But he needs to stay away because of the land. His boss overrules him on that and they slowly begin to work together and then become so much more, but Matt is hiding what her property means to him. It's not long before they are caught up in the beginning of a relationship. Matt can't tell Kayla about his family's past and his connections to her land because he has fought hard to get away from being that poor, evicted kid with nothing, but the clothes on his back. He doesn't want to see her pity or the disappointment thinking that he's a failure and can't provide. He worries a little especially when she admits that honesty is big with her because she has been used before, but he just wants to bury the past.
A picture book adaptation of John Denver's song Take me home, country roads, which celebrates the experience of arriving home to the countryside of West Virginia. The wonderful illustrations give readers, or singers, lots to look at. The song is published at the back and it would be fun to sing.
Take me Home Country Roads (John Denver & Kids!)
Inez Kelley does it again and gives us a touching, sexy contemporary in Take Me Home. It’s perfect for this time of year too, so you should definitely add it to your holiday reading lists. I loved, loved, loved the set-up for this story. This is my first official lumberjack read (even if Matt insists he's not a lumberjack...hehe.) Knowing that Inez Kelley had some expertise on the subject really showed.
You feel for Matt and what he went through as a child but Kayla is not without her own issues in her past. Along with this story you get some lessons on logging and trees that i found interesting. It didn't overpower the book which i appreciated. Fore me i enjoyed all the aspects of this book.

Business seller information
I know nothing about timber management, but found all those details just as interesting as the rest of the story. The romance on this one was off to the races from the get-go. In fact, Kayla's aggressive flirting the moment they meet wasn't a hit with me especially when the story later reveals just how much she had been used in the past. I was confused by her strong come-on when there should have been wariness. I suppose it made the difference that she was the aggressor.
It’s been years, but he still hasn’t gotten over the pain of losing his family home and land after they were evicted when he was a young boy. He’s pulled himself up from that life, working hard, and having a steady job. Set in West Virginia, this book revolves around some of the traditional businesses that dominate parts of the state - logging and the sale of agricultural products.

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.
The only sad part is that he didn't get to see this while he was alive. To ask other readers questions aboutTake me Home Country Roads,please sign up.
It’s stuff like this that makes reading a romance a little more interesting. My heart is so damn happy right now after finishing Take Me Home by Inez Kelley. I had very high expectations for this book and worried that I was expecting too much but I am never so happy to be so wrong in all my life. This book, quite simply put, is a perfect romance story and an exceptional start to a new series. Kayla grew up traveling around with her father who was in the service and she never had a place she could call home.
This reminds me why I love my home state of West Virginia. Dante's preschool class gave us this book when we were moving out of West Virginia. We played the Cd as we pulled out of our driveway and we bawled our eyes out listening to it. Still reminds me of the beauty of the place every time we pull it out to reread it. The pictures are well done and it really isn't that bad.
Let us know what’s wrong with this preview of Country Roads Take Me Home by NOT A BOOK. Which doesn’t mean that I didn’t like the town or the people, because I did. I even liked the explanations of how the timber industry and maple sugaring work.
This is the first book in a trilogy of the Country Roads series by Inez Kelly. Oh it had it's happy moments as with most kids it doesn't take a lot to make them happy but they never had much money and seem to be short on other things. Then one day it all came crashing down completely when they lost the family home and the mountain property around it to foreclosure. Now years later he's a grown man and back in his hometown working for a logging company. He finds himself assigned to the very property his family owned all those years ago. Kayla was a Army brat and now as her parents are both gone now was looking for a place to call home and this mountain land called to her and fits her business ideas.
