It is so exciting I think to be able to read a novel from a debut author and on top of that it is a beginning of a series which I so enjoy. It is triple rewarding when you are finished (which was accomplished in a day) left well sated for a minute mind you because you know must read the next one in this series. Emma was such a wonderful character that this author has breathed to life that starts you on a wonderful journey. Being a single parent myself could connect with her on sacrifices she made to raise her sister. But now her sister has met the man of life and it is Emma's time in a way too. Time to choose something for just herself and immerse herself in it. Laurie has set her up on a date but also to meet others along with her boyfriend Rob. Jake has agreed but goofs up right off the bat, delightful scene by the way. This town is similar to what I grew up in so it made this so easy to connect with the talent of this author. They are all surprised at how young she still is but then she tells their story. Jake is quite the man also-alpha through and through. Takes care of his mom also and does not view it as a burden, a man after my own heart. Being a detective also is quite the career of a man I enjoy reading about. So when she mentions the house she is to look at and maybe buy he is not about to let her go alone because it has been vacant for quite awhile. It just so happens later that evening he appoints himself her protector even when she says she can take care of herself. Sheesh glad there wasn't any arguments there. So this author has definitely hooked you by now and not letting go but where would you go it is so good. Their relationship builds filled with heat that if it was any hotter you would burn your seat. Little occurrences start happening that create intrigue which is another plus this book has to give. Fast pace with a wonderful flow that when you find out all the why's and who done its that is where the man this was wonderful comes in. A must read to find out why it is that Emma is finally home and the wonderful characters introduced to and come to love. A wonderful gift from this author that will satisfy any one needing a fix of romance.
