No Egrets
I’m just the guy with the goat. I keep to myself and have ever since I moved to Tuft Swallow. I have no interest in making friends. I came here to escape my life, not fill it with nosy neighbors who want to know everything about me. Is it lonely? Yeah. It is. But after more than ten years, I’m used this punishment. I get by just fine. That is, until a complete stranger shows up at my front door, soaking wet and lost. Paige Starling. She’s like a feral pigeon. Docile. Curious. And not afraid of a stranger. The more I see her, or spend time in her presence, the more I’m attracted to her. Her sense of humor, her compassion for others, her genuine smile, and her proclivity for finding herself in compromising situations reminds me of the life I once had. The life I’ve grieved for years. Paige is the breath of fresh air I’ve been longing for. She’s my pigeon. I know it in my soul. But she’s only in town for the summer, which means if I have any hope of a future with her, I have to let her in. I have to share my past, forgive myself, and be willing to let go and move forward.

Ratings and reviews
<div>Paige is driving over her aunt and uncle's antique shop to watch over it while they're on vacation. While on her way there she almost hits a goat. She doesn't want anything to happen to this goat so she walks him to who she thinks is his owner's house. This is the beginning of what some would call love at first sight but it's more than that, it's fate.</div><div> </div><div>I didn't like that Bran calls Paige *Pigeon* at first but once I knew the meaning why it grew on me. It's cute how Bran wanted to talk to Paige but didn't know how. Paige is quite chatty, especially when she's nervous. Bran wanting to make sure everyone's tires are filled makes me smile and want to cry at the same time. When someone goes through a traumatic event it changes them. When Paige and Bran stare at each other I need to fan myself. The ending was great! </div><div> </div><div>I really like this. It's so sweet and heartbreaking. I laughed and cried. Susan always knows what we need. I can't wait to see what else she comes up with. </div>
