The call has come that Hannah never wanted to receive, the one telling her that her mother's condition has worsened to the point where she can't be by herself any longer. So now she's home. It's not just her mom's deteriorating mind she'll have to face, but the boy, now a beautiful man, she left behind to chase her music dreams. How will she ever get through this, where at every turn Matthew is there, reminding her with his presence of all she lef ...more

I've read a few book by Lauren Runow and have liked all of them. And I really liked Hannah and Mathew. This story is really believable. They were high school sweethearts until they weren't. Now 5 years have passed and a lot has happened since they saw each other. She is on the verge of becoming the next big thing in country music while he's building a reputation as a great coach.

We are back in Mason Creek, and this author is growing on me. I discovered her from this series and have now read several of her books outside the series. I love her characters, and her books are anything but cookie cutter. Her stories embrace your heart and do not let go.
Matthew and Hannah are the perfect young couple in love, but both have dreams. His is baseball, and hers is discovered in the book's pages. As they separate, time brings them back together. Will they get their second c ...more

It's always a great day when I get to visit Mason Creek again as I LOVE it there, and Lauren Runow really gave me a fantastic trip with this second chance romance. Hannah & Matthew were high school sweethearts who had planned a future together after high school but things turned on a dime. Hannah was given an opportunity to chase her dreams so she broke up with him, and it was five years before they came face to face again. She was called home because of things happening with her mother, so she

Hannah fell in love with Matthew when she was a teenager and thought nothing could tear them apart until their dreams for the future led them in different directions. Years later a family situation has her returning to her hometown and reuniting with the man who has always owned her heart.
The love that Matthew had for Hannah was selfless so as much as it hurt he wasn’t about to stand in the way of the future she wanted. When they find themselves in the same place at the same time will this be th ...more

Having read Ms.Runow’s work many times before, including Perfect Song i was so happy when i found out about this book! With every teaser, it had me looking forward to it more and more. I picked it up and got right back into the Mason Creek world! I so enjoyed this story!

A second change romance that is heartfelt and heartbreaking all bundled together into a beautifully written story. In a way I can see this as a spin off of Perfect Song since Matthew is Tucker’s son but simply enjoyable as a standalone too. Hannah and Matthew are both chasing their own dreams individually with the love they share for one another and it’s absolutely inspiring to witness all they go through. A connection easily develops with everyone in this story as a reader, you become glued to

Let's start with what I loved. Hannah's journey with her mom. While it was heartbreaking, it was powerful and nothing but truth. I've went through something similar on a smaller scale and Runow describes it perfectly. This part of the story is what had me invested throughout.
Now for Hannah herself. She came off extremely selfish to me. Maybe it's my personal biases, but I couldn't forgive her for leaving Matthew. Which then made me annoyed with Matthew for letting her back in after she ...more

Perfect Someday is a heartfelt second chance romance. This is a story about a love that neither distance nor time could destroy. The story follows Matthew and Hannah, high school sweethearts who go their separate ways after high school to follow their dreams, although dreams don't usually work out as you'd expect.
I liked both characters and I kept rooting for them throughout the story. The story was filled with friends and family and will take you on a bit of an emotional roller-coaster ride. ...more

This is the first book I have read by this author and don't think it'll be my last one. It's also part of the Mason Creek series which is also one of the first books I've read and made me curious to the other characters. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Hannah & Matthew but it also touched on some issues that are very relevant in people's lives. A great read and I really do love small town romances!

I want to cry over the suffering. I want to swoon over the statement of love and determination that still has my heart all a twitter. I want it all, because it was amazing the first time around.

"Follow your personal dreams before you can be each other's dreams" What beautiful words and sound advice from a father to his son. This book was so beautiful and heartbreaking all at once.

I won't spoil it for anyone but once you know all the feels you get from reading this book make so much sense. As I 've come to expect this book was beautifully written with amazing
