HOMECOMING (OLMAN COUNTY, BK 1) by ALEX COLLINS (T L HADDIX)
âHomecomingâ was previously released as âSecrets in the Shadowsâ by T.L. Haddix.
Lauren was traumatized by her best friend's father when she was 16 years old. Lauren went on to marry and have a daughter, but she was never comfortable around me, her husband included. They divorced after a few years, but have remained good friends. Their daughter is growing up in two loving homes.
Charlie Clark has had his own share of issues that need to be resolved... and to his credit, he is trying. Charlie is a private investigator and he's happy with that, but he wants more out of life. He wants a home, a loving wife, a family. Rumble the cat helps, but it's not enough.
When he meets Lauren, it's love at first sight. Not quite first sight for Lauren, but she definitely feels a pull. She's scared and excited, usually both at the same time. But Charlie is willing to be patient for as long as it takes for her to come to trust her.
When Lauren's past rears its ugly head, she has no choice but to turn to Charlie for professional help... even if it means telling him the entire truth about what happened years ago.
Someone has targeted Lauren and her bakery story and Charity Vaughn, an art galley owner. What is their connection and who would want to hurt ... or kill ... both of them?
This is the first of a series, and I confess .... I started with Book 2. I would highly recommend reading these books in order .. will make much more sense without any spoilers.
This is billed as a Romantic Suspense, but it reads more like a romance. The suspense is very low key, the suspect is identified early own, as well as the connection between Lauren and Charity. Most of the characters are very likable.
