This was everything I knew it would be and more. I have never wanted to live in Badger Creek so badly. Getting parts of Nick and Elissa through the other’s stories was always good, but I was so happy to finally get their story. As always with these duets, I was sucked right in, and it pulled at all of my heart strings. It’s been years, how they ended things was heart breaking with words they said in the moment. Nick went off to follow his dream, and Elissa stayed behind  to take care of her mom. So when an injury means Nick comes back home, what happens then? Their feelings and chemistry are still so strong and I was hanging on to every word. I could go on and on but I don’t want to spoil it. I was the most emotional about their story and I can’t wait for the second part now. Hands down a favorite of 2024 for me.
