A HEART RESTORED
She renovates old houses. Can he restore her heart?
Deidre McIntyre didn't exactly purchase the gorgeous old home in the Shenandoah Mountains on a whim. The building had seen seen better days, but she had the skills -- and the time -- to fix it up. And maybe it would provide the fresh start she was looking for.
Local handyman Jeremiah Crawford has a soft spot for Peacock Hill. When someone from out of town purchases it, he swings by to offer to help fix it up...and investigate the new owner's plans for the property. The pixie-like Deirdre isn't at all what he expects, but he's happy to hand around and enjoy the view.
When Deirdre's ex-boyfriend, a popular TV house flipper, shows up demanding a piece of the action, Jeremiah must decide if Deidre -- and Peacock Hill -- are worth fighting for. Falling in love wasn't on the blueprints, but it might just be worth the change in plans.
My Review:
published in 2017
Short and sweet and fun and sassy. I love the way the cover so aptly reflects the story inside. Deidre is smart and capable and reno savvy. Jeremiah's the very smitten local handyman. They are both adorably bumbling when it comes to romance which kept me grinning all the way through. Great quips and touches of humour throughout. (Deidre's inept texting is hilarious!) But even with that lighthearted vibe, Maddrey has provided openings for some profound faith discussions as well. A thought provoking and amusing escape read.
