Description:
A big-city, high-powered advertising executive and a small-town firefighter learn that no matter where you started or what you’ve lost, if you open your heart, you can find joy and love again. WILD IRIS RIDGE is the latest book inUSA TODAY bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne’s charming Hope’s Crossing series.
Lucy Drake and Brendan Caine have only one thing in common.And it’s likely to tear them apart. Because it was Brendan’s late wife, Jessie—and Lucy’s best friend—who’d brought them together in the first place. And since Jesse’s passing, Brendan’s been distracted by his two little ones…and the memory of an explosive kiss with Lucy years before his marriage. Still, he’ll steer clear of her. She’s always been trouble with a capital T.
Lucy couldn’t wait to shed her small-town roots for the big city. But now that she’s back in Hope’s Crossing to take care of the Queen Anne home her late aunt has left her, she figures seeing Brendan Caine again is no big deal. After all, she’d managed to resist the handsome fire chief once before, but clearly the embers of their attraction are still smoldering…

    I love RaeAnne’s books. She is a great author. I’ve read most of the books in her latest series and have loved them all. I like how she interweaves the characters from the books into other books in the series. I haven’t figured out yet how she keeps them all straight. I haven’t read this book yet but hope to soon.

    I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve only read Book 1 of this Hope’s Crossing series. I’ve just purchased three more of the series, but definitely have a ways to go. The good reviews are way over the top on this series so now I’m behind the eight ball to catch up. Thanks for your writing, RaeAnne! jdh2690@gmail.com
