Meant for Each Other by Lee Duran

<3 <3 <3 <3

Summary:

Frankie Hale doesn't believe in love at first sight… until she meets Johnny Davis. And hours after that first meeting, he carves their initials into a tree, joining them forever. If only it were so easy.

From the very beginning, their on-again, off-again romance makes them the talk of their small Missouri town. It's clear that Frankie and Johnny are meant to be together, so why do they have to struggle to make this relationship work? Or are they learning the hard way that a love worth having takes a lifetime to build? 

Review:  Frankie and Johnny take the saying "if at first you don't succeed try, try again"to a whole new level.  This young couple meets in the 60's and carries on an endearing romance that will tie the reader to them and root for they as a family, and as a couple to win in the end.  Through life changing "brownie moments", and teenage mistakes that are all too real for teens in any era this heart warming story will tug at your heart strings as a reader, and keep you up at night so don't make long term evening plans if you pick up the book after seven pm ;).  Frankie might be straight laced, and Johnny might be more of a show man but one thing that they never lose sight of is their love for each other. It does get tested, but in the end you cannot change what is "meant to be" ;)
