It was, as always, both exciting and heartwarming, to be back in River's Edge, Indiana, where tenderness, humor, and support abound. The Walkers are a favorite family there, and Cam is...well, he's pretty special.

Miles and Abby couldn't have been much different, despite their regret over their shared loss of Miles's sister. However, they find ways--some of them involving snow--to come together over love for baby Willow, Abby's two young sons, and music.
The tenderness in the story is palpable and warming. Highly recommended!
I received a complimentary ARC of this book from the author. I then bought the book because I liked it so well. ...more

Single, common sense parents who actually realize they're meant for each other but just have to find a way to make it work made this a fun read for me. Looking forward to going back to Alaska with Beth again soon!

She has a smart and yet easy-reading writer's voice and I enjoy every word. While I love the people in her stories, I also like that I learn things in every one. It's no secret that romance authors are queens of research, and Ms. Carpenter deserves a special seat on the throne!
