Publisher's Summary

It's the classic storyboy goes off into the world to fulfill his dreams and leaves the girl behind.

Not every boy returns home, and I wish Ben Noughton wouldn't have come back to our small ranching town at all after he retired from playing professional football.

I figure it's a quick layover for him. He always wanted out of this town and off his family's ranch. I just have to bide my time until he turns his back on all of us again.

Then he takes on the coaching position for the high school football team and starts milling around too much, bulldozing the protective walls I've built around myself. But he goes too far when he takes my son under his wing to help him be the best player he can be. Leaving me to protect not only my own heart but my son's too.

Because I promised myself a long time ago that I'd never be the girl in the rearview mirror again.

Another Small Town To Love

I loved Ben and Gillian's story. It had some heart-wrenching moments where I wish they could have turned back time. But as in life, things don't always go as planned.

Piper Rayne has started the new Plain Daisy Ranch series with more small-town romances to bloom. Lots of characters were introduced in book one and I'm eager to read and/or listen to them all.

The One I Left Behind was easy to listen to. It was narrated in duet style by CJ Bloom and Robert Hatchet. Their voices fit the characters' voices, and their speaking style portrayed the characters' emotions very well. I never struggled to follow along, and I know it enhanced my enjoyment of the story.

I love when audio books are available on release day. I love to listen and read along or listen while driving. I never lose a minute of reading time. If the audio is not out on release day, I likely won't purchase it because I'll be done reading the book before it releases.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
