A novelette.
When Stella Hawkes lover ended their relationship, Stella was
devastated. Her life was in ruins. Then to add to Stella’s problems, her
grandmother suffered a debilitating illness and Stella gave up her army career
to care for her in her final days. Stella’s return to Ashville brings her once
again into contact with an old army pal, socialite Reggie Stockton. Reggie’s
family owns the local newspaper. Stella can either accept Reggie’s help to get
her life back on track and turned around or she can wallow in self pity. Will
Stella accept the help Reggie is offering?
Both women embark on a journey where they are compelled to
look at what they each want out of life. Will their paths be the same leading to
a happy ever after, or will they part forever?
A delightful well written little story of finding love after
loss again. JM Dragon’s books are always a welcome addition to my library and
this one is no exception. As always with one of her books, it is hard to put
down once started. No problems with this novelette though, I sat and read it in
one sitting. It certainly is a page turner.
Both Stella and Reggie are multi-faceted and interact really
well together and with the secondary characters. The dynamic between the two
women is sizzling. Both women feel the pull of attraction, but both have to
clear their minds and hearts and more importantly let go of their pasts be able
to trust again to allow any feelings to develop. Unfortunately, outside
influences are fast at work impeding them at each turn.
I have just one problem with this book, I wanted more, much,
much more. I also want to know what happens next with Stella and Reggie. A
sequel would be fantastic.
