As the manager of a local bar, The Corral, Sharlie Montgomery has put the past behind her. That is until Logan Reed walks back into her life, turning her world upside down. His presence brings back painful reminders of the past: the love they had once shared, the money he took from her father, and the baby she’d given up for adoption.
Logan wants to buy The Corral, and he’s come back to town to prove he was able to make it on his own without the Montgomery money.
Sparks fly whenever Sharlie and Logan are together. Anger, fear, and jealousy aren’t enough to erase the love they once felt for each other. But is love enough? Logan wants a family - the one thing Sharlie can’t give him.
Logan's strong arm encircled her waist, preventing her from falling. Sharlie caught her breath as her body pressed against him. She raised her eyes to his. The anger in his eyes turned to awareness. His breath hitched. The temperature in the tiny room rose.
Logan's gaze roamed every inch of her face, finally coming to rest on her lips.
Her pulse quickened, the beat thundering in her ears. They were so close she could feel the cadence of his heart. She sucked in a gasp of air.
His gaze met hers again. "I've tried to stop thinking about you like this. But I can't."
Sharlie licked dry lips, then cursed inwardly when the action drew his attention there once more. His head lowered.
"Don't," she managed.
"Don't what?" Logan's warm breath caressed her cheek.
"Don't kiss me."
"Why not?"
"Because I don't want you to." Even to her own ears the protest sounded weak.
"Liar," Logan taunted.
"Please," she tried one last time, shaking her head in a vain attempt to deny the feelings coursing through her.
Logan cupped the back of her head, stilling the motion. "I have to." His words melted into a kiss as their lips met.
The gentle insistence of his mouth coaxed a response from her. Her lips parted, allowing the kiss to deepen. Their breath mingled. The moist heat made her knees buckle.
"Don't you remember?" Logan's husky voice whispered, as his lips left hers to trail down the column of her throat. "Remember how good it was," he murmured before his mouth captured hers once again.

Review:
Sharlie Montgomery ran away from her past when she took a job working at The Corral. Twelve years later she is the manager and her past is revisiting her in the form of Logan Reed, turning her world on its ear. Logan’s presence brings back haunting memories of their time together, his betrayal and the decision she regrets the most in her life. Logan came back to town to prove that he made it without the Montgomery money. Sharlie and Logan are both angry about the check her father gave Logan until they have as chance to talk and find out the truth about what happened twelve years ago. But Logan has always wanted a big family and Sharlie can’t give him one. Will love be enough to overcome the lies and misunderstanding?
Lies, anger and pride kept Sharlie and Logan apart. Friends, hope and enduring love are what eventually bring them back together. This Time for Always by Debra St. John is a nice story about the lasting qualities of love. I figured out pretty quick that who was the bad guy and what Sharlie's secret was (it was hard to miss), but I still enjoyed reading this book. I like the happily ever after ending and was glad to see the conflict between Sharlie and Zach resolved. Wondering what I’m talking about? Go read the book.
