Synopsis:
A birthday card out of the blue from his estranged father sends successful Seattle marketing man Alex Chernoff on a detour to Cherry Lake in search of answers about his past. A day, maybe two, to tie up loose strings and he’ll be out of there, heading for Mexico, margaritas and blondes in bikinis.
Emma Stanhope is all too familiar with hot, rich, entitled guys like Alex. They never hang around for long, especially not for a Plain Jane like herself. No problem. She’s smart and logical, like any good scientist, and knows better than to lose her heart.
What Emma doesn’t count on is chemistry—of the romantic kind. What Alex doesn’t count on is meeting the girl who’ll make him want to change his ways. But when he learns that he’s a secret from his father’s real family, he can’t stay in Cherry Lake… even if he wants to.
Will love be enough to convince Alex to stay… for good?
My Review:
A heartwarming small town romance.
On Alex Chernoff's thirtieth birthday, he gets a card from
the father he hasn't heard from in fifteen years. Alex decides to forgo his Mexican vacation to
go to Cherry Lake to see his father. When
he finds out his father is out of town for a medical appointment, Alex decides
to stay in town and help at the orchard picking cherries until his father
returns and he can talk to him. No one
knows Alex is Robert Jackson's secret son.
Emma Stanhope has never missed the cherry festival and is
back in town for the annual event. She
always helps the Jackson family at their booth at the festival. This year they are short on pickers at the
orchard, so she helps there too. The
Jacksons are like a second family to her.
Emma doesn’t expect to see the city slicker with the fancy
car who she had issues with during her drive home to be at the orchard wanting
to pick cherries? Why would someone like
him be working as a picker? Usually
people like that move through town pretty quick. They quickly become friends and then
lovers. But how will Emma react when she
finds out Alex's secret?
If you like small town romances and family stories, this is
the book for you.
