Genre – Contemporary
Romance
First Line: Cate Rollins stood in the sun-filled kitchen of the house she’d rented and opened another box.
Review:
Cate Rollins lost Rick Somers when he drove to the west coast after their high school graduation. She thought he loved her, but he never returned…until 9 years later.
“Opposites” is a great descriptive word for Cate and Rick’s personalities. Ms. Lane Walters’ develops an excellent story-line between the two with even a few surprises. There’s more to Cate’s life than she knows and more to Rick’s than he knows – and when the two reconnect a firestorm shakes them both awake and rekindles the smolder. The story sends the reader into a battle of wills and will nots full of emotions from the past and the present, along with recreating tensions (sensual and anger issues).
If you’re looking for a fast-paced, quick read, this is an entertaining story with a happy ending, and I look forward to reading another of this series.

Cate returns to Eastlake
father, the man
who left her without learning that she was pregnant, to pursue his personal
dreams of becoming
a top surgeon. Once he
realises Maddie is his daughter he wants to become a father in all senses of
the world.
But, has he left it
too late? Will the pair ever be able to reconcile their differences?
EXCERPT:
Cate Rollins stood in
the sun-filled kitchen of the house she’d rented and opened another box. The
cheery yellow walls and the dark oak cabinets made the large room seem cozy.
Yesterday she and her daughter had arrived in mid-afternoon and blessed her friend
for leaving most of the furniture. She’d brought little of the battered
furniture from the apartment.
The sound of children’s laughter flowed through the open window. Moments
after their arrival, the swing set had been delivered and assembled. The August
afternoon had been cool, a welcome change from the past week’s brutal heat.
As
she placed dishes on the shelves of the cabinets she hoped the return to Eastlake Rehab Center
“Where do you want this?” Lauren, owner of the house, held a wok, the
metal blackened from use.
Cate pointed to a hook on the wall above the gleaming stove. “Here is
good. Maddie and I make stir fry often, especially the chicken cashew recipe
you taught the Gang.”
Lauren laughed. “Do you make as much?”
“I’ve managed to cut the recipe down so we only have to eat it for a day
or two.” She folded an empty box.
“That’s still my only dish. Thank heavens I’ve a housekeeper who’s a marvelous
cook.”
“Thanks for letting me rent your house while I look for one.”
“Don’t be in a rush to buy.” Lauren winked. “Both Liz and I found our
happy-ever- afters here. You could be next. There are several new doctors
arriving soon.”
Cate closed her eyes lest her friend see the sorrow and anger ever
present in her thoughts. She’d lost her chance for a full life when he’d left
ten minutes after the graduation ceremony ended without a goodbye. She hadn’t
been able to tell him about the pregnancy and she’d been too angry to call him.
“I’m content without a man in my life.” She smiled. “Maddie is great
company.”
“She won’t be with you forever.”
“I
know but right now I’m content.”

Sounds like a sweet tale.
ReplyDeleteLove secret baby second chance stories.
ReplyDeleteSounds like a sweet but emotional story. I like the idea of succeeding characters finding love while living in that same house. Nice connection for a series.
ReplyDeleteI like this excerpt very much! Can't wait to see who takes her into the future--although I think we know who it is. ;)
ReplyDeleteA secret baby, eh? That always makes for a load of complications.
ReplyDeleteSecond chances are my cup of tea. Sounds like we'll see a little angst when he finds out the news.
