This is a wonderful follow up to When Lightning Strikes. Life is full of odd twists and turns, many out of our control that somehow become our new normal. But what happens when you can no longer deny that feeling that things are very wrong. Do you search for the truth even though you know that's going to hurt someone you really care about? When is it right to put yourself and your needs before everyone else? All difficult questions.

How do you explain visions of a life that don't fit your reality? There aren't any plausible explanation why Cheyenne sees a blonde woman and a beautiful bedroom with a canopy bed. Chey doesn't resemble her mother Anita or her sister Presley but shares a special bond with her sister. They rely on each other their entire lives because they are saddled with a mother who habitually leaves them uncared for in most basic ways.

The only good thing Anita does is move them to Whiskey Creek. Cheyenne builds strong friendships with a group of men and women there. They are her support group, the family which she needs so drastically with her dysfunctional one. Now things are becoming even more difficult. Anita is suffering cancer, and nearing the end, requiring constant care and medications. Hospice helps but the largest burden falls on Chey's shoulders. Presley is a wild girl with drug and alcohol problems and runs with a wild crowd.

In contrast is the respected tightly knit group of Chey's friends. Her best friend Eve and Eve's parents practically save Chey from the destructive path that Presley and Anita have. Chey has secrets, even from her friends, one is she has a crush on Gail's brother Joe. But now it appears that she isn't the only one who has feeling for Joe. Eve has been trying to catch his eye but he isn't taking the bait. Eve decides to get aggressive and ask Joe out. Chey has no choice but to support Eve. Her friendship is more important and vital to her than any possibility of a relationship with Joe.

Strangely enough Joe is feeling an attraction to Chey just when a new man is gaining her attention. A man who isn't her type. He comes from a family of brothers with a dubious reputation in the community. Talk about town of the Amos Brothers is of arrests, fights and drugs. The oldest, Dylan has the lion share of bad raps against him. Tough and scary he is considered out of bounds for good girls like Chey.

Dylan has had an eye on Chey for a long time. But to Chey he is invisible. Dylan is very aware of Chey's crush on Joe. But he is undeterred when he gets the chance to make a pass. Surprisingly Chey finds herself attracted to this tough guy. He totally turns her on, and she admits that no man ever made her feel the way she does with Dylan. She brazenly arranges to be with him whenever possible. And the more they are together the more Chey realizes how misunderstood and unfairly stereotyped he is.

Just when Mr. Right starts making his moves Chey finds herself seeking out the worst possible candidate for herself. When did Mr. Wrong become her Mr. Right. The heart is a funny thing. It doesn't really acknowledge wrong from right it just knows who makes the heart come alive. Looks like Chey is going to have to make some difficult decisions.

Just when Novak has you already rooting for a young woman finally getting her wish of being with her dream man she throws a very unexpected curve ball. I think I see a pattern here where each new book I read from Novak becomes my new favorite. And each story comes with a new character that finds its way into my heart. Once again prepare to fall in love with this newest visit to Whiskey Creek. This is not the last of the Amos brothers. Lucky since they have already won a place in my heart.
