Publisher's summary

Deep River, Alaska, boasts a fiercely independent though small population. The people who live here love it, and they don't much care what anyone else thinks. But then one day Silas Quinn comes back and tells them an oil reserve has been found below the town, and now it's neighbor vs. neighbor. Some want to take the money and run, while others want to tell the oil company to put its rigs where the sun don't shine.

Hope Dawson never expected to leave Deep River. Her mom needs her. Her grandfather died and left her the local hangout to run. Her dreams of college and adventure died long ago. But then Silas comes back to town, holding the key to set her free. But freedom means she loses him again, and he's the one she's always really wanted.

Small town second chance

Jackie Ashenden wrote a wonderful second chance love story that turns out to be a second chance for both the town and for the friendship between Hope and Silas.

Loved how Hope tries to resist her feelings for Silas. He was her best friend before both he and Caleb moved away and left her behind in a quirky little Alaskan town.

I really enjoyed the way the town came together to figure out how to deal with the news that Silas brings when he comes back to town.

Heartwarming story about how we deal with friendships, love and family love in a small town.

Ava Lucas does an amazing performance and showcases the emotions of all the characters. I enjoy her Male POV as much as her female voices.

Throughly enjoyed this escape into Deep River Alaska.

Love this town!

Can you go home? Silas come home to Deep River with some news that will effect the entire town. He has been gone for years, has no desire to stay but has to let the people know what is going on. What he doesn't expect is the feeling that home can bring. Now seeing the one he let get away, things may change. Hope has never left Deep River. Upon the death of her grandfather, she took over the local pub and has not looked back. Silas makes her heart race, but she knows he isn't long for Deep River. Or is he? And now with his news, will she stay? I love small town stories, and Jackie Ashenden brings this one to us with fantastic characters and story that kept me guessing. Hope is an interesting character. Not only is she loyal to her family and the pub, but the sheer thought of change and moving brings out her insecurity, much like we all have. Silas is that man we all love. He is warm and caring, and the best is he knows what he wants. I love their push pull relationship, right to the very end. Surprises, twists and turns keep us guessing until the very end. It's a wonderfully warm, entertaining listen.

I can never say enough good things about Ava Lucas. Her narrations are always spot on. She gets into the heads of her characters, giving them the exact personality intended by the author. Her voices fit the picture I have of them, and she gives us all the feels. Another amazing performance!

Silus and Hope

This is a small town romance story where the past returns home and stirs things up. For me the story could have had little bit of angst given they are worried about big oil people. It just seemed like it could grab my attention. I really enjoyed the narration.
