Lost and Found Faith

BLOUNT, LAUREL

LOST AND FOUND FAITH

A terrible tragedy nearly broke him. 

Can love put him back together again?

Widowed history teacher Neil Hamilton has lost his way -- at work, with people and even with his faith. But Neil's shut-down existence is disrupted when a small toddler and his would-be foster mother, vibrantly pretty Maggie Byrne, come crashing into Neil's yard and his life. Can this absentminded teacher find himself again...and take a chance on love, too?

My Review:

What a beautiful, heartwarming, hope-infusing charm of a read! I didn't plan on reading Lost and Found Faith in one sitting but I did. I just couldn't bear to be pulled away from these characters and this setting so I had to see my way through to the happily ever after. 

I always enjoy a small town romance and Blount has done a great job of building up this Georgian community. There are definitely some secondary characters that I want to see more of and I'll get that opportunity since this is the first in a new series! Woohoo!!! 

I'm particularly intrigued with what the future has in store for the town sheriff (he's Maggie's brother) who I think will be the hero in the next book. And I'm anxious to catch up with no-nonsense Grandma Ruby and grumpy ol' Angelo who may be grizzly on the outside but is all squishy teddy bear on the inside. You know a book is a hit when you care as much about the secondary characters as you do the main ones.

Speaking of which, little Oliver is adorable! And Neil's wary first encounter with the little guy is equal parts tender and poignant. So much history there and back stories to uncover. With Maggie as well. Sometimes I got all teary-eyed and at other times I was grinning like a Cheshire Cat. And as far as first kisses go...m-a-g-i-c-a-l. And corkscrew toe-curling besides!

I have no clue when the second book is due to come out but the release date can't come soon enough for me!
