Summary

He ran from his broken heart…

Seth Turnquist never thought his heart would mend after being shattered by his former love, Amelia Christiansen。 But three years away from Deep Haven fighting fires as a smokejumper have burned her away, leaving fresh soil for a new love。 Still, he’s ready to put Deep Haven in his rearview mirror for good, which means selling the custom log home he built for Amelia and walking away from the family business。 But what he doesn’t realize is that the seeds for a second chance have already been planted…

She loved him from the sidelines…

Ree Zimmerman couldn’t let herself love Seth—not when he was her best friend’s boyfriend。 And after Amelia broke his heart, there simply wasn’t anything left in him for Ree except friendship。 But that never stopped Ree from dreaming of a happily ever after with the lumberjack from Deep Haven。 When he returns home for his grandfather’s birthday, she’s not about to let him walk away, again…

Return to Deep Haven in this charming homecoming story about the second chances that await us when we let the past go。

she’s an excellent writer by default Ordinarily, I don’t like short novels (or novellas) because I like to see the author flesh out the characters。 I’d rather, however, read a short novel by Susan May Warren than a full novel by a less accomplished author。 She’s simply “got the gift。”

How I love Deep Haven and its inhabitants。 Yes, I’ve read this series backwards; I read through the six novels in the collection and then read this prequel novella。 Still, even knowing the HEA ending of Seth and Ree, their story is so good。 It’s a friends-to-more trope with one-sided crush, a strong swoony hero, a lovable heroine and overflowing with a cast of colorful and memorable secondary characters, daring rescue, small-town festivities, and lessons on finding one’s true self and worth。 It’ How I love Deep Haven and its inhabitants。 Yes, I’ve read this series backwards; I read through the six novels in the collection and then read this prequel novella。 Still, even knowing the HEA ending of Seth and Ree, their story is so good。 It’s a friends-to-more trope with one-sided crush, a strong swoony hero, a lovable heroine and overflowing with a cast of colorful and memorable secondary characters, daring rescue, small-town festivities, and lessons on finding one’s true self and worth。 It’s a fantastic fast-paced read!I received the book from the author and was under no obligation to post a positive comment。 All opinions are my own。 。。。more

Susan May Warren wrote this fun, little novella as an introduction to the new Deep Haven series。 Seth Turnquist wants to slip into town, fulfill his family obligations, sell his house, and go back to his life as a fire jumper in Montana。 But, Deep Haven is a small town, and it's really impossible to get in and out without notice。 Ree Zimmerman is the first to spot Seth in town because she regularly runs the trail by his house and happens to notice lights on inside。 She DOES NOT have a crush on S Susan May Warren wrote this fun, little novella as an introduction to the new Deep Haven series。 Seth Turnquist wants to slip into town, fulfill his family obligations, sell his house, and go back to his life as a fire jumper in Montana。 But, Deep Haven is a small town, and it's really impossible to get in and out without notice。 Ree Zimmerman is the first to spot Seth in town because she regularly runs the trail by his house and happens to notice lights on inside。 She DOES NOT have a crush on Seth。 He is her best friend's former fiancé, and that just wouldn't be kosher。 But he kind of does flit through her mind on a regular basis。 What will happen when they find themselves in the same town again with a mind full of unforgettable memories? "Only You" is a fun, quick read that will get you excited to step back into Deep Haven for some more romance and fun。 。。。more

"Only You" is a prequel to the new Deep Haven collection。 I loved being back in Deep Haven and getting reacquainted with the residents there。 I liked the characters and the growth they underwent。 Even though it was a quick novella, it didn't feel rushed。 Ree and Seth had known each other their whole lives, so it wasn't like they had to get to know each other。 I look forward to the new series and getting to spend more time in Deep Haven。I got a free copy of this book from sunrisepublishing。com。 A "Only You" is a prequel to the new Deep Haven collection。 I loved being back in Deep Haven and getting reacquainted with the residents there。 I liked the characters and the growth they underwent。 Even though it was a quick novella, it didn't feel rushed。 Ree and Seth had known each other their whole lives, so it wasn't like they had to get to know each other。 I look forward to the new series and getting to spend more time in Deep Haven。I got a free copy of this book from sunrisepublishing。com。 All thoughts and opinions are my own and given voluntarily。 No compensation was received for my review。 。。。more

Susan May Warren always writes a winner whether it is fighting forest fires and other dangerous professions or, like Only You, a touching story of love in Deep Haven! You will love this novella of Ree who has loved Seth most of her life while Seth had eyes only for her best friend Amelia! I received a complimentary e-book from the author。 This is my honest opinion。

Well, I loved this wonderful novella that kicks off the Deep Haven Collection series。 It is a return to the author’s beloved, fictional town of Deep Haven and the start of a series that is written by new authors in collaboration with Susan May Warren。These two main characters are side characters from some earlier novels and I absolutely adored them and seeing their story come to life。Ree has loved Seth for years, but he was always in love with and got his heart broken by her best friend。 Seth re Well, I loved this wonderful novella that kicks off the Deep Haven Collection series。 It is a return to the author’s beloved, fictional town of Deep Haven and the start of a series that is written by new authors in collaboration with Susan May Warren。These two main characters are side characters from some earlier novels and I absolutely adored them and seeing their story come to life。Ree has loved Seth for years, but he was always in love with and got his heart broken by her best friend。 Seth returned to Deep Haven but did not plan to stay any longer than necessary。 I loved the way he began to fall for Ree and also the way his heart began to open to his family and Deep Haven once again。The romantic chemistry between these two was fantastic and made for such a beautiful love story。 I am hoping to see Seth and Ree as side characters in some in the future books so that I can see how things are going for them。 I also know that this is a novella that I will definitely be reading again and again。This prequel novella is available for free on the Sunrise Publishing website。 You can sign up for the newsletter to receive your own ebook copy at https://sunrisepublishing。com/free-pr。。。。You can read this review on my blog:https://brittreadsfiction。wordpress。c。。。 。。。more

They flow with wonderful images so vivid that it’s easy to get swept away and believe it’s real。I'm at a loss to have words eloquent enough to convey the depth of emotions and feelings I get each time I pick up one of Susan May Warrens' books。 In each of her books, I find wonderful life lessons of the love of God, woven in such a way that it is real and not fake or pushed。Whatever Ms。 Warren writes I'll read because I know I'll be captivated and blessed in a way that is life-changing。I was given this book by the publisher which did not influence my review in any way, all thoughts and opinions are my own。 。。。more

Such a sweet story about Seth and Ree! I was so glad that we got to read their story and see both of them get a happy ending。 Never mind that any journey back to Deep Haven is completely worth it! Definitely a worthwhile read!
