Hope's Crossing

review 1: "We needed this. A reminder that no matter how difficult our own journey, sometimes the only thing that can ease our path is to stop for a while and gather strength by lifting someone else's burden" (page 342) BLACKBERRY SUMMER is the first book in the Hope's Crossing series by RaeAnne Thayne. This light romance fosters a sense of community, friendships, and helping others that raises it above the average romance novel. This town has a curiously secretive "Angle of Hope" who steps up to meet people's needs just when they feel down. Anything from paying heating bills, providing a good second hand car, to a get well gift basket appear to show people that someone else does care about them. Claire is a divorced single mom who runs a beading shop in town. When she and her ... morekids are injured in a car accident because the police chief is chasing a ring of thieves, she finds that her fierce independence is threatened because she needs help after her injuries. Riley is the new police chief who has just returned to his hometown. Riley and Claire grew up together as friends but now that friendship is growing into something else, but each of their pasts seem to be hindering their new found feelings. How will the accident and the town's gossip mill affect their blooming romance?I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The characters evoked many emotions and drew me immediately into this story of romance and community. I enjoyed the bead crafting and the atmosphere of small town relationships. Looking forward to continuing this series to find out about more people's lives in Hope's Crossing, Colorado.
review 2: Claire Bradford needed a wake-up call.What she didn't need was a tragic car accident. As a single mom and the owner of a successful bead shop, Claire leads a predictable life in Hope's Crossing, Colorado. So what if she has no time for romance? At least, that's what she tells herself, especially when her best friend's sexy younger brother comes back to town as the new chief of police.But when the accident forces Claire to slow down and lean on others--especially Riley McKnight--she realizes, for the first time, that things need to change. And not just in her own life. The accident--and the string of robberies committed by teenagers that led up to it--is a wake-up call to the people of Hope's Crossing. The sense of community and togetherness had been lost during those tough years. But with a mysterious "Angel of Hope" working to inspire the town, Riley and Claire will find themselves opening up to love and other possibilities by the end of an extraordinary summer....This is going to be a great series. I'm loving the first book. What a talented author.She really gets your blood going... and that's exactly what you want out of a book.Starting the 2nd book in the series now. 5 stars. less
