Fifteen years ago, a family member stole the money Hunt Knox had saved for college, while three of his siblings and his father hid the truth and told him to get over it. Betrayed by their lies and thievery, Hunt joined the army and wound up flying Apache helicopters in Iraq. Now, he's a chopper pilot for an oil company in Houston, Texas, his father has been dead for six years, and he's finally returning home to Blessings at his mother's dying request.
Ava Ridley, the little girl Hunt's mother used to babysit, has grown up and is a nurse at his mother's bedside when he arrives. Ava is overjoyed to see him. She had a huge crush on him when she was young. And as the two spend more time together, Ava's crush grows to be even more.
Through secrets, lies, family betrayal, and difficult choices, Hunt's not sure he and Ava can make it together in Blessings. But everybody loves somebody, and Hunt isn't willing to lose the one person who makes their small town feel like his forever home.
Grab some sweet tea and sit awhile: This sweet contemporary romance has family betrayal, childhood crushes, a veteran hero, and a second chance to get everything right.
MY REVIEW:
Somebody to Love by Sharon SalaMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
This is the 11th book in a series but it read as a standalone. some day I may go back and read the whole series but I got a lot out of reading this.
Fifteen years ago, a family member stole the money Hunt Knox had saved for college, while three of his siblings and his father hid the truth and told him to get over it. Betrayed by their lies and thievery, Hunt joined the army and wound up flying Apache helicopters in Iraq.
Now Hunter is back home, per his mother's wishes, as she is dying. When he gets to hospital he gets to say goodbye to her and tells her he will keep the promise he made her.
With his sisters and brothers there he is very hurt by the past and they are not happy to see him either.
This book has loss and moving on from loss and hurt. But the truth always comes out. The secret that was kept will also bring them all back together. I was wrong on what the secret is.
Hunt also runs into a woman who is from his past and was a part of his family. While getting his mom's house ready to sell Hunt gets close to Ava.
There are other families affected by loss in this book and how they deal with it.
Very well written.
Thank you to Sourcebooks Casablanca and NetGalley for the ARC to review.
