Kay. Each of these books can be read as a standalone as they focus on a specific couple, but I'd recommend reading them all as you get to see previous couples in later books and you also get to know the unique individuals that make up this small town. In this story, we focus on Natalie and Anthony, who seem to have a picture-perfect marriage. Though they portray the perfect couple for the town to see, Mayor Anthony and his wife have a major disconnect between them. Can they ever reconnect? I love how marriage was portrayed here as real and with real problems instead of the perfection a lot of books portray. This is a great read and I'm hooked on this clean-cut series and it's amazing small town.

I was so excited to get to read this third novel and return to Buckeye Falls! I loved that we got to see Natalie and Anthony take center stage in this story. We got brief glimpses of the two of them in the previous novels, so it was wonderful to get to know them both better! I loved that we got to see the POV of both characters and their internal and external struggles. The difficulties that they both faced were very realistic, but I loved that they both wanted to try, but were struggling in the execution of it. I loved that we got to see some brief appearances from characters from previous books. This is a wonderful series and I am absolutely dying to get to read the next novel in the series. I just can’t get enough of Buckeye Falls.

The third book in the Buckeye Falls series is a beautifully written clean romance. I have loved this author’s writing style and fell in love again with this read. Almost immediately I was fully invested in these characters because they were so relatable. Doesn’t everything look pretty from the outside when you don’t know the blood, sweat, and tears behind the scenes? I enjoyed the flow of this story as the characters try and find their way back to each other and the love that has gotten further away from them over the years. You can read this as a standalone, but I highly recommend reading the entire series in order. You will get more background in each book, and everything ties together quite nicely. If you like sweet and clean romances, this is definitely for you!

We are back in Buckeye Falls with Anthony and Natalie. These two have been married for a while, raising kids, both working endless hours but the sizzle in their marriage has dwindled. With the help of family and local residents we've previously met, the couple work to grow back together as husband and wife.
While this was a cute read, we didn't really get much new info about the town or the people. It's the same storyline with a new couple. The only 'twist' is that this couple is still in a marriage working on rekindling the flame. It was a quick story and good read just didn't leave me wanting more as I had with the previous two books in the series.

I loved this book! In the third book in the Buckeye Falls series, we meet characters Nicole and Anthony again. They are having a rough spell in their marriage and are desperate to reconnect. I read this book after reading the first two in the series, but I feel this book could be read alone. I was so excited to revisit Buckeye Falls! This book features wonderful dialogue and excellent characters. I love the steamy romance scenes. As with the other two books in the series, I love the friendships formed between the main characters. I recommend this book, especially for married couples.

In this poignant, sweet romance, Natalie and Anthony realize that they are missing something, each other. They are parents, business owners, the mayor, friends, siblings, children to their parents….but there seems to be a title missing. Husband and wife. It seems like they have forgotten that part.
Natalie constantly feels that she is failing with her children, her job, her responsibilities as the Mayor’s wife, and even failing herself. The biggest problem is that she can’t remember when she was Anthony’s wife. When he looked at her this morning as she stripped her chocolate stained shirt of to bathe their daughter, she realized that it has been waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too long since that has happened. She can’t remember the last time she saw him shirtless, much less naked.
Anthony has such big shoes to fill. Since his father was Mayor before him, Anthony feels the weight of his father’s shadow everywhere. Throw in trying to be a good dad, a decent son, an okay brother to a sister he doesn’t understand, a friend, Anthony forgot that he needs to be a good husband. Natalie is his everything. She is an amazing mom, a true support, and a better partner than he deserves. It takes a morning disaster for Anthony to realize that he needs to be better, do better.
When Anthony’s father asks him to take Natalie out to their summer house and pack it up to get it ready to sell, Anthony sees this opportunity to get some time with his wife. To finally have time to talk to her. To reconnect. After an almost perfect week, Anthony and Natalie come back ready to recommit to their marriage and lives. Anthony thinks he has found the perfect way to show Natalie this, a surprise 10th anniversary party. The only problem?? Anthony sucks at keeping secrets. He screws everything up. He is on the verge of losing Natalie and now must rely on friends to help, something he has never been good at doing. Will she forgive him? Or will this be the final straw that drives Natalie away?
This was a smash addition to this series about 2nd chances at love. The emotions that Natalie and Anthony felt were so real and raw. Anyone that has been in a relationship for 10 years or more knows what they were going through. Sometimes you just know that person is going to be there and you just forget to nurture them and the bond. Beautiful story.

I really enjoyed this book. It was a great airport/travel book - easy to read, story was great and the characters were totally relatable. It isn't a surprise that a marriage can feel detached once you have careers and kids - it was fun to read how Anthony and Natalie find a way back to each other. Anthony is a sweetheart - and finds himself in a sticky situation after he and Natalie make some promises to put each other first. I was sure glad he figured out a way to get out of that one - with the help of his friends!! I believe this is part of series - I will probably read the others!

This is book three in this series and focuses on the story between Anthony and his wife Natalie. I really enjoyed reading their story. They are juggling every day life and trying to find their groove between of all that comes with marriage, working, raising their kids Otis and Maddie. I really enjoyed all of the characters and elements of this small town and it's a great small town romance.
I received an arc and this review is my own.
