About this ebook

An emotional small town, second chance romance by New York Times bestselling author Jean Oram.

One woman. Two men. One meddling small town.

Raised by her older sister in the small town of Blueberry Springs, all Beth Wilkinson wants is to create a family so big she’ll never be alone. Things are going great until her accountant fiancé, Oz, experiences a family trauma, forcing him to rethink everything from his own career to their nuptial plans—leaving Beth alone.

As Beth works to rediscover her former bold and independent self in hopes of reattracting Oz, she catches the eye of the charming new city doctor, Nash. Not only does he see her as she’d like to be seen, but he knows exactly what he wants from life—and that includes Beth.

Torn between the two men, as well as two versions of herself, Beth discovers that love and dreams are much more complicated than they seem.

A sweet, second chance romance that will have readers wondering who Beth should choose.

Ratings and reviews

I enjoy the reading, but dislike the ending because Oz is a coward guy who doesn't deserve Beth! 😟 Nash is better except not good in writing romantic words. 😰

This is a funny and touching Romance that is also serious and dramatic. Love can be sidetracked by Life's uncertainties. If you find your plans for marriage and kids taking a serious blow, will love survive? That's what this story is about. Are you better off finding love with someone else or trying to figure out how to make it work with someone you have loved for so long? My only complaint is that you can't really be in love with two people at the same time, especially if you still love your ex.

This is a prequal to the Blueberry Springs series. If you love small town Romance with some angst mixed in with it you will love this series. This book we are introduced to Beth and Oz. Beth has always loved Oz and they were together for 2.5 years and engaged to be married. Beth has always wanted a big family with the white picket fence, and was happily getting things ready for their wedding. Oz loved her so much that when he was trying to figure out his life he broke things off. He broke her heart but she never stopped loving him. During the 1st part of the breakup, Oz just wanted a break, but thought that he could figure things out quickly. This of course does not happen, and he keeps pushing Beth away from him, finally completely breaking things off as he does not think he can be who he thinks she needs. She ends up having a rebound relationship with Nash, a dr from the city, they end up engaged. Does Beth end up marrying Nash, or can her and Oz still have their HEA?
