Dallas MacGregor's movie career is in much better shape
than her marriage to Emilio Baird. Even while the divorce
proceedings are in full swing, Emilio and his
transgressions are making headlines and getting millions of
hits on You-Tube. His latest tape causes Dallas to
pack up her seven-year-old son and head to the sleepy town
of St. Dennis -- and her Great-Aunt Berry. Years ago, after
the death of Dallas's father, Aunt Berry graciously took in
11-year-old Dallas and her younger brother, Wade, providing
them an escape every summer of freedom and love. As Dallas
becomes familiar with the town again, she comes face-to-
face with the one she left behind, Grant Wiley, best friend
and summer love. Dallas and Grant have different lives now,
but fate may have its own idea what the future holds.
Grant Wiley has moved back to St. Dennis to take over the
local veterinarian office after his divorce and opens an
animal shelter, while sharing as much time with his teenage
daughter as he can. Grant's sister and daughter are unable
to contain themselves after running into Dallas MacGregor
in town. His heart immediately beats a little faster, his
hands start to sweat and his mind goes completely blank.
Grant manages to avoid Dallas, using a busy practice
schedule as his excuse, until Dallas' son comes looking for
a dog to call his own. Of course, who else will they turn
to but to Grant, who has plenty of animals to choose from.
Hearing about Dallas, watching her on the silver screen and
thinking about her regularly is nothing compared to seeing
her in the flesh. All of the old feelings come rushing to
the surface, leaving him no choice but to brace for the
future.
Mariah Stewart's Chesapeake Diaries series is
absolutely priceless with its small-town charm and
characters you will fall in love with. Aunt Berry is a
hoot! I loved it!
