Description: When Pixie Nolan first came to Bramble, Kentucky, the abandoned and desperate young single mother found hope, healing, and a fresh start. With the loving support of her best friends—Marlow Heddings and her handsome Marine husband, Cort—Pixie is now happily raising her toddler son in a cozy cottage, managing Marlow’s thriving boutique, and designing firefly logo t-shirts that are selling like hotcakes. The past is behind her, and life is good.
She never expected to make an electrifying connection with a summer renter, a retired Navy SEAL with his own complicated past . . .
A rugged warrior with scars both seen and unseen, Brogan Rafferty arrives with an adorable baby girl in tow and settles into the lake house next door. And while he’s a stunning addition to the gorgeous scenery, it’s his caring devotion that captures Pixie’s heart—the way he gently snuggles away the precious infant’s cries, or swoops Pixie’s delighted little boy high in the air with his tattooed, muscular arms.
But it’s no coincidence that Brogan has found Pixie, and his startling revelations make it clear she’s the key to healing old regrets and building new dreams. And when a hostile stranger turns up with shocking accusations against Bramble’s new hometown hero, Pixie must put her own fears and heartbreak away for good—and learn what it truly means to trust.
Genre: Fiction - Contemporary/Romance
Why I Picked This Book: I enjoyed the first book in this series and wanted to see more of the story.
My Impression: This was a nice book about nice people who have found each other and built a found family. Pixie Nolan and her son Andy met Marlow in the first book when Pixie had hit rock bottom and had nowhere to turn. Now happy, healthy, and firmly on her feet she meets Brogan Rafferty. While he doesn't seem helpless or at rock bottom, he's looking for family and acceptance - even if he doesn't know it yet.

This isn't a dramatic book. There are some encounters with some pretty vile people and the main two characters have sad backstories but the story itself is positive and full of hope. It's nice to see such a strong found family that really supports each other. There's a bit of repetition especially in the first half of the book and this isn't necessarily a story that will really stick with me. That said, it's a nice bit of escape reading with genuine characters and enough heart to not be silly. It's a perfect relaxation read.
Would I Read More of this Series/Author? I would! This was a really lovely, sweet read and I enjoyed it just as much if not more than the first book.
Would I Recommend this Book? If you're looking for a comforting read this is a good choice though I would recommend reading the first book before this one just to give you the background.
