YOU, ME, AND SWEET TEA by Calico Daniels is a fun read. It
is only
around 80 pages but don't let that fool you. This story
packs a punch.
Paisley Archer has been trying to move on with her life for
the past two
years. Two years ago, she was happily married to Matt
Weston, the local rodeo hero. Until one day he gets a call
from big
sponsors to back his rodeo tour and off he goes. Paisley is
heart broken
but Matt's father, Joe, takes it even harder. He starts to
drink heavily which
isn't a good thing as he spends nearly every waking hour in
the local Bear Creek bar.
Two years ago, Matt, Paisley, and Joe were making plans to
go into
business together. The three of them were very close at the
time and life
was good. Until one day, Matt tells them he is leaving to
compete in the
rodeo season. He leaves and doesn't look back. No one
hears from him,
no one sees him, and then one night, at midnight, Paisley
gets a knock on
her door. Guess who? Matt and he tries to get back into
his house. The
house he shared with Paisley, but of course, she is having
no part of it.
They yell, he tries to get in and finally she pushes him
back and he falls off
the porch, injuring himself. He has no where to go and can
barely walk, so
guess who's couch he ends up on? Yes, Paisley's. Now the fun
begins.
Paisley still loves Matt very much and while her head is
telling her to run as
fast as she can, her heart tells a different story. Her
head tells her to get
Matt to sign the divorce papers so she can move on with her
life. Her heart
tells her she still loves him and still wants him in her
life. What will Paisley
do? Take him back? Have him sign the divorce papers? You are
going to
have to read YOU, ME, AND SWEET TEA to find out. Matt
still loves
Paisley and knows he made a big mistake walking away from
her two years
ago. Will he be able to prove to Paisley that he is sorry
and he still loves
her? Will she give him the chance?
This is my first book by Calico Daniels, but I really
enjoyed it and now I am
on the hunt for the rest of her books. It was fun and quick
but a complete
and engaging read. I was quickly wrapped up in Paisley and
Matt's
business and my heart was breaking for Matt's father, Joe.
Big Creek is the kind of small town where everyone knows
everyone else's
business and they all talk about it. Everyone knows Paisley
is still heart
broken over Matt leaving two years ago, but they remember
how happy
they were before he left. Do you think the town will be
able to forgive Matt
too?
