Need You Now is the story of Brandon Evans & Lilly Preston. Both characters are carrying a lot of excess emotional baggage from the past with them. This baggage affects every decision they make. Brandon, his brother Will & friend Sam are determined to make a success of their business to try to help their hometown. The town has been steadily going downhill since Brandon turned in his father for unethical practices & the mine closed. The town has unfairly blamed the brothers for everything instead of their father.

Lily carries baggage from her childhood & her mother/father. It has completely warped her view of love & relationships. She has an over developed sense of responsibility towards her sister & nephew. From the minute Lily & Brandon meet there is an intense chemistry between them. Can they move past their baggage or will it hold them back? When an event causes Lily to draw into herself, will Brandon abandon her or stick by her side?

I enjoyed the interactions between Lily & Brandon and between each of them & their siblings. They are trying to find a new stage of sibling relationship under the different circumstances. The way the author describes the scenery, the reader can create a picture in their mind. I enjoyed this one & cant wait for Sam's story! ( )
