What happens when you do go home again? 

One mistake cost Josh Hunter almost everything. Burning his bridges was easier than coming home. Yet here he is, eight years—and one family crisis—later, back in his Pennsylvania town playing unlikely rescuer to a blizzard-stranded stranger. 

Local newscaster Wendy Valentine is looking for the story that will make her name as a serious journalist. The tragic secret Josh is concealing could be her stepping-stone. Funny then that Wendy seems more interested in the sizzling personal dynamics playing out between them! 

Between The Pages
This sweet romance is packed with emotion. Family struggles and a captivating cast make this story a page-turner. The character development is well done for both Josh and Wendy. Their chemistry and relationship is tested as they deal with their own inner torments. Josh’s secret is spellbinding, and the only scene I felt went missing from this story is Josh’s revealing talk with Hank, which would have been an additional emotional grab. An Allegheny Homecoming is the second book in Home to Bear Meadows series. I will definitely be looking to read book three, Deal of a Lifetime.

Wanted: The Perfect Mom

His daughter deserves the best. 

Police chief John "Mac" McAndrews is on a mission to find the perfect mother for his daughter. Someone who will stay home, welcome his child after school and bake cookies. Obviously, Holly Hoffman is not that woman. She's still as feisty, independent and headstrong as she'd been when they were teenagers. And she's just spent every last dime opening the Wildflower coffee bar. Mac would never ask her to give up her brand-new business. Still, he can't help dropping by the shop whenever he gets the chance, fanning old flames he should be dousing instead. 

Between The Pages
A sweet romance filled with friction, family, and fun. What a nice introduction to Bear Meadows. The town welcomes you with open arms. Both main characters, Mac and Holly, are enjoyable, as are the secondary characters of family members and town residents. The story has an emotional kick, but two particular scenes stood out as my favourites…when Holly and her father have a heart-to-heart will bring a tear to your eye, and when Mac is getting an eye-opener from Holly’s brother, Chris, will make you smile. There’s an added mystery of break-ins to add to the mix. Even if you’re not a coffee lover, this story will have you craving a frothy skinny latte.
