Hope Kildaire gave up her dream of becoming a nurse practitioner when a car accident killed her father and left her mother an invalid. Working two jobs and caring for her mother leaves the twenty-seven-year-old with no time for fun or relationships. When a law firm representing her paternal grandparents sends her several letters, Hope ignores them. She despises the family who disowned her father and wants nothing to do with them.
Lawyer Tyler Coleman's job is simply to obtain Hope's signature on a legal document. Getting it is harder than planned, though, when an unexpected attraction blossoms between them. If Ty is honest with Hope about why he's in Willow Springs, he'll fulfill his assignment but may risk hurting her.
The opportunity to have everything she's ever desired is at Hope's fingertips. Will her dream come true at the expense of Tyler's love?
Review
In book 2 in the Deerbourne Inn series, Hope Kildaire has
given up her dreams of becoming a nurse practitioner to take care of
wonderfully sweet but handicapped mother, Casey. She works two jobs, lives
paycheck to paycheck, and only finds true happiness and enjoyment when she’s
skiing, which works out since one of her jobs is as a ski instructor. Then she
meets Tyler Coleson, a tourist in town for the winter season, and for the first
time in years, she feels the spark of attraction for a man.
Tyler is a lawyer in town under false pretenses, and he
needs Hope’s signature on a very important document. As he gets to know her and
learns about her life, he realizes how empty is own life has become and that
maybe it’s time for a change.
OMG! I loved Hope and Tyler. They’re smart, strong
characters with real-life problems and concerns. They were very easy to relate
to. Even though they started out as strangers, they instinctively trusted one
another right off the bat. Romance bloomed in a fast, sweet way.
This is a fun, heartwarming, clean story. I got a little
teary-eyed a few times when reading about Hope’s losses and the tough time
she’s had. I really enjoyed this novella and look forward to reading more of
Ms. Jaeger’s work.
5 Stars
