Home Again by Victoria Bylin

When her troublemaking son vandalizes the town church, Cassie O'Rourke comes face-to-face with town sheriff--and former love--Gabe Wyatt. The honorable lawman offers to help tame her wild child, if he can come courting. For the love of her son, dare she entrust her heart to this man once more?

I loved this book. I love Jillian Hart's writing - only recently discovered her (about 12 months ago). A beautiful story and one that sticks in my memory. A great read.

This is TWO books in ONE, and as Jillian Hart is one of my VERY FAVORITE authors ... I KNEW I HAD TO PURCHASE THIS BOOK ...and am I glad I did!

The first book, "Finally a Family" is actually another McKaslin book ... if you have read either, (or both, as I have) the contemporary, or the historical, McKaslin books previously, you definitely will want to read this book as well. Now, this one is about a two little girls, Prudence and Penelope, that want a mother so very bad that they set out to find a wife for their dad and of course they pick one ... their dad, Sam, has other ideas and that IS NOT WHAT HE WANTS. She, Molly, of course, falls in love with these adorable little girls that definitely find trouble wherever they go, along with the help of their pet cow and her antics ... it, of course, all works out! It is a darling book interspersed with humor which adds to the enjoyment of this book.

The second book is by Victoria Bylin, whom I have not read previously it is called "Home Again". I could feel the heartbreak of this mother, Cassie, as her son was acting out and causing so much trouble that she truly did not know how to help him. She moved back to her amall hometown thinking that this would solve the problem, but of course, his deeper issues followed him. This problem could be true for mothers today, as well as, all those years ago. Her former love, Gabe, who also is the town sheriff, tries to help her with her son. This is so hard for her as she finds she still has feelings for him, which she definitely feels first, that she does not want and then when she acknowledges them to herself she is not sure that she should feel. The town's people are very judgemental, especially one woman that seems to have a lot of influence over the others which adds another element in this book ... all and all this is a very good book and a new author that I will definitely be reading more of.
