Addie Andrews escapes to Eunice, AR, with hopes of starting over. Inheriting a house from her beloved Aunt Tilda, she aspires to fix it up, sell it, and eventually move back to Chicago, a place that, for now, holds bittersweet memories of her deceased fiancé, Jonah. Then she finds Felix, a sweet pit bull puppy with half an ear, and life starts to change in ways she never could have predicted. Jasper Floyd doesn't have time for love; he's running his dad's farm, still practicing law and not interested, until Addie shows up at the veterinary clinic with an injured puppy. Learning to love again, for both of them, comes with pain and honesty. Addie isn't sure where the future will lead her and how Jasper fits in but this may be her chance at new love and a new life. Getting mixed up in a local undercover crime investigation, dealing with a wacky neighbor, and making a best friend with a weather-predicting son may just push Addie to start calling Eunice home.
VERDICT Readers of Debbie Macomber will enjoy poet and nonfiction author Noblin's first novel. It's an enjoyable story full of laughter, tears, and just plain fun.
