My rating: 💛💛💛💛
This was a sweet contemporary romance in a small town, about people with struggles and past hurt. I loved how the love for a child brought people together.
What I love about small town settings is, yes, everyone knows your business, but in times of need, everyone comes together and unite as a community.
I enjoyed my visit in Thunder Creek and look forward to my next visit in book two.

About the book:
In a small town in Idaho’s idyllic wine country where the past looms large, can two people realize their individual dreams for the future … together?
Abandoned once too often, Brooklyn Myers never intended to return to Thunder Creek, Idaho. Her hometown holds too many memories of heartache and rejection. But when her estranged husband Chad Hallston dies and leaves his family home and acreage to her and their ten-year-old daughter Alycia, it's an opportunity to change their lives for the better—a chance Brooklyn can't pass up, for Alycia's sake if not her own.
Derek Johnson, Chad's best friend since boyhood, isn't keen on the return of Brooklyn Myers to Thunder Creek. He still blames her for leading his friend astray. And now she has ruined his chance to buy the neighboring ten acres which would have allowed him to expand his organic farm. To add insult to injury, Chad's dying request was that Derek become the father to Alycia that Chad never was. How can he keep that promise without also spending time with the girl’s mother?
Brought together by unexpected circumstances, Derek and Brooklyn must both confront challenges to their dreams and expectations. He must overcome long held misconceptions about Brooklyn while she must learn to trust someone other than herself. And if they can do it, they just might discover that God has something better in mind than either of them ever imagined.

Robin Lee Hatcher is such a good author. I need to find this book because she writes such heartwarming books
ReplyDeleteShe does and I have only discovered her recently, so I still have a lot of her books to catch up on.
DeleteI didn't enjoy this one as much as you did. It was just "ok" for me. I will try more books by her though.
