This book has a very sweet silly name that might lead you to believe it's something Maeve Binchy might write. But it's a true blue romance novel with a very sweet story in the middle.
Sarah left Twilight, Texas at 16 and never looked back after being absolutely mortified by her own behavior. You see, she had very romantic dreams of the boy across the road and believed, via her grandmother's fables, that if you slept with a Kismet cookie under your pillow your dreams of love came true. So when she heard he was getting married, she barged into the church and declared to all that he couldn't as she was to be his one true love.
You can imagine how that turned out.
7 years later she's the hit author of a fast selling children's book, using an alias. She receives a sweet letter from a little girl who's very ill and believes she'll die. She wants to meet the author before that happens.
What Sarah doesn't know is that the little girl's daddy is her own "one true love" from 7 years ago. Now a single parent with a desperately ill child.
Sarah returns to the town to grant the child's wish. One look at her daddy is all it takes to get that old feeling back - the one she pushed way down deep many years ago.
Will Travis feel the same way now that they're older and he's single again? Or will the fear for his daughter keep him at arms length one more time?
A good read, some real emotion was put into the writing and it shows.
