Rustic Hearts (Poplar Falls, #1)

by Amber Kelly

Real love survives time and distance. It doesn’t need to be constantly reassured. It just is.

Falling in love is the easy part, the fun part. It’s staying in love that’s hard.

I guess that’s just how it goes with true friendship. No matter how long you’re apart, you can pick back up the second you find your way back to each other. No anger. No resentment. No explanations or apologies needed.

“You’re in my bed tonight, Princess. Get rid of him.” Then, I dart off into the barn.

Love is defined by choice. If there were only one option, then you are just that—the only option. Choosing to love another person in spite of all the other options available … that’s the part that makes it special. That’s the part that makes it all worth it. I chose her, but she didn’t choose me. That’s our love story in a nutshell.”
