Sometimes the biggest emotional risk can reap the best romantic reward…
After everything she worked for is destroyed, pediatrician Natasha Gray is determined to build a new life. Divorced, bankrupt and suddenly a single mom, she’s ready to start over in Silver Springs—on her own. She certainly doesn’t need help from Mack Amos, the man who’s already broken her heart twice.
Although Mack has had feelings for Tash since they first met, too many things have stood in the way. He’s always given her the support she needs, though, and he’ll do the same now. Even if the desire he wrestles with threatens to undermine his intentions…
But her heart is not the only reason Natasha wants to keep Mack at bay. More time in her life means getting closer to her son, which could lead to a revelation neither of them is ready to face.
Brenda Novak always hooks me quickly with delectable characters, emotional portrayals and beautiful happily ever afters! With book eight in her always delightful Silver Springs series Novak takes her longtime readers on a journey back to Whiskey Creek when she reunites Natasha with the Amos family. Readers of both series’ will be delighted, but readers of only the Silver Spring one will have some catching up to do with a passel of new characters and little in the way of familiar faces. I highly enjoyed the story and found it very heartwarming to see Tash finally get her man.
Natasha is easy to like and quickly endears herself to a reader’s heart. She’s looking to pick up the pieces of her exploded life by moving to Silver Springs, but a familiar face from her life in Whiskey Creek is stirring up emotions she thought she had laid to rest long ago.
Mack is solid and loyal and looking for answers that he’s wondered about for years. Reconnecting with Tash at a time when letting the feelings he has for her show is actually possible is a new temptation.
I highly recommend this book as well as the entire series to anyone who enjoys an emotional journey towards happily ever after in a small town with some bumps along the way.
