Back from a break from college before he joins a minor league baseball team, Cole has a mind blowing night with Lizzie Barton. After a little over a month of emails and phone calls back and forth between them, Lizzie sends him an email breaking up with him. He goes berserk. After a night of getting drunk in a bar, Cole calls Lizzie and get rather demanding in wanting to know why she broke it off. He knew it was over when her brother, Bobby and his ex-best friend, told him not to call anymore. Th...more
Very fast paced of a story that spans over ten years, and then bam, it ends. While I can appreciate this as a very short read, a one-sitting read, there could've been so.much.more.
I can't even say that Cole was "hot" or whatever, just because we don't really get to know him, or really anyone in the story. The premise is a great one, kinda predictable, but that's okay. Always is okay with me.
The best way to describe it is a Lifetime movie squeezed into a 30 minute drama.

I am a huge fan of the Red Hot and Blue series by Cat Johnson so I was stoked to get to review her latest in the series. Although this story is short the author managed to get all of the important emotions that you normally see in a full length novel into this story without it seeming forced.

When I first started this short story, I didn't like I'd like Lizzie. She made selfish, thoughtless decisions when she was young and continued when she was a decade older, frustrating me, and the hero. Cole. But as the story wound on, the characters worked at each other, each admitting their faults and mistakes. It was an enjoyable read and a worthy continuation of the series. :)

This short made me more sad. I dislike stories where one parent has lost so much time in the raising of a child. While I don't completely think Lizzie was wrong, I don't feel she was right either. I'm on the fence about this one. I was, however, pleased that Cole is the kind of man who would not have run from commitment.
Is it possible to love and hate a book at the same time? I am in love with this series and I think Cole may now be one of my favorites! However they are sooooo short! I want to know so much more. My imagination is not good enough.
Quickie Review:
This is a really short read, so I thought I would do a quickie review for it.
Overall, I liked the story and thought it was fun and entertaining. I liked the little town feel and need to go back and read all the rest from this series because I think they would have more impact as a whole. My only real issue with this one is that I thought Cole was way too quick to forgive and forget. I could understand trying to make the transition easier for their son, but I thought there needed t...more

Set once again in Pigeon Hollow, this is the story of Lizzie and Cole. Cole is Bobby's best friend and Lizzie is Bobby's younger sister. Nice, sweet story with an HEA.
My only complaint with this book is that I wish it could've been longer. There was so much more that should have been said or done with the relationship between Cole and Lizzie. But all in all I really liked this book and can't wait for the next in the series.
This is my favorite of this series!!! I loved it just so heart warming! Cat did an amazing job getting me in to both of their life's!
This series just keeps getting better, but the books are too short! Give me more!
Great characters and even better chemistry.

I really enjoyed this book. I was really mad at Lizzie but at the same time understood the reasons she did what she did.
Really liked this book.
Awww... this one was darn sweet! At first I thought Cole was a jerk for how he treated Lizzy, but he was young I guess. And a little dumb, lol. I can't believe they both carried the torch for ten years, but I love that fate brought them back together as it did. And I thought that once Lizzie got over her insecurities, they had the cutest relationship. Adorable couple.

I wish this book woulda been longer. We really didn't even get to know Cole and it's a shame, i think he had potential.

It all started in first grade when Cat Johnson won the essay contest at Hawthorne Elementary School and got to ride in the Chief of Police's car in the Memorial Day Parade...and the rest, as they say, is history. As an adult, Cat generally tries to stay out of police cars and is thrilled to be writing for a living. She has been published under a different name in the Young Adult genre, but release...more
