Finally, a romance story that's right up my alley! I love romance. I think most of us do. I always get sidetracked and frustrated when the romance is disrupted by lurid sex scenes. There's a huge difference between love and lust and, sadly, I fear most writers don't see the difference. That's not true of RaeAnne. Not only did she provide me with an intriguing story, she provided me with characters that I could care about and a romance that was sure and true. I didn't even have to skip any pages to avoid someone's 'love rocket'!
RaeAnne says in a forward in the book that she feels this book is about redemption, forgiveness, and healing. I couldn't agree more. The romance is definitely there, but there are two teenagers in this book that will capture your heart. Actually, the whole town will. This was my first forray into Hope's Crossing and I can't wait to go back.
Fans of Macomber's Blossom Street will find a new love in Hope's Crossing. The characters will wheedle their way into your heart and it will be difficult to let them go.

This book had me from the first page to the last. This is a story of youthful mistakes, tragic consiquences, and ultimatly brings to light the one person you never expected to have a part in the tragity. It brings together a couple, a family, and a town divided by misplaced judgements and loyalties. This book was an excellent read!
