You know what they say\u2014when things start to come together, life throws you a curveball.<\/b><\/p>\n

Well, in this case…a hockey puck.<\/b><\/p>\n

Ten years ago, we were college sweethearts. Until Dominick (Ren) Renaldi decided the grass was greener playing pro hockey in Canada.<\/p>\n

I moved on\u2014made my mark as a designer. I run two restaurants and an inn at our family winery, Buttercup Hill.<\/p>\n

Nothing is missing. Nothing at all.<\/p>\n

Then Ren struts into my small town, a reminder of a broken heart I locked in the past.<\/p>\n

Okay, yes, this responsible, type A girl could really use a wild night of scorchin’ hot fun, and Ren, with his penetrating eyes and easy charm, is all too happy to deliver\u2014grownup style.<\/p>\n

Imagine my surprise when I see a little pink plus sign a few weeks later.<\/p>\n

I’m not looking for love, especially with a guy who’s walked away once. And Ren’s serious about his career, so he\u00a0will<\/i>walk away. Besides, I’m not the kind of woman who traps a man with a surprise baby.<\/p>\n

But when our shared history and a certain little growing bean brings us close again, I discover the real reason Ren left\u2014and why he’s back.<\/p>\n

I find myself starting to like my baby daddy and the man he became.<\/p>\n

But what if I love him, too?<\/p>\n

Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

\u201cWhen it comes to dreaming about the one who got away, I feel certain I have a ten-year head start.\u201d<\/i><\/b><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

3.5 stars<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a sweetly romantic second-chance sports romance with a surprise baby and a whole lot of swoon. It\u2019s the fourth book in the Buttercup Hill<\/i> series, but it can be read as a standalone, and I really enjoyed this read.<\/p>\n

Beatrix is one of the Corbett siblings who feature in this series. She is flat out managing the renovation to her family\u2019s vineyard, and while she\u2019s a workaholic control freak at the best of times, she\u2019s feeling overwhelmed by all of the competing priorities on her plate. When her assistant pushes her out of the office for a break, she\u2019s walking around her small country town when she literally runs into a blast for her past \u2013 Dominick Renaldi, hockey star, ex-college sweetheart, and love of her life. They share a scorching night together, and Trix walks away the next morning thinking that\u2019s it. Until she discovers she\u2019s pregnant.<\/p>\n

Ren was thrilled to run into the women he\u2019s never been able to get over. He handled their relationship breakup badly when he was drafted to Canada, and though he still struggles with the concept of juggling his hockey career and all of the constant travel with a relationship, now that Trix is back in his life and carrying his baby, he wants to hold on to her.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor ten years, my heart\u2019s ached for you, and there\u2019s no way in hell I\u2019m walking away again.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I enjoyed this book and watching the love story play out. There\u2019s no doubting that Ren and Trix are in it together, but when it comes to figuring out what their relationship actually means, that\u2019s where things get a bit tricky. They have their differences, and balancing their busy lives with a family is definitely a challenge, but I liked seeing them embrace all that they\u2019re feeling for each other and figure it out together.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou\u2019re mine, Trix. You\u2019ve always been mine.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The rest of the family are there supporting them both, and I enjoyed being back in this world. There\u2019s a great lead-in to Archer\u2019s story up next, and I\u2019m looking forward to that one.<\/p>\n

This is a sweet read that left me with a smile on my face.<\/p>\n

3.5 stars.<\/p>\n

About Stacy Travis<\/strong><\/h4>\n

\"\"It\u2019s a rough world out there, and we all sometimes need a good, romantic beach read, even if we can\u2019t make it to the beach. I\u2019ve spent many lazy days walking the streets of Paris and other gorgeous European cities, and if I\u2019m doing it right, I\u2019m bringing you a dash of romance and a vacay fantasy.<\/p>\n

I can\u2019t sit still, so when I\u2019m not hiking, biking or running, I\u2019m playing a very average game of tennis. Background music for writing undoubtedly features some U2, Lizzo, Billy Joel, Pink, Taylor Swift, and Led Zeppelin. Not necessarily in that order. And if I could only eat one food group, it would be cheese. Or wine. Or bread. Are those food\u00a0groups? Whatever.<\/p>\n
