Blue Ride Sunrise by Denise Hunter

Have you ever wished for a second chance at love?

When Zoe returns to her hometown for her grandmother’s funeral, she’s floored when she discovers that she’s inherited her grandma’s peach orchard. Being home dredges up so many good and painful memories. Zoe has never gotten over her high school crush on Cruz, her brother’s best friend. Plus, she’s a mommy and has to care for her four-year-old daughter. She’s been on the road since she’s had her kid and she’s in a terrible relationship with her current boyfriend. Plus, she’s estranged from her dad.

Cruz has never forgotten Zoe. When she turns up back in town, all of those old feelings are reawakened. But, can her family accept him as her equal, or, will they always feel that he’s not good enough for her.

But, Zoe has a secret and when Cruz discovers why she’s left…

Although I enjoyed this book, I felt it was more like a sweet romance than Christian fiction. I felt the message was very light, almost non-existent. However, the story was very good and I was pulled in from the beginning. I just wish the flash back wasn’t so many chapters. I was mesmerized by the first few chapters. But, when I went back to Zoe and Cruz’s relationship from years ago…yeah it was good, but, I’d rather the story had started at the beginning of their romance instead of flashing back.

I recommend this book if you love a good, heartwarming story about second chances. The chemistry between Cruz and Zoe is hotter than grease on an iron skillet – and I mean that in a positive way!

So, have you ever wished for a second chance at love? Have you ever broken up with someone and wished you could see them again and try and see if things could work out the second time?

 

Valentine’s Day and a Preorder

Do you celebrate Valentine’s Day? If so, what will you do to celebrate this year?

My husband and I will be attending an old-school concert. I might bake some heart-shaped cookies – depends on how I feel. I certainly don’t need the cookies, but, my sweet tooth aches sometimes and I need to have my dessert!

Do you have any special memories about how you celebrated Valentine’s Day as a child, and as an adult? If so I’d love to hear about them!

So, tell me how you will be celebrating Valentine’s Day. I’d also love to know about your Valentine’s Day memories, too!

I also wanted to mention that The Underground Railroad Brides Collection is now available for preorder! I authored one of the nine novellas in this historical collection. This is my first historical and I honestly believe it’s one of the strongest stories that I’ve ever written. Come and sample these beautiful love stories by some wonderful Christian authors!
