She’s more than the girl next door. She’s the one who got away.
When Callie McCallahan left for the big city, she had a plan. Since then, she’s had some bumps in the road, most recently her failed business and engagement. When she inherits her uncle’s Kentucky farm, it’s the perfect do-over. With her social media skills, she’ll attract a whole new following and refresh her career. The only thing is…she knows nothing about farming.
For Tanner Patrick, Callie was the one who got away. He crushed on her in high school, but she barely knew he existed. Ten years later, she’s moved back—and now she lives next door. Tanner keeps his head down and focuses on his family’s tree farm. But when he sees Callie is afraid of chickens and can’t run a tractor—and looking pretty down-to-earth and happy—Tanner finds her impossible to ignore.
Lori Foster’s romances always offer me an escape and Let Me Be the One was no exception. When Callie McCallahan inherits her uncle’s farm, she sees it as the perfect chance to start over and put some space between her family, ex-fiance, and the pressures of pleasing her parents. While exploring her property with her best friend in tow, she accidentally crosses onto the property owned by Tanner Patrick and his family. She doesn’t recognize this handsome man, but he knows exactly who she is. The tale that unfolds pulled me in and never let me go.
Despite being a “princess,” Callie is well grounded and not afraid of hard work. I immediately liked her. I fell for Tanner immediately. He’s the scrawny boy from the wrong side of the tracks who, despite all odds, grew into a man any momma would be proud of.
We meet Tanner’s family, including the woman who raised him and the brother he loves despite the lack of a blood bond. If you love small-town romances, Let Me Be the One checks all the boxes from meddling to heart-warming moments and found family.
Callie’s family is pressuring her, her neighbors to the west scare her, and she has chickens. I loved watching her build a home, open up, and the dance between her and Tanner left me swooning. Character growth, trust and funny moments left me smiling.
Whether you take this to the beach or curl up in your favorite reading chair, Let Me Be the One is the perfect small-town romance escape.
