The One I Left Behind (Plain Daisy Ranch, #1)
Piper Rayne
It’s the classic story—boy 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.

this book wasn't something out of this world, i didn't get really attached to the main characters but to be honest?? the side characters and specially ben's brothers?? and ben's best friend brooks?? oh yeah i need their books !!
gillian and ben were childhood sweethearts and ben left the small town leaving gillian heartbroken but after living his dream he comes back and wants to make amends with his family but obviously with gillian too and their journey was cute and good, gillian having a son and everyone thinking it's ben's was actually funny and gillian's bond with clayton, her son was beautiful wish i they had more scenes but still good! ben's family were also one of the best parts of the book, specially his dad idk he was such a baddie and making their sons work for it it's so funny!!
im not in love with gillian and ben, again they were cute, i just think it happened a little too fast you know i needed more growling haha but yeah it was a quick cute read and i love small town romances so I might not be totally obsessed but liked it and i am interested in reading about the other characters too, specially jude and sadie best friends to lovers it's the best so i am excited!!

With each chapter, I'm falling deeper into the story, rooting for love to conquer all.
