It's a comfortable read with a great story with some extra info included on logging and making maple syrup as well but it blends with the story to enhance it. I like the secondary characters as well and look forward to more from this series. This brilliant picture book adaptation of the first hit song of John Denver is all about roots, family, and country. True to Appalachian style, Canyon portrays it all as if on a quilt, complete with little stitches between the fabric.
And Molly too...even Abby is a great character. Oh yeah, and this is only book #1...so many great story possibilities to come. Personally I'm really excited about this new contemporary series. Inez Kelley once again struck the perfect balance of entertainment, romance, angst, smexiness, and friendship that makes for a great contemporary romance. He grew up knowing that this land was his family's identity...his heritage, but at 16 he was helpless when they lost it all.

And I had a hard time connecting with the heroine. She came on strong and her "issues" were really nothing. It moved a bit slow, even though the "sexy times" started at about 30%, and while I know many enjoyed learning the details of maple syrup making, that is not why I read romance.

So when I saw this book at my local library, I jumped at the chance to share it with our girls. Because the loss of the land that had been in his family for generations was so traumatic, followed so quickly by his father’s death in a car accident, Matt doesn’t want the job. Unfortunately, because he hasn’t told anyone about his past, he has to either confess what feels like a ton of old humiliation, or get the job done.
Faith Still Moves Mountains : Miraculous Stories of the Healing Power of Prayer by Harris Faulkner (2022, Hardcover)
The kind of simple, happy romance that makes you feel comfortable and content. It's the perfect story to read on your ereader when you're working and have to split your concentration a little. This is a really sweet and equal parts spicy romance with good characters and a heartwarming series of scenes against a breathtaking setting. Those who adore small town romances and rugged heroes should give this Contemporary Romance a try. There were a couple of things about this story that drew me in. The biggest being Matt and his painful struggle with his past, having locked all those old emotions away and never really dealing with them or with losing his father.
She needs help though and as much as it pains Matt to be around her new home and the reminder of his past, he agrees to help her. They also share one sexy night fairly early on after meeting each other and their relationship grows from there, turning serious before either of them knows it. Because of this book, now I have this song stuck in my head. The same illustrator and author has done all of these John Denver picture books, but honestly you almost wouldn't know it. Each book's illustrations are so different and so fantastic you would swear it was a different person each time. This is an achingly beautiful contemporary romance.

Now in a supervisory role as a forester for a logging company, Matt finds himself in charge of a new job - harvesting timber at his family's old farm. When he first goes out to the property, Matt and the new owner, Kayla Edwards, are very obviously attracted to one another. Kayla takes the initiative and asks Matt out, and I suspect many readers will find her straightforward attitude refreshing just as I did. Flirtation turns almost immediately into something much hotter. This is definitely one of those relationships where lust and attraction take center stage first, but love and friendship follow closely behind. Matt and Kayla are both enjoyable characters, and Inez Kelley writes this dynamic between them very well.
The writer did a good job of having me on the fence about who to sympathize with over Matt's choice to keep his past to himself. I totally got his reasons, but I also see where Kayla is coming from too. Relationships need honesty and that was the point of this one along with Matt's need to let go of the past. Kayla Edwards, owner of Mountain Specialty Spices, has been a wanderer all her life growing up an Army brat, but now she plans to sink down roots here in the beautiful mountains.
I spent a few years living not far from the state border, and I was familiar with the towns and cities mentioned throughout the story, and I have to say that the descriptions mostly rang true. The family was homeless for a time and the memories of that poverty filled him with shame but also spurred him on in his ambitions to be self-sufficient. My first book by this author and I enjoyed it.
Though they do have a subtle dominance in the bedroom. That’s how army-brat-turned-foodie Kayla feels about her new mountain hideaway. What’s more, the hottest lumberjack ever to swing an axe has agreed to manage her timber crop and get the old maple syrup operations back on tap. Matt’s ruggedly sexy ways and passion for the land have her falling hard. This is always a nice change--a true radio hit in a picture book.
At first, I was not really impressed with “Take me Home”. I very much dislike women who throw themselves at guys, especially 10 minutes after meeting them. However, having read all her previous books and knowing that this author delivers powerful stories, I continued reading. I was not disappointed; Kelley did it again with this contemporary romance.
This is a personal preference, but I like the hero to go after the h and make more of an effort in the relationship. There are reasons behind his actions, but it still bugged me. My thanks to Net Galley for the opportunity to read and review this book. Tons of cool info about lumber biz and maple syrup biz. Too much sex for Vanilla Penny, but a solid start to this series. This book just wasn't to my personal taste.

Kayla discovers that she has the possibility of running a maple syrup business from her land as well and that would really get her finances back on track. Matt tells her its hard work and its risky, but she'll have his help, right? Although his familiarity with the land and his secrecy over his past niggles at her.
