Blurb:
Parker Chadwick (the third) fled Boston on a football
scholarship since his parents would only pay for him to attend an Ivy League
school and he wanted to play at a state one. He felt good leaving his
pretentious family, fake friends, and false life behind him. The 10 year class
reunion wasn’t the reason he returned home, though. His mother’s illness, his
father’s funeral, and a potential coaching job at the private school were life
events all vying for his time and attention. He had to admit there was one
person he was curious about. He made his way to Pat’s Pub and found more than
one good memory in his favorite booth there. They had kept that promise,
twenty-one, Pat's Pub. No one even knew he was in town that night.
Dixie Sweeting, better known as Sugar, wasn’t running from
her past anymore. In fact, she was ready to walk into that class reunion and
prove that even the wildest of children could grow up to be responsible adults.
No one really understood her back then, but she had dealt with her demons. All
of them, but one. The man who just slid into the booth seat across from her
wearing a smile as big as Texas. She hadn’t seen him since her twenty-first
birthday. This was their spot. Even though they couldn’t order drinks, they
could order food and no one from their school would see them together. Then he
left and he only returned once, when she turned twenty-one. He kept that
promise and she kept hers. She was his little secret. He was her escape from
reality. Some things never change, and some things do.
My review:
Though they
are from different sides of the tracks Parker and Dixie find peace in each
others arms. But can it ever be more? This book may only be 43 pages but the
author packs one heck of a story into them.
I recommend this story your heart will thank you.
