It was a very good read though i was a little disappointed cause their love was so deep and heart warming but the re-union was rushed for me,but overall a good read

He'd planned on spending the rest of his life with Charley, but when he returned home, he found her uncle waiting for him with an ultimatum that forced him to leave town without explaining why to Charley.

Disappointing is the first word that comes to mind and that is mainly because
The Sweet Gum Tree by Katherine Allred, is one of my favorite books and this can't hold a candle to it. It amazes me that is the same author. It started out cute with a plot I have seen before. Cole and Charley were in love and each other's soul mates when they were young. At age 20 Cole asks Charley to marry him, she loses her virginity and the next day he disappears never to be heard of again for 10 years. The...more

This story is about Cole and Charley and what happened ten years ago to make Cole leave town after he proposed to Charley and made love to her. He's now back in town and has a whole plan of how to win Charley over.
I really liked this story. Like I've mentioned in all my reviews of Katherine Allred's books, she really makes you connect with the characters on an emotional level. She also details everything so you can really "see" it.

It actually started pretty good. It was written from alternating POV's and that was quite a treat. But then at the 80% mark, or close to it, there was an interesting turn in the story that turned me off and then it went downhill for me. Almost like a lifetime movie gone to potty...I ended up rushing through the book to get to my HEA. Maybe other readers may appreciate this better than me.
Rating Clarification 3.5 Stars. This book just didn't do it for me. After reading What Price Paradise I was hoping for another 5 star awesome read. Don't get me wrong the book wasn't bad just not my favorite. It was like it was just lacking something. I am not sure what that is but maybe if I figure it out i will update my thoughts on here. A good read but not great.
I found this story to be similar in vague ways to
the Sweet Gum Tree.
Really this was disappointing because it didn't have
the same appeal as the latter book.
As much as I loved the Sweet Gum tree I found this
one to be lacking in many department. Surprising
it's actually written by the same author.

I read the Sweet Gum Tree and was captivated by this author's writing! I loved it and really enjoyed this book too. The main characters are great and I loved the history they share that is revealed throughout the book! I can't wait to read Katherine Allred's other books! Consider me a fan!!
Cole Jordan is one hell of a man, I can not imagine walking away from the love of you life because of one of her family members. Charley was heartbroken for 10 years and never knew the truth. To love someone for a decade and never see them or never try again is so crazy.
Definitely another great book. I really enjoyed this book. This is the third book by Katherine that I have read and I have to say they are all wonderful reads. Great story lines and loveable characters. Would definitely recommend this book:)

Another great book from Katherine Allred! All of her books have sweet, likable characters that make your heart melt and this one didn't disappoint!
apart for 10 years, the hero has never forgotten the heroine. finally he makes it back home to prove that he was worthy of her love
With Sweet Gum Tree as my favorite, "For the Love of Charley" was a nice read also. A good love story and mystery all in one.
not as perfect as sweet gum tree but still like it.....=) changed it to three stars....
it was a good book but a bit rushed for my taste...i mean Cole left charley for 10 years not 10 mins...she just forgave him and jumped straight into bed...
