Carla Rowling receives everything she needs to make her dreams come true, but will her guilt over the past ruin everything?
Carla Rowling has been given her dream of attending cosmetology school. The gift is so generous she feels unworthy because of choices she made as a teen. The pressure mounts as Carla juggles school, is a single mom, helps her best friend Jenna plan her wedding, spends time with boyfriend Will Marshall, and deals with the fact that her son's father is back in their lives.
Will Marshall is the one Speculator Falls resident everyone can count on. His truck deliveries are reliable. He's the first to help friends like Ben Regan with boat work or be a card partner with Bart Davis. Will's ready to settle down with Carla, loving her is natural. He's bonded with her son, Noah. But when Carla starts cosmetology school, she puts emotional distance between her and Will.
Can Carla release her past and create a future full of highlights, or, will she burn her options worse than a bad perm?

Was My Favorite So Far in the Series
Was my favorite so far in the series ! Julie has a way with her writing that brings the setting and characters to life ! I cried, smiled and laughed and couldn't put it down ... I especially loved the scenes in the cosmetology school and the students .. loved the romance and how we were kept in suspension on who she would end up with !
Get a cup of coffee and some chocolates of course and find out for yourself ...
What is True Love?
Loved this book as it has humor, and romance while it explores what true love is. It's about the love between a mother and child and the love between truly good friends. But primarily about a true and lasting love between two people. A love rooted in the everyday events of life-watching a movie,preparing dinner,fixing things. But most importantly always being there to help when someone really needs it.
Emotional Roller Coaster
I laughed, I cried, I rejoiced and I couldn't put it down! I spent the day with Carla and a quote from her couldn't be more wrong... "Right. The teen mom who leaves the sheriff’s office to cut hair, all while waffling between two men. There’s a book people will rush to read." Well I did!
Nobleman's son, Todd Ramble, returns home after years abroad and finds himself falling in love with his step-sister, who was now a grown woman. Unfortunately their love is brutally challenged by his tyrannical father.
