Series:
Tuttle Sisters of Coho Cove (Book 2)
Forever a wanderer?
From the moment Noah Crocker steps into Amy Tuttle
Tolliver's bakery, the self-made baker's a confection he can't resist. The
stunning entrepreneur needs help…and the pararescue medic is more than happy to
share his hidden baking talent! When he realizes his unexpected link to the
husband Amy lost in combat, the instant connection to her -- and her two
adorable sons -- intensifies. Noah's always been searching for home. Could it
be that he had to come all the way to tiny Coho Cove to find what he was looking
for?
Terrific story. Amy is a war widow with two young boys.
Her dream was to own her own bakery, which she has achieved. It doesn't matter
that it consumes all her life outside of caring for her sons. However, she
sometimes yearns for something more, even if she doesn't know what. That
changes when a visitor arrives in town.
After an injury ended his career as an Air Force pararescue
jumper, Noah isn't sure what to do with his life. He is doing a 50-state tour,
looking for a place and a reason to put down roots. On his way to his last stop
in Alaska, Noah stops in Coho Cove to visit his friend Jax (
The Soldier's
Refuge). He impulsively stops at the bakery, where he meets Amy. There is an
instant connection.
I enjoyed watching Noah and Amy's relationship develop. The
connection is there, but Amy is wary, not just for herself, but also worried
her sons might get hurt if they get attached and Noah doesn't stick around.
When Amy has a crisis at the bakery, Noah jumps in to help. This allows them to
get to know each other. There are some great scenes of Noah and Amy together as
their friendship grows and becomes more. There is a surprise connection between
Noah and Amy's late husband that could have ended things before they got
started, but honesty and compassion got them over that hurdle. I loved how
sensitive each was to the other's difficult past. The ending was fantastic.
I loved the bakery scenes and seeing how happy Noah was
when he was there. Not only was he with Amy, but it also brought back some of
the few happy memories from his childhood. I also loved seeing Noah with Amy's
sons. The scene at the fair was heartwarming, with Noah's joy at experiencing
it with the boys.
