*****5 Stars*****
I am loving this series, this is the second book in the Station 32 series the first is Wyatt and Harleys story and this is the story of Easton who we met in the first book. Easton was a wonderful friend but always seemed quite a sad character having lost his father as a child he seemed to be drifting through his teenage years though Wyatt’s Dad along with Lucas Armstrong, Memphis and Georgia’s Dad, were on hand to try and guide him as best they could. So it was sad to see at the beginning of his story that he loses another father figure in Lucas.
We learn that Easton and Georgia had a connection as children which is soon ignited once again as they come back to Willowhaven to attend Lucas’ funeral. However Easton is too loyal a friend to risk starting anything with his friend’s younger sister yet the both find comfort and understanding of their grief in each other which is short lived as Easton heads back out to his life on the road as his commitment to Wyatt chasing the rodeos and Georgia goes back to her broken life with her drifter Mom. I loved this part of the book it was so bitter sweet and I really wanted the two of them to just be happy from that moment.
Three years on we find both Easton and Georgia didn’t find their way back to each other and their lives have been more than chaotic, however Georgia’s career as a photographer brings her back to Willowhaven to capture the wedding of Wyatt and Harley and pretty soon matchmakers step in. The title of this book becomes apparent as they friction between Easton, who is now home and following his father’s career at Station 32, and Georgia is electric. They are both completely different people now after being hurt by harboured feelings for each other and the people they allowed into their lives. Easton has a huge secret that he tries to keep from Georgia while others are at play in letting Georgia in unwittingly on his secret.
Georgia realises that the thing in life she has both been chasing and running from may just lie in Willowhaven and with pushing from Memphis she takes time to take stock of her life as the town stirs memories of her father and childhood. Easton’s guarded attitude pushes Georgia into concentrating on finding herself first and discovering if Willowhaven is a place she can finally call home. The dreaded misunderstandings come into play every time you think these two may find some even ground then just as they do both of their pasts come back to haunt them. Once they confront their pasts they learn that their lives have been twisted together for some time but can they now move forward together?
I loved the messages and guidance that run through the book in the memories that they all have of Lucas and how he innocently led both Easton and Georgia through their broken paths to an unknowingly shared dream as a result. It was lovely catching up with many of the characters from the first book and I am really looking forward to Memphis and cheeky Truman getting their own books I hope.

Having the wrong things in common with the right girl at the wrong time has always been a tragic issue for Easton Ballantine. At least it was when it came to Georgia Armstrong.
Georgia Armstrong’s nomadic life had left her worn and lacking the desire to attach to anyone or anything. She’d been burned and felt the coldness of loss and was content to drift at will until she found a reason to stay.
Broken roads and bad decisions, which led to right ones, were the demons in both their past—choices that would either draw them together, or rip them apart.
“I tend to attract the broken.”
“I’m not broken,” Easton snapped in a hiss of words.
She felt her body tense before her next bold words came. “Did I say you were?” She lifted her chin. “Am I attracting you, Easton Ballantine?”
He looked right at her, green to blue, a stare reaching past the fraudulent calm surface. Yes, she was. Which only pissed him off more. Not only was she not anywhere near his type, she was Memphis’s kid sister, Lucas’s daughter—she was seventeen. No way in hell this is going down.
He smirked to break the gaze they shared, to put a wall between her and him—to do anything to block the way she was messing with his head.
“I’m every kind of bad habit you don’t want or need, Georgia.”
