Cal Burke "just wanted to be alone with his anger and his guilt." He has become fond of Andrea's family and now rents their barn for his furniture building business, but why did he quit practicing law?
This is a "Love Inspired" inspirational romance, but the author doesn't preach, which I appreciate. It is a well-written, entertaining story with likable characters and a good plot.
Book Beginning:
She had to get to the hospital. Andrea Hampton's fingers tightened on the steering wheel as that call from the Pennsylvania State Police replayed in her mind in an endless loop. Her sister had been struck by a hit-and-run driver while walking along a dark country road--like this one. They didn't know how badly she was injured.
Friday 56 (from 56% on my Kindle):
A quick jerk of his hand pulled her close to him, and he lowered his head to speak so no one could hear. "A few of the old-timers don't like the idea of another inn opening, increasing the tourist traffic in town."

Sounds like it has a bit of romance, too. Oo-la-la. Anne @ My Head is Full of Books
ReplyDeleteIt does! I enjoy reading almost all levels of "heat" in the romance genre. Since this book is inspirational, there's no sex or profanity.
DeleteThat sure is a compelling beginning!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for mentioning my book, Sandra. And I appreciate the mention of A Recipe for Romance. It's just out this week, and all the proceeds from sales will go to children's charities, so I'm especially excited about this project.

It was a good story--warm and just perfect for this holiday season.
DeleteI do love the sound of this one, Sandra...and that cover is engaging! Thanks for sharing and enjoy.
ReplyDeleteHere's mine: “WALKING ON TRAMPOLINES”
This sounds interesting. I have an aunt who lives in Lancaster Co so that's a little extra enticement. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the book's setting as well as the story and characters.
DeleteI've had this on my kindle for ages! I should move it up.
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!
It's a good story. You'll enjoy it.
DeleteLove the cover. Could a car that looks like that really run someone down? :)
ReplyDeleteI love Lancaster...so quaint. I am sure the book is enjoyable.
Have a great weekend, and thanks for sharing. Thanks for coming by my blog.

Sexual tension, anyone? I'm already loving it.
ReplyDeleteSounds interesting! :D
ReplyDeleteHi Sandra,
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like the kind of journey that no-one wants to make, especially as it sounds as though Andrea is travelling alone, with just her thoughts and worries for company.
I love the hint of menace in your 56. I wonder if Andrea is going to stand for this kind of veiled threat or not!
Thanks for sharing your excerpts this week and I am pleased that you enjoyed the book,
Yvonne
What a wonderful #56 and steamy intro for us. I think I would like this one, especially knowing the proceeds for a worthy cause and a yummy recipe is enclosed. Thanks for sharing this one.
ReplyDeleteI love the Love Inspired Harlequin books. Always just the right touch of steam and suspense!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend!
Nice excerpts--they really make me want to read this one.
ReplyDeleteI definitely want to read this one. It sounds great.
ReplyDeleteOh! What a tragic way to start a book.

You know, I live not too far from an Amish community, but I don't think I've every read a Amish book....
ReplyDeleteI just actually finished reading a novel with a "hit-and-run" prose too! I hope you are enjoying your read :)
