review 1: A soldier assumed dead is returned home to see his own tombstone. The pieces of his life are shattered. If you've ever known a returning solder it isn't easy to move forward.As I read this, I see of lot of issues my brother a father of a boy I taught dealt with.There are three soldiers from the same unit with issues to face and rebuild their lives.Melanie has to deal with the death of her father, her Mother's grief, and trying to keep a company going. Both the soldier, Spencer, and Melanie find healing and more helping each other deal with their problems.Warning - I hope you can read around the cuss words to enjoy a great story.Living in a rural town, I can relate to community support.A very emotional book. I would recommend to all who know a returning war... morerior.
review 2: First I want to thank the author for sending me a copy of this book in exchange for my review. This book was entertaining and more sensual than A Time For Home. It is definitely not a stand alone book as it starts with Spence showing up in Snowberry Creek on the day of Callie and Nick's wedding. If you haven't read A Time For Home first you are at a definite disadvantage.I thought that Melanie was a very likeable heroine. She has been born into wealth but is not a snob, she genuinely cares about the people around her and is not afraid of the challenges facing her. Spence on the other hand really annoyed me with the way he avoided the people who cared for him, procrastinating about the legal problems his return caused for those who cared for him, and his continual waffling about staying in Snowberry Creek.I felt that the whole story left me asking more questions than it answered. Why was Spence's PTSD barely mentioned in this book? This man was a POW and the fact that he has nightmares was mentioned only twice. Why didn't Spence verify that Nick and Leif were dead (easily done with today's technology) and then contact them sooner? Why was there no resolution between Spence and his cousin Austin? I hope this is not the end of the Snowberry Creek veterans as I feel there are too many threads hanging and I also want to know what happens to Gage, the sheriff. I definitely feel that he has a story to be told. less
