Welcome to Oak Falls, Virginia, home to horse farms, midnight rodeos, bookstores, coffee shops, and quaint restaurants where you’re greeted like family and treated like treasured guests. Buckle up for a wild ride. Like any Southern girls worth their salt, the sweet-talking, sharp-tongued Montgomery sisters can take men to their knees with one seductive glance or a single sugarcoated sentence.
In EMBRACING HER HEART…
Leaving New York City and returning to her hometown to teach a screenplay writing class seems like just the break Grace Montgomery needs. Until her sisters wake her at four thirty in the morning to watch the hottest guys in town train wild horses and she realizes that escaping her sisters’ drama-filled lives was a lot easier from hundreds of miles away. To make matters worse, she spots the one man she never wanted to see again—ruggedly handsome Reed Cross.
Reed was one of Michigan’s leading historical preservation experts, but on the heels of catching his girlfriend in bed with his business partner, his uncle suffers a heart attack. Reed cuts all ties and returns home to Oak Falls to run his uncle’s business. A chance encounter with Grace, his first love, brings back memories he’s spent years trying to escape.
Grace is bound and determined not to fall under Reed’s spell again—and Reed wants more than another taste of the woman he’s never forgotten. When a midnight party brings them together, passion ignites and old wounds are opened. Grace sets down the ground rules for the next three weeks. No touching, no kissing, and if she has it her way, no breathing, because every breath he takes steals her ability to think. But Reed has other ideas…

Family is an important element in all of my novels, and I’m so happy you connected with the characters and their close ties. Thank you so much for you amazing review XOXO
A new series?. *sigh* She has so many I want to read already!
I haven’t read this author but I like the sound of the book.
it’s an author I heard a lot about but I confess that I haven’t tried her books yet
I love second chance stories. Thanks Nadene!
You are welcome, Debbie
Sadly, I still need to read my first Melissa Foster book. I have a half-dozen on my shelf so no excuse. Neat how you got crossover moments with the other, older series.
I know what you mean, Sophia. I too have books on my shelf I need to read, but have not gotten around to ding so and ave no excuse whatsoever.
It’s so wonderful to meet gentlemen in a romance story, and so glad you really liked this one Nadene! Hugs…RO
This sounds good and I like that it surrounds a clan of family members. Curious about the keeping it a secret part.
I do love a good second chance romance. I did try to listen to one of her books that she wrote under the name Addison Cole recently and it didn’t work out for me but that was really due to the narrator. I still do want to try her work.
Glad the heroine won you over – this sounds like a wonderful romance.

I love a story about family dynamics and the Montgomerys sound like a great fiction family. Thanks for sharing your great review and the giveaway!
They are indeed, Cindy.
