Half my Heart by Danielle StewartDevin and Rebecca high school sweethearts that went array somewhere and Devin gets pinned for a murder he did not commit. He served nine years for that murder. He doesn't know why but he was released thru the innocence project. He wants to go back to see he the town destroyed by buying land and putting a landfill in getting rid of the sheriff, who happens to be the father of the boy who was murdered, and who pinned the murder on him. Rebecca had written to him in prison telling him of the life she led, that she got out of Clover, married with a child. In reality he finds her as a bartender with her child sleeping in the back, hard on times, working days at the diner no less.. Her boyfriend is a low life that takes her rent money for drugs.. Devin offers help to relocate them to another city town, country somewhere from the boyfriend. She flatly refuses. In the course of a week, they do begin to rekindle some romance but only and if only he reconsiders the plan he has to destroy the town. Slowly he is melting away as Adeline the little girl begins to look up at him. The Sheriff is starting to get dangerous and their lives are at stake so he whisks them to the mountains for safety but makes a call ahead of time to make it a winter wonderland for Adeline first and to have a visit from Santa as well. Rebecca tells Devin if he continues with this plan there is no US..hmmmmm..what ever will he do. Loved this and can't wait to read the follow up! Great job Danielle!!Loved this new Clover series!Starts where Half a Heart leaves us at the mountain cabin where they celebrated Christmas and Devin takes off for his town meeting in Clover. Jordan shows up who is the one they have to convince they no longer want a trash dump in Clover but a recycle maybe in its place. Main thing is to get Hoyle the Sheriff stripped of his title and authority. There is allot of stranger danger since Hoyle doesnt goes down quietly. Nick who grew up in Clover is a Marshal and is now in charge of Clover and it's safety until Jordan can get more Security in place. There is so many what if's and how's. Rebecca isn't sure of Devin and how sincere he really is in changing from destroying Clover to saving Clover. She does know that he is trying to keep her and Adeline save however. Adeline worships Debin as she calls him, and he is smitten with the kid as well. It's a real page turner and laugh out loudas well. You will soon come to love these characters Click, Nick, Jordan, Luke and Jeannie and a few others.Talk about cliff hanger!Great job Danielle.. Can't wait for the third book!!!!!!!!!
