Welcome Back to Bliss, The Land of Happily Ever Afters!

Lindsey Castellano couldn’t ask for more. She’s the most successful divorce lawyer ever raised in Bliss. (Never mind that she’s the only one.) She’s her nephew’s favorite aunt. (For the moment, anyway.) And thanks to a little gift (or curse) from the universe, she’s an expert at avoiding love, commitment, and inevitable heartbreak. Or so she thought until the night of her sister’s wedding.

Will Truitt might’ve grown up living a country song—his momma died, his daddy went to prison, and his dog ran away—but as an adult, he’s been blessed by the country rock gods. Being Billy Brenton on stage isn’t an honor he takes lightly. He likes to give back what fame has given him, which is how he finds himself happily crashing a wedding in this quirky little bridal-obsessed town. The one thing he isn’t counting on, though, is colliding with the only girl he ever let himself love.

It’s been fifteen years since she shattered his heart. Then, she’d been a sorority girl on her way to the top, and he’d been a lowly janitor with a little bit of a dream. Now he’s on top of the world, and she’s the last person he should need or want.

But she’s the only person who has ever inspired his music. And he’s the only man she’s never been able to forget. Have the years made them wiser, stronger, and better able to love, or this time, will they simply crash and burn harder?

Ms. Farrell's writing is quirky and totally unique, which is why I've come to adore it as much as I do. There's really no other author I could compare her to.

Once upon a time, Lindsey publicly humiliated Will and left him confused and heartbroken. Years later, the two of them are given a chance to put the past behind them but does Lindsey have it in her to finally conquer her insecurities and the doubts she has about their compatibility?

I crushed on Will/Billy for his commitment and traditional values. Lindsey has an unusual talent (psychic matchmaking) that caused her some grief as a younger woman but she needs to learn to embrace it if she's to find her true purpose in life. For me, their story couldn't have ended any more perfectly. Lindsey had to man up to face her fears and prove herself worthy of Will and she certainly did! Somehow, that scene managed to be both touching and laugh out loud funny.

Next up is Kimmie and I cannot wait to see that girl fall in love.
