It had been twelve years.

They never expected to see each other again.

Then they were handed a second chance.

Fun-loving Whitney Brennan has been running the presses at the Nestled Hollow Gazette while running from love. She's part of every town gathering, but is terrified of making any real or deep connection with anyone because she knows that if she does, they'll end up leaving like her mother did. Like the man who taught her everything about the paper did. Like her high school best-friend-turned-boyfriend did on graduation night.

Eli Treanor skipped out of Nestled Hollow twelve years ago and created a new life and a thriving team-building business he thoroughly enjoys in Sacramento. When his parents beg him to come back and run the family outdoor rentals business while his dad has surgery, Eli isn't happy about returning to the town that didn't love him, the dad he could never please, and the girl he left behind all those years ago.

When Whitney and Eli are paired together to create the decorations for the Main Street Fall Market, many of their old feelings resurface. But it also opens past wounds. Can Whitney and Eli overcome the fears that are stopping them from giving their love the second chance it deserves?

Come make yourself at home in Nestled Hollow where community becomes family and the romances are sweet, swoony, and chock-full of chemistry. Each interconnected stand-alone novel has its own happily ever after.

Editorial Reviews

"Sweet romance at its best! I loved Whitney and Eli and want to visit Nestled Hollow over and over again!"

Elana Johnson

"Romance done right! In her debut novel, Easton combines small town charm with second chance romance, and the results are simply enchanting! I loved Whitney and Eli! Their love story plays out like the perfect, well-rounded romance flick, with plenty of chemistry along the way. I found myself wishing I could pack up, move to the quaint and friendly town of Nestled Hollow, and enjoy the happy gatherings, friendly faces, and tight-knit community. Already looking forward to the next Nestled Hollow love story. This series is going to be a keeper!"

Loved it!!

I love it! This is a wonderful story with Whitney and Eli and their story of a second chance. I loved the little town and all the fun characters there. This is a really sweet, clean romance.

Good

Really enjoyed how the whole town is a part of it all. Was great how the seemingly insurmountable issues got resolved when they chose correctly. A good read.

Eli and Whitney

Meg Easton is a talented writer who weaves a beautiful love story with a charming small town. In this first in a series, of I hope many, Eli has left town 12 years ago and is now coming back to help with his parents store while his father recovers from surgery Whitney hasn’t seen or heard from him during that time. Eli needs to conquerthe inferior feelings he has had since he was young and Whitney is trying to realize it is worth loving and caring for people instead of holding them away. They are paired together to plan the decorations for the town Fall Festival and realize they have loved each other all this time. The story line is great and makes you wish you lived in Nestled Hollow. I’m looking forward to reading all of the books in this series. If you like reading about small towns and lighthearted romance, you will enjoy this book.

Another chance

Sweet story giving this couple a chance to air out their history and also revisit their obstacles. Characters are lovable and realistic and emotions are raw as they deal with things, family-wise and relationship-wise in a mostly more mature way. Love the ending to the start of a new beginning, full of love and support.

Ok, but Dragged On A Little Too Long

This book had some sweet romantic moments, but I found it to be confusing. First of all, the townspeople labeled Eli and Whitney "trouble", but no one ever said what kind of trouble they caused. Or did I miss something?Then, Whitney somehow redeemed her reputation with the town, until she was pretty much perfect. Whitney was basically as damaged as Eli. Her sister moved while she was in high school, and her mother picked up and left her too. Her mother couldn't have found a way to stay in town a few months so that her child could graduate from high school?Eli's father was unpleasant and abusive and his mother supported his father over her son. Question - they had separated. When did his parents get back together?So we have two people pining for each other for TWELVE years, yet they NEVER try to get in touch with one another.I guess my confusion stems from what is supposed to be a sweet, second chance romance built on a foundation of two people that could use some counseling in a town that supports one person and seems to kind of blame the otherfor something that happened 12 years ago.On top of ALL of that, this book just went on way too long for me. It was very descriptive and you got a really great picture of fall in that area, but the entire Eli and Whitney buildup took forever. And, how did they go from working on the Fall Festival together to dating? I guess I missed that transition also.If you are looking for a sweet clean romance with a HEA and don't want to think about the underlying issues, then this may be the book for you. It was OK.
