An Alaskan Surprise

GIVEAWAY
CALHOUNE, BELLE
AN ALASKAN TWIN SURPRISE

His runaway bride is back...with twins!

The last person Gabriel Lawson expects to find in town is Rachel Marshall -- especially with twin toddlers in low Gabriel refuses to risk his heart again on the woman who left him at the altar years ago. But working to renovate her mother's house means he must spend time with Rachel and her adorable twins...and soon he can't help but wish they were his family.

A Home to Owl Creek Tale

My Review:

Woohoo! Calhoune takes us back to Alaska in her second Owl Creek novel. And isn't that cover divine? Babies to smoosh and that loving gaze between the hero and heroine -- absolutely toe-curling. I'd buy it just on the cover's merit but Belle Calhoune is an auto-buy author for me too.

So, what happens when the runaway bride returns three years later? A lot of heart tugging angst, that's what! Especially since she's toting along twin one-year-olds. Tongues are wagging in this small Northern town and Gabriel feels like he's been sucker punched when he runs into her unexpectedly for the first time...and many times afterwards.

What made Rachel run? Calhoune teases her readers with intriguing bits of back story, digging deeper with each reveal. I could really relate to Rachel -- not as a runaway bride :-) but as someone who has allowed fear to dictate actions that cripple relationships and opportunities. But she's stopped running. She's a stronger woman of faith now and while she doesn't expect to be reunited with Gabriel, she wants a chance to explain and apologize.

He's gutted. His friends are indignant on his behalf. Nobody wants to see him hurt again but Gabriel is a kind, decent, caring man and it isn't long before he's helping Rachel and her mom and becoming bewitched by those cute baby girls....and that special spark is back!

Pages flew by as I devoured their love story. I love a good reunion romance and this one is excellent!

  4. I've always wanted to visit Alaska. I would have been my home state if my Mom hadn't been RH- and sent back stateside to have me. However, I take my adventures there in the books I read that have Alaska as their location. "AN ALASKAN TWIN SURPRISE" sounds like a wonderful LI book and a great way to visit Alaska with.

    Thank you for the opportunity to win a copy!
