Publisher Description
The charming and uplifting new novel from the legendary author of dozens of unforgettable romances! Travel to the small town of Honey Creek where ties run deep and happiness is just around the next river bend…
“Satisfying…It’s the novel’s patchwork of tender, slow-building relationships between quirky, caring characters that keeps the pages turning. Readers will be pleased.”
—Publishers Weekly
Marcie Latimer longs to run away from Someday Valley—especially since her ex-boyfriend spun a web of lies that almost led to tragedy in neighboring Honey Creek. Little wonder so many locals have turned their backs on her. But not Brand Rodgers. The quiet cowboy comes to listen every time she sings at Bandit’s Bar, offering a glimpse of safety and calm that Marcie’s rarely known.
After Texas Ranger Colby McBride saved Honey Creek’s mayor, Piper Mackenzie, from a fire, she claimed him with a kiss. That was five months ago, and Colby still isn’t sure where they’re headed. Piper loves her town—but does she love Colby? And is he even ready for what comes next?
Pecos Smith, Honey Creek’s emergency dispatcher, is grateful to have a new bride he adores and a baby on the way—even if one vital piece of the puzzle is missing. But as trouble comes stalking through the valley, lives will cross surprising paths. And Marcie, who’s always felt that a forever love was out of reach, might discover that Someday is the perfect place to find it . . .
“Compelling and beautifully written.”
—Debbie Macomber on Ransom Canyon
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
With the satisfying second Honey Creek romance, Thomas further develops two relations begun in Breakfast at the Honey Creek Café and adds several appealing new characters and story lines. Returning readers will enjoy revisiting Pecos Smith—a kind, hardworking 20-year-old, now married to his pregnant childhood friend, Kerri, but still unsure of where their relationship stands—and becoming reacquainted with ambitious Mayor Piper Mackenzie and her maybe-boyfriend, the equally career-focused Texas Ranger Colby McBride, though this time the drama revolves around their ineffectual communication skills, which will leave many frustrated. New subplots include a developing friendship between "homely" widower Jesse Keaton, a farmer raising three kids, and the town baker, Adalee Summers. Thomas also makes time for the budding romance between two inhabitants of nearby Someday Valley: Marcie Latimer, a down-on-her-luck musician living in a trailer park, and reclusive cowboy Brand Rodgers. While the main plot hinges loosely on a cartoonishly sadistic stranger's obsession with Marcie, it's the novel's patchwork of tender, slow-building relationships between quirky, caring characters that keeps the pages turning. Readers will be pleased.
Customer Reviews
Suspense & romance!
A little trigger warning for anyone with DV PTSD but such a great read!! Twists, suspense & love wrappers in one!! Very good!! Highly recommend this series!
HORRIBLE
There is no reason this book needed the description multiple times of what the bad guy plans to do to the women he kidnapped!!!!
Hard to get into
I found this book hard to hold my interest until about halfway through. It has short chapters, each about 1 of several main characters. That was off putting. Eventually, the stories started interweaving & it got better.
