Since You've Been Gone by Tari Faris

 Since you've been gone is the third full length novel in the Restoring Heritage series. I think this one may be my favorite in the series.  This book like the other books has two love stories in one and takes place in the small town of Heritage.  The first couple is Joh Kensington and Leah Williams. I loved their story and how they worked through the past they had with each other. The other story is Colby March and Madison Westmore. Madison is not liked in town. She left town and returned to fix up and sell her deceased father's house. She is pregnant but does not make it know but she meets Colby not knowing he was a famous Christian singer and hires him to help her fix up her house. She tells him upfront she is pregnant. She is repentant for her past actions and holds no ill feeling for what people think of her. I like her character.

I received this ARC through the Early Reader program at LibraryThing. 

Riverbend Gap by Denise Hunter

 

You've read books that end on a cliffhanger. Well this one literally starts on a cliffhanger. Katelyn is on her way to visit Gavin and his family and skids off the road and her car is hanging on the edge. One wrong move could send her over.. Cooper Robinson comes her and keeps her calm while waiting for more help to arrive.  He is immediately attracted to her.  Later he finds out that this girl is his brother's new girlfriend. The more he is around her the more attracted he is to her. There is a chemistry between those two that is not in her relationship with Gavin.  He finds himself falling in love with her but he feels in his heart that he can never have her since she is in a relationship with Gavin.

I enjoyed this story as I have all of Denise Hunter's books. I'm looking forward to reading the story of Cooper's other siblings.

I received a complimentary e-copy of this book. All opinions are completely my own.
