Blurb:
Dani Davis just wants a place to call home.
With lovable-but-quirky town folks, quaint country charm, and loads of business
potential, Miller's Creek, Texas seems like the perfect place to start
over...except for the cowboy who gives her a ride into town. She secretly
finances renovations to the downtown area until malicious rumors and a
devastating discovery propel her down a road she never expected to travel.
Steve Miller is determined to rescue his dying
hometown. When vandals jeopardize the renovation, he can’t help but suspect
Dani, whose strange behavior has become fodder for local gossips. Can Steve and
Dani call a truce for a higher cause, and in the process help Dani recognize
the true meaning of home?
Donna's Review:
The book started off great. I was really excited at having
found a new author, especially one that could construct sentences that didn't
hurt my head. However, shortly into it, it began to lag a bit. It did pick up
at the end, but in between there were times I could have read or not read.
Still, while an enjoyable read for the most
part, I did not like the fact the only real reason Dani and Steve were
separated the entire novel was due to more or less a simple
misunderstanding(s). Because they each are absorbed in their own issues, they
never really confront the other person and, as a result, they never really
tackle their relationship . Because of this, the plot is weakened, whereas bringing
a couple's issues front and center, and having them deal with them, provides
loads of conflict and actually drives the story forward.
This is also a typical Christian novel where
one person isn't a Christian and comes to accept Christ as their savior. While
not overkill for readers of that genre, those that do not like to read this
kind will find it trite (in the sense it's typical of this genre) and
irritating near the end.
Four roses for this one for an easy, enjoyable
read that is well plotted and sweet but not necessarily memorable.
