Synopsis: All roads lead home in Snowberry Creek…
After a devastating tour in Afghanistan, all Spencer Lang wants is for life to return to normal. But when he rides into his hometown on his Harley, he learns that his friends and family have tried to move past their heartbreak since he was reported killed-in-action—and the woman he loved is about to marry his best friend. Now, all he can do is pick up the pieces of his life.
Years ago Melanie Wolfe left town, with no intention of ever coming back. But when her father dies, she reluctantly returns home to salvage the family business. Reuniting with Spencer, her high school crush, complicates the already thorny situation, especially when she begins losing her heart to him all over again.
As Spencer and Melanie work to restore order to her family’s company, two damaged hearts face an unexpected new future that is filled with possibilities…and love.
I'm new to this author, but I understand a lot of people are coming to this series after reading her other one which is in a completely different genre. As a noob I had no such expectations, and am pleasantly surprised by what I found. These small town/ex military contemporary romances can sometimes be a bit too gentle in their pacing for my liking, but not this one. I really enjoyed the plot and the added complications of everyone in Snowberry Creek believing main character Spencer was dead! Including the childhood sweetheart everyone assumed he would marry, who is now about to marry his best friend. Oops!
Melanie Wolfe is a familiar face, but not one Spencer's ever known very well. When hers is the first face he sees on his return to town, it turns out it couldn't have been a more fortuitous meeting. They simply sizzle when they're together! And Melanie has always had a secret soft spot for him. But with Spencer's many issues and Melanie's financial woes, it's a relationship not without complications. I really enjoyed the way everything went down, and even had a wee tear in my eye at the end. Good stuff! :)
I didn't read the first two books in this series, but I'm thinking I would like to just to meet this awful uncle I heard so much about. I'm surprised I didn't meet him in this one, to be honest, since it was mostly his fault no one knew Spence wasn't actually dead. Therefore my recommendation is to not do what I did and jump in at book three, but to go back to the beginning like a good little series reader!
A very sweet 4 stars! ★★★★
