A Mother's Homecoming

GIVEAWAY
CARTER, LISA
A MOTHER'S HOMECOMING

She'd put the past behind her...but her secret has just returned.

Charmed by the two-year-old twins in her toddler tumbling class, Maggie Arledge is shocked to learn they're the children she gave up for adoption. And when Bridger Hollingsworth -- the uncle caring for the boys -- needs an emergency nanny, she fits the bill. But with sparks flying between her and Bridger, can she let herself get attached...and risk exposing secrets from her past?

My Review:

Wooheee -- there's tons of sizzle and pop in this toe-curling romance. My fingers are slightly scorched from page-turning my way through these charged pages. I'm a huge fan of this kind of romance -- where there's a swift connection between the hero and heroine despite their attempts to ignore the attraction. And I wasn't the only one noticing the sparks flying. No sirree, the officially unofficial Truelove matchmakers noticed too and they are back to their exasperating antics. :-)

While not marked as a series, this isn't the first Truelove  ( town slogan - "Where true love awaits") novel by Lisa Carter. By my calculations there are three novels before this one, but they can all be read as standalones. Although, since this is a small town, we get to meet up with previous heroes and heroines in A Mother's Homecoming which was lots of fun.

Carter messed with my emotions big time. She knows how to immerse a reader in the complex lives of her characters. I felt a little wrung out by the end, in an exhausted but blissfully happy kind of way. And there's a sweet inspirational message about learning to trust -- both in God and each other -- which brought depth to Maggie and Bridger's story. All in all, another stunning read from one of my favourite authors.

  6. Love the cover! I can't help it, but the covers are always the first to grab my attention and there isn't anything better than either a sweet or adorable cover or one that makes a shiver run up my spine with suspense.

    "A MOTHER'S HOMECOMING" definitely sounds like one I that's inside would match it's outside - GREAT!

    Thank you for the opportunity to win a copy!
