Description de l’éditeur
Are they one late-night hayride away from tumbling back into a very bad idea?
Olivia Minelli needs a one-way ticket out of Pine Harbour. It's too small for both her and her ex-husband. So when a new job falls into her lap, she grabs it with both hands. When this contract is complete, she'll have enough money saved up to leave town for good. Which means settling some unresolved business with the only man she's ever truly loved, once and for all.
Rafe Minelli knows he won't get a second chance at what he once had with his ex-wife. The demands of his double career—as a police officer and military reservist—were a dealbreaker when they were together. And he's thrilled for her new opportunity. But with it comes a ticking clock deadline that forces both of them to address the smouldering embers of a connection that just won't go away.
They aren't the same young kids who rushed into marriage the first time. But as summer slides into fall, Rafe sets out to prove he's a changed man before he loses her forever. One hayride at a time.
Avis des utilisateurs
4 1/2 Stars for this second chance love!
This review is for the second edition of the book. I just loved Olivia and Rafe! I think that even though they were too young to get married and they had lots of problems because of that ... they never stopped loving each other and they were meant to be together. And seeing how I'm Canadian ... I loved all the Canadian references and places. I also loved how the author set up the rest of the series with all the characters in the two families and I can't wait to read them!
Olivia moved to Pine Harbour when she married Rafe six years ago, but their marriage fell apart. Two years later, Olivia would like a second chance at their marriage and little does she know that Rafe has the same feelings. This is a story of second chances and how true love never dies.

Love in a Small Town
Rafe and Olivia met while Rafe was in police college, fell in love, got married and returned to the small town that he grew up in. After many ups and downs in their relationship, they finally divorced. When Olivia tells Rafe that she is done with the back and forth fighting and planning on moving he becomes determined to figure out how to fix things and win back his wife before it's too late and she is gone for good.
I am on the fence regarding this book as no matter how much I tried, I just could not connect with the main characters and felt more interested in the side characters. Rafe and Olivia clearly still love each other and there is sexual tension between them when they are together but they are like oil and water that they also fight constantly. I did enjoy the writing and the setting of Northern Ontario that it made it easy to connect and picture the small town with living in small-town Ontario myself. Zoe York is a new to me author.
Love in a Small Town is a small town, second chance romance and the beginning of the Pine Harbor series from Zoe York.
