Where She Belongs

By Patricia Bradley

Happy New Year, everyone! 



Where She Belongs is going to be one of my favorite books of 2016! It has romance, intrigue, complications, and a little mystery.

Here's the back cover blurb:

Shelby Kincaid is ready to move forward after the death of her husband left her devastated. With high hopes for the future, she longs to purchase her family's homestead, Misty Willow, so she can raise her young daughters in the only place she ever truly belonged. She plans to transform the abandoned house into the perfect home of her memories. But she has her work cut out for her.

AJ Sullivan never wanted Shelby's family homestead in the first place. His grandfather left it to him as punishment for not following his wishes, and he's let it fall into ruin. AJ's more than happy to unload it to this spitfire of a woman. But even after angry exchanges over the state of the house, he can't get her off his mind.

With writing that evokes a strong sense of place and family history, Johnnie Alexander deftly explores the ties that bind us to home--and the irresistible forces that draw us to each other.

Have you ever wanted to go back to a place in your memory that was home? Our memories tend to make everything bigger and better, and when Shelby returns to the place of her dreams, there is much work to be done before it becomes "home." All the while two men are vying for her attention. 

As she settles into Misty Willow and restores the old homestead, a mystery unfolds about how her family lost the farm. And AJ grapples with something from his past that may keep him from declaring his love for Shelby. 

If you love stories with romance and intrigue and two men competing for the love of one woman, this upbeat contemporary romance will leave you wanting more, and the good news is...Johnnie Alexander has more stories set in Misty Willow! 

Have you ever tried to "go home"-- return to a place in from your childhood? How did it work out for you?

What I'm Reading...

This week I'm on a cruise, and I'm in the middle Where Treasure Hides. I read it the first time on my Kindle and loved it. Then, when it came out in print, I had to have it. It's a beautiful romance...and don't you love the cover!





Here's the blurb:
Artist Alison Schuyler spends her time working in her family’s renowned art gallery, determined to avoid the curse that has followed the Schuyler clan from the Netherlands to America and back again. She’s certain that true love will only lead to tragedy—that is, until a chance meeting at Waterloo station brings Ian Devlin into her life. Drawn to the bold and compassionate British Army captain, Alison begins to question her fear of love as World War II breaks out, separating the two and drawing each into their own battles. While Ian fights for freedom on the battlefield, Alison works with the Dutch Underground to find a safe haven for Jewish children and priceless pieces of art alike. But safety is a luxury war does not allow. As time, war, and human will struggle to keep them apart, will Alison and Ian have the faith to fight for their love, or is it their fate to be separated forever?
