The house next door to the one Luck Harris is renovating belongs to Janie Corbett and her three children. They get off on the wrong foot when Luke’s dog scares Janie’s little girl, but it’s just as well. Janie’s had no time for men since the death of her undependable ex-husband.

Lila has as much reason for disillusionment as Brody, but love doesn't equal loss to her. Can Brody find the courage to try really living again? Cara Colter's His Mistletoe Bride (4.5) has everything: wonderful characters, humor and emotional depth. It also has a great ending."

well written, perfectly paced and contains characters that are
real and likable.
With just the right dose of humor and drama, Pamela Yaye's story
compels from beginning to end. First-grade teacher Makayla Stevens
is having a hard time dealing with 5-year-old terror Terrance Blake,
and his high-strung mother is too much for her. Enter the boy's
sexy uncle, Kenyon Blake, who Makayla has had a crush on since
she was
an overweight teenager. Kenyon is strongly attracted to Makayla,
and concerned about his nephew. He works overtime to get them both
past their fears and reticence about relationships."
Linda

TO LOVE. RT says: "
Kate Bradshaw needs to get the spring planting done, but with two
small children and no one else available she doesn't know if she
can. Drifter Hatcher Jones agrees to help out in exchange for food.
Jones keeps to himself, fearing that his quick temper will get someone
hurt like it did before. When the sheriff arrests him for stealing,
Kate hires an attorney to defend him. Soon they realize they have
feelings for each other but are dancing around them like two farm
chickens. Set in Depression-era South Dakota, Linda Ford's The Road
to Love (4) is a story with tenderness, forgiveness and redemption."
