About the Book:
For Sierra Jones, Sullivan's Crossing is meant to be a brief stopover. She's put her troubled past behind her but the path forward isn't yet clear. A visit with her big brother Cal and his new bride, Maggie, seems to be the best option to help her get back on her feet.
Not wanting to burden or depend on anyone, Sierra is surprised to find the Crossing offers so much more than a place to rest her head. Cal and Maggie welcome her into their busy lives and she quickly finds herself bonding with Sully, the quirky campground owner who is the father figure she's always wanted. But when her past catches up with her, it's a special man and an adorable puppy who give her the strength to face the truth and fight for a brighter future. In Sullivan's Crossing Sierra learns to cherish the family you are given and the family you choose.
My Comments:
Robyn Carr has another winner here. I loved Sierra and cheered for her as she got her life together. Connie, her male love interest was a real sweetheart with just the right amount of masculinity--and who wouldn't love a cute puppy?
I liked watching Sierra reclaim her life after an abusive relationship but found the resolution of that plot line to be somewhat unrealistic.
Most of the time romance novels are about young adults just getting started in life, which I guess is because hopefully by the time people are middle-aged, they've met someone and settled into life together. Still, as someone who is on the far side of 40, I like seeing "older" couples and this book features one.
For those who like small town romances where everyone knows everyone, Any Day Now by Robyn Carr fits the bill if you don't mind a little steam.
I'd like to thank the publisher for making a review copy available via NetGalley. Grade: B+
I like this series and thought this was a really good read. It was easy to cheer for Sierra - a great character.
