Sierra's Homecoming (McKettricks, #5) (McKettricks #5)
When she moved to her family's ancestral ranch, single mom Sierra McKettrick was disconcerted by the Triple M's handsome caretaker, Travis Reid. But when her son claimed to see a mysterious boy in the house, and an heirloom teapot started popping up in unexpected places, Sierra wondered if the attraction between herself and Travis might be the least of her worries.

It was about 1am when I finished book 4, I was sleepy but nothing could stop me from continuing on to book 5 (Sierra's Homecoming).
After reading the first sentence which reads... "Present Day
“Stay in the car,” Sierra McKettrick told her seven-year-old son, Liam" I felt like I was robbed! The next few paragraphs talked about all of the gravestones Sierra read and the names engraved were like the names of my own family members.

This is one of the best books I've read in a long time. I loved how Linda interwove the two families together: Sierra, Travis and Liam from 2007 and Hannah, Doss and Tobias from 1919. It has just a hint of paranormal to make it more interesting.
These two sets of McKettrick women really are the women that feel they don't belong. Sierra because her father snatched her away from the family at a young age and Hannah who is the widow of Gabe McKettrick. Through love and trust they find that they are...more

This was one of my favorites of the McKettrick series. After reading the stories of Holt, Rafe, Kade & Jeb and their respective wives (Loralei,Emmeline, Mandy,& Chloe) it gave me chills to read Sierra's description of their grave markers when she walked through the family cemetary. I thoroughly enjoyed the parallel story of Hannah & Doss and their falling in love back in 1919 in the same house (and Hannah's struggle with guilt since Doss was her late husband, Gabe, brother). Plus, th...more
Sierra Mc Kettrick is coming home....to a home she has never seen, to meet a Mother she has never known, with a Son who could die any day. Wow, what a way to start a story. Part of the McKettrick Women series, Sierra and her Son Liam will be connected to the McKettrick family in ways they could never have imagined! Haunted teapots and picture albums, struggles to stay alive and live with sorrow. Not to mention steaming encounters with Men that are all wrong for the McKetterick Women....or are th...more

What a shock! After finding a new book boyfriend in Holt’s star turn: McKettrick's Choice (McKettrick Cowboys, #4) I presumed the series would continue with that generation – but nooooooo…..
Book 5 of the McKettrick series is an abrupt departure from the quartet that introduced this series as that generation is all dead (you find out on page 1 – and in hindsight you know after you read the synopsis).

I maintain that each set of couples deserves their own book. Normally I dislike it when an author divides a story up between two pairs but it works better here than in any of the other books I've read. The charachters are vibrant whie still being realistic and belivable and they interact well. Becasue of the divisions though I feel that both halves were underdeveloped and rushed although they did support each other in some interesting ways.
I did like this book but I felt very lost and disappointed because the book was titled Sierra's Homecoming and there really wasn't much about Sierra. Out of the blue Travis has sex with her and he loves her? I really feel like I missed something. Then the story with Hanna was good I just felt that the focus should have been with Sierra and lia and Travis more. Still a good book though.
This author was suggested to me and it was a quick read. Interesting viewpoints...the author bounced back and forth between 1919 and 2007 (something I don't normally like). I hung in there and enjoyed it but this way of writing is not my favorite. Love historicals but this twist made me have to concentrate to know what era I was in.
Alright, I didn't expect to enjoy this as much as I did. Normally, I don't like stories that flip back and forth between the present and the past, following the lives of two people whose lives sort of parallel each other. And then there's that temporal paradox but I'm going to overlook that just this once...
This is one of those books where you start out slow and then you hooked. It has two stories going a past and a present. Both are set are the old Holt McKettrick Ranch. In the past story Hannah is widowed to the son Holt, Gabe McKettrick and his younger brother is taking after the care of her and her son Tobias.
In the present story single mom Sierra McKettrick move's to the McKettrick Ranch with her son Liam and mysterious things start happining in the house. The caretaker Travis Reid tells her t...more

Im actually reading The McKettrick Legend which has both Sierra's Homecoming and The McKettrick Way. I loved the first four stories of Holt,Rafe,Kade and Jeb and feel sad in a way that they are gone. I hope I enjoy the rest of the books as much as I did the beginning. :)
I like this book more than I anticipated I would. I didn't think I would like switching back and forth between periods, but I did.
I would have liked to see more about Sierra's relationship with her mother though.
All in all, a good read!

Somewhere between an ok and good read. The good part was the supernatural aspect of it which if highlighted more effectively and if maybe shown as influencing the two main protagonists life would probably have made this a good book. A story of two women living in the same house but in two different centuries.

Recommends it for:
hopeless romantics
Another quick read: corny romance novel, but interesting twist of women from different centuries, each with a child and a hot man who hangs around, who happen to share a house...
I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I loved how she brought the past and present together. The characters were well written and you imagine how it would be to meet somone from the past.
A delightful book. Reminds me of the movie The Lake House with Sierra in the present and Hannah in the past able to communicate through writing in a journal. I loved the past story the best with the widow Hannah falling for her brother-in-Law. great read.
Loved this book! The way she wove the 2 stories together was great and interesting. Probably my favorite of the series. A quick, entertaining read.
I love this book. I borrowed this book from a friend of mine and I might have to go and buy this book because I plan on reading it again.
Single mom, Sierra McKettrick, moves to her family's ancestral ranch, the Triple M. Her she discovers her family's roots and romance.

=) como sempre LLM consegue com que o leitor entre no personagem de uma forma tao simples e ao mesmo tempo forte e sem esforço.
uma historia que bem pode ser uma historia real já que os sentimentos, os desafios, os temores, as duvidas são por si só o nosso quotidiano.
como sempre adorei!

This story is split between the past and present, with ghosts moving a family teapot around...it's fun. I love the cowboy stories.
This story was so moving because of the supernatural aspect. I loved the characters and their insight into each other's world.

These two stories were short and to the point but EXCELLENT. It was nice to read a story in this series that did not have a million things going on at the same time AND I only cried ONCE. That's a record for this series!
However, I am a bit nervous about the rest of the series only in that there seems to be a HUGE amount of generations that are going to be left untold about and I'm not sure how I feel about that. I know Lizzie has her story coming up soon, but what about John Henry or the rest of...more

THis was funny and a very good she was such a tomboy loved it!
This was one of my favorites! Especially the beginning of the book when Sierra was at the cemetery.
Nice read christmas spirit book, complete with ghosts.
Nice pat diversion of a story

“Being a McKettrick meant claiming a piece of ground to stand on and putting your roots down deep into it. Holding on, no matter what came at you. It meant loving with passion and taking the rough spots with the smooth. It meant fighting for what you wanted, letting go when that was the best thing to do.”
