Finding Home by Roxanne Snopek
(This Old House Series, Book 1)
Synopsis:
Logan Stafford never forgot the lonely girl from the wrong side of the tracks. Fourteen years and much heartache later, Samara Davis is back, as irresistible as ever, now with a delightfully odd daughter named Jade and her autism service dog, Bob. Too bad Sam's restored heritage house is nowhere near ready - and he's the contractor responsible.
This single mother has one priority and she'll do anything, make any sacrifice, to give her mildly autistic child a happy home and a secure future. Getting distracted by a long-lost boyfriend is not on the agenda. Nor is being homeless.
Logan's determined to prove to Sam that he's a guy they can all count on but when a crisis with Jade shows him how badly Sam's been wounded by her past, he knows it'll be harder than he thought.
He's all in. But will it be enough?
My Review: 3.5 out of 5
This is a lovely small town romance story entwining sexual tension, drama and a touch of angst.
Sam herself has some issues, and although they do focus a bit on the behaviour of her child Jade, the author never actually puts a label, as such, on what is wrong with her or if indeed she has anything wrong at all.
Logan is a full on knight in shining armour hero, he sweeps into their lives and handles everything they throw at him with unabated support and love.
This book is written as a first love reunited story, it is a light, quick read, there is no serious sex scenes and although there is some angst and drama, it is not a parenting book, nor is a book about a special needs child. These are all just factors that make up part of the hard-enough-life background of the character and why she has returned to the one place she felt loved.
All that being said I really enjoyed reading this book, it was quick to read, the writing kept me invested in the characters and the chemistry between Sam and Logan is great.
Would I read the next in the series or another story by this Author?
Yes, I enjoyed the book and would look at other books by this Author.
