Homecoming Heart; An overdue homecoming , a second chance at love, I have really come to enjoy the second chance stories and this book was no exceptionHomecoming Heart; An overdue homecoming , a second chance at love, I have really come to enjoy the second chance stories and this book was no exception. Emma Pierce left her home , her parents and her best freind Noah behind two years ago when she left Three Rivers to move to Denver to work with Regengade Racing, the offer was perfect timing, she needed to get away from Noah her heart needed a break, she was too invested and Noah was in a tailspin. Noah Baylor , has been in a downward spiral since loosing his brother and sister in law in a horrific car accident , and then the loss of his other sister in law to cancer he is finding solace at the bottom of the bottle and any willing women, unwittingly hurting Emma not realizing how much his best freinds feelings have changed for him and not realizing how much his own has changed for her till she was gone. Emma, after staying away for two years is brought home by her father being injured and help being needed in the home farm, she arrives to find the man she has tried to forget, getting off her Dad's tractor and pulling her into a warm embrace setting her body and mind to traitorous tingles only proving to her how little she has gotten over him. Noah's spent the last year trying to become a better man with the help of his brother Finn, a better man for Emma.
Noah and Emma , have issues and misunderstandings to work through but what you get is a lovely second chance romance, with a sexy cowboy in love with his best freind, a cute cowgirl with body image issues and more likely to run than face situations head on and some hot times between the two.
I have to also mention that Miss Lassiter writes these characters in such a way that you become absolutely immersed in the story and start t feel like part of the the Three Rivers Family, the story continuity and carry over from the first book to this keeps you up to date with the Baylor family and their affairs. I also admire Miss Lasiter for giving us. A female character with curves and a few extra pounds, after all we are all not a size two.

Three stars for "Maybe this Time", yes low for me but mostly because I had a hard time liking the heroine in this story. I wanted to, I should have , Three stars for "Maybe this Time", yes low for me but mostly because I had a hard time liking the heroine in this story. I wanted to, I should have , Jen Mackenzie is from the proverbial wrong side of the tracks ; she is stuck working tow part time jobs after loosing her full time that she loved due to financial concerns , her mom has cancer and she tries her best to be their and supportive for her mom to spite not having a great relationship to start with, to state it simply she is the underdog. I should like her , I should be rooting for her however the more I read the less I was. Why well Jenn 's attitude makes it hard to like her and hard to be sympathetic toward her. I believe the authors goal was to make her a likable character whom you are sympathetic toward while seeing her as a strong women trying to make her own way which I did see at times. Well enough ranting about what I did not care for , let's try what I did . I liked our hero Tj, who in all appearances has it better than Jenn, comes from a wealthy family , now has his own business with friends which employs Jenn which to spite Jenn's attraction to him is some of what makes her prickly toward him . However TJ's world is not all sunshine and roses he has issues to; a mother who drinks heavily a father who has been distant . TJ has had a crush on Jenn since high school so when he breaks it off with his current girlfriend and both he and Jenn are single he finally goes for it; but prickly Jenn does not make it easy for the guy who wants to give her everything . These two go back and forth and just when you think a happy ending may be looming an offer of a dream job for Jenn comes in a different state . Boom" like that your trapped in the story line yet again because you need to know will they get their hea. So yes hard heroine to like , a little wish washy but very likable hero but I still found myself engrossed in their hard won relationship story. Did I enjoy the story, overall all yes.

" Darkest Night", is the first book in Ms Thomas's series Sons of Broad Street and gets four solid stars from me. Ms Thomas has created a suspense fill" Darkest Night", is the first book in Ms Thomas's series Sons of Broad Street and gets four solid stars from me. Ms Thomas has created a suspense filled second chance romance story that centers around a wealthy Charleston family , The Benedicts. Unbeknownst to any of the Benedict brothers they have an enemy plotting their take down but not just financially the Villian is attacking on a personal level also. So for our two main characters Keaton Benedict and Tilly Brock their reburgeoning romance is consistently put to the test . Our Villian known only as The Gentleman has set in motion a plan to bring the Benedicts to their knees attacking Tilly's co- workers then ransacking her apartments forcing her to move in with Keaton. Then on another front the Villian goes after the two other Benedict boys and who they love . To further keep us on our toes Ms Thomas throws in Elisa Germain , former best freind to Tilly ; but now an enemy . Elise has designs On Keaton with large plans , such as making him her husband and she is not beyond blackmail to get what she wants. Throw into the mix a somewhat inept and possibly crooked Charleston PD. And the plot line gets just a little more twisted. The storyline certainley kept me reading , the hot sexy romance scenes between Keaton and Tilly kept the romance alive and the suspense of waiting for the next tragedy to strike moved the plot along. I truly enjoyed this story and just a warning since this is the first in a series we do not get a resolution on the Villian , so settle in for the long haul ; personally I am looking forward to reading the next story!
