Don't have an opening quote for this.
Hank lost Kelly when she got pregnant by him and he was angry about it. Then he was relieved when she miscarried. She's never really forgiven him, but she got kicked out of her house by her grandfather when she turned eighteen. She didn't tell Hank she got kicked out of her house. He thought she left because she was so angry at him.
And that's the main problem with this novel. These two are terrible at communicating with each other. In the past, now. They are both reluctant to share anything important happening in their lives with each other. They make a huge, life-altering decision, and then they just go on with life without telling the other person the Big News. It's strange. And it's definitely damaging their relationship and making it hard to trust one another.
Hank married a horrible rich woman and had a daughter with her: Noelle, age 10. She acts like a brat for pretty much the whole book, so if you don't enjoy reading about bratty kids, skip this. He never really made an effort to be part of his daughter's life. I don't really feel like there is an excuse for this. It's not an appealing quality in a hero. Now, his ex-wife is going on a cruise and Noelle is coming to stay with him on his ranch for three months. He's hoping to reconnect with her and make up for not really being part of her life ever.
That's basically the book. They are old lovers, reunited. But both of them make poor decisions about keeping important information a secret and not communicating with each other. They don't talk honestly with each other. They don't share things - very important things, life-altering things - with each other. Then they are pissed off at each other all the time because the other hid stuff. FOR NO REASON, by the way. There's no reason for hoarding these 'secrets.' It's annoying to the reader.
HOW'S THE SEX, CARMEN?
There's no sex of any kind in this book.
TL;DR Two people who are overly secretive for no reason hurt each other emotionally. They definitely didn't learn any lessons from the past. They make the same mistakes now as they did when they were seventeen.

This one sounds like a waste of time, so thanks for telling the rest of us. Have you read anything you've loved lately?

I wouldn't say 'loved.' My most recent four and five stars are:
One Final Step
Her Cowboy Hero
The Texan's Surprise Son
