After an engagement gone bad with a man who wanted to change everything about her, Sarah is more than ready for the town whose motto may as well be, &#8220;If it ain&#8217;t broke, don&#8217;t fix it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Chris Reed, on the other hand, wants nothing more than to spark some change in the little town. As the new owner of the Dip &#8216;n&#8217; Dine, he&#8217;s shaking things up to draw folks from all over the Southwest into his restaurant.<\/p>\n<p>As it turns out, the winds of change are blowing into Last Chance&#8211;just not in the ways that Sarah or Chris might expect.<\/p>\n<p>With the same evocative writing and fascinating characters that won fans for her debut novel, Cathleen Armstrong invites readers back to Last Chance for a soul-searching, romantic story of two people navigating the twists and turns of small-town life.<\/p>\n<p>==================<br \/>\nWhile I really enjoyed this book, I found that I far more enjoyed Chris&#8217; story than I did Sarah&#8217;s story. I found Sarah&#8217;s attitude about things never changing, even things that logically change all the time, to be a bit unrealistic and unsettling. That being said, the book is a good one that won&#8217;t disappoint. Life does have a tendency to change in ways that we least suspect and this is exactly what happened for both Chris and Sarah.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/s227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/?action=view&amp;current=Name2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Photobucket\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/i227.photobucket.com\/albums\/dd163\/kroets\/Name2.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><i>I received a copy of this book for the purpose of this review.
