Description from the publisher:

Welcome to Serendipity, Texas, where the days are hot and the nights are steamy. Meet real people with real problems, as they live life and find love in a small town.

12 years ago, Brent walked away from his one big love, and has regretted it ever since. He’s done nothing but make mistake after mistake with his life. Now, he’s finally getting his act together, starting up a sanctuary for abused and neglected horses, and staying clean.

Casey had put Brent out of her mind the best way she knew how, by going on with her own life: getting married and trying to have kids. When her marriage ends up being a mistake, she moves back in with her mother in Serendipity to lick her wounds. What she doesn’t expect is Brent, waltzing back into her life.

Can they put their own and each other’s mistakes behind them to move forward together? When Casey’s life is put in danger, Brent steps up, but will it be enough?

My Mistake is book seven in the Stories of Serendipity. You will meet some of the same characters, but they are all stand-alone novels.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is the seventh book in the Stories of Serendipity series, but it is the first that I have read. It does stand alone.

I absolutely loved this story. I like animals, but I was never one of those girls that went horse crazy, so that wasn’t the appeal. Brent’s care for his dog, Mooch, and the horses he is rehabilitating is palpable. Even more so, is the love he has had for Casey since they were children. A love that has endured, unrequited, for both of them through all that they have been through in the last twelve years.

I couldn’t help but relate to Casey in this story. She was a good wife, but the marriage had ended. Her ex-husband blamed her for the problems in their marriage. Fortunately, for me, that is the end of the commonality. It was a bad coincidence that the end of my own marriage came while I was reading this story. I didn’t think I could read romance this week, but the truth is that I do still believe in love and I am happy to see someone else be happy. I can only hope that I find my ‘Brent.’ The story is well-written and compelling. I found myself lost in the lives of Brent and Casey, laughing, crying, and holding my breath right alongside them.

I have loved all of the books that I have read from Ms. Conley and will continue to read as quickly as she can create.
