About this listen
Riley Warren has spent her entire life in the same small town, in Upstate New York. There aren’t many prospects for true love, but she keeps hoping she will find it somehow. She dreams of owning the small movie theater she manages, but that takes money, which is hard to get when you live paycheck to paycheck.
Victoria Thayer has fallen for a woman more interested in her money than her heart, for the last time. When she runs into Riley, the first girl she ever had a crush on, at their high school reunion, she’s hoping there might just be a chance for the kind of relationship she’s always wanted. But Victoria can’t help wondering if Riley, too, is only after her money; and Riley can’t seem to forgive the fact that Victoria was part of a group of kids who used to bully her.
When hopes and dreams are on the line, will true love find a way?

Story
Bailey Kaczmarek has three loves: her dog, her construction company, and her very large family. After she finds out that her fiancée never stopped dating, she resolves to be content with what she has, rather than search for happiness in a relationship. It’s not like she has much free time anyway. Skye Kohl is a high-powered commercial real estate broker, who spends most of her waking hours negotiating some of the largest leases in the nicest buildings in Chicago. She’s so focused on topping the list of the most influential brokers in the city, that she ignores her love life.

Free-spirited and easygoing Taylor Vandenberg left her hometown of Faircombe, Tennessee, as soon as she could, and in the twenty-five years since, she has rarely looked back. She wouldn't change anything about how her life has turned out—having traveled to nearly every country, never staying anywhere long enough to feel stifled. Brooke Watson has known Taylor for her entire life, and lifelong knowledge means that Brooke knows she's trouble: irresponsible, takes nothing seriously, and irritatingly attractive.

Fighting for love
Riley had a crush on Vic one of the girls who bullied her in high school. Now Vic is back in town and she wants to apologize for her actions back then and confess that her feelings for Riley back then confused her. They start spending time together and feelings are growing, but thanks to 2 badly behaved mothers things aren't easy. Riley needs to try and get past old hurts. Vic wants to start living her true life not what is expected of her. Love is worth fighting for in this story. Great narrating by Lula Larkin.

Worth A Listen
Fairly well written, though the plotline is unimagnitive. It was an easy listen, particularly if you're multi-tasking at the time.
