It’s never too late for love in Hope’s Crossing…
Evie Blanchard was at the top of her field in the city of angels. But when an emotional year forces her to walk away from her job as a physical therapist, she moves from Los Angeles to Hope’s Crossing seeking a quieter life. So the last thing she needs is to get involved with the handsome, arrogant Brodie Thorne and his injured daughter, Taryn. A self-made man and single dad, Brodie will do anything to get Taryn the rehabilitation she needs…even if it means convincing Evie to move in with them. And despite her vow to keep an emotional distance, Evie can’t help but be moved by Taryn’s spirit, or Brodie’s determination to win her help—and her heart. With laughter, courage and more than a little help from the kindhearted people of Hope’s Crossing, Taryn may get the healing she deserves—and Evie and Brodie might just find a love they never knew could exist
Review
Evie comes down the hill, refreshed from her run only to have Brodie Thorne interrupt her peace. Brodie is always on the opposite side of Evie. If she said it was black he would say it is white. So what he could want puzzled Evie. When she led him up to the small apartment over String Fever, the bead shop she works in, she wonders what she had done to make him upset again. However Evie is blown away to find out he wants her to help in the rehabilitation of his daughter Taryn ,who was seriously injured in a car accident that left another girl dead and another boy, Charlie in hot water. Evie doesn't think she can open her heart to do physical therapy again. Ever since her adopted daughter Cassie passed away, Evie has been running from her former life.
But will Brodie and his mother, Katherine, Evie's good friend end up getting Evie to help Taryn regain some of what she lost? The dynamics are all set for a perfect explosion. Tension between Evie and Brodie becomes more than just hatred; it might actually appear to border something on the dreaded L word... When Evie runs into Charlie and enlists his help in Taryn's physical therapy, Brodie is livid. How can Evie have the boy responsible for this mess help, in his own home no less?
These small gems in your hands, so perfect to read. Especially in one sitting. RaeAnne Thayne builds such a wonderful little world in Hope's Crossing. I myself am from Colorado so I really enjoyed the fall descriptions. It is beyond beautiful and Thayne did the descriptions justice. This one is the second of three about Hope's Crossing, but you can read each one without reading Blackberry Summer, but it does help to have that background.
I know for me personally the last one will come out and my time will end at Hope's Crossing way too quick. But until it does, it will be fun to speculate who the last book will be about!! Thanks Ms Thayne for a wonderful read.

I love a good antagonistic relationship that could lead to something more, so I think I would enjoy the dynamic between Evie and Brodie! Thanks for the review Tonya:)
