A Man For Amanda

by Jane McBride Choate

Amanda Clayson loves chocolate almost as much as she does making a home. An inheritance from her great-aunt brings her and old farmhouse in the foothills of northern California. To pay for the upkeep, she takes in boarders. Two elderly residents, a dog named Harry, and a cow named Peaches comprise her family and fill her big rambling home with love and laughter. Amanda has a generous heart, a chocolate chip cookies business, a green thumb, and a firm belief in goodness of people and in love.

Ex-cop-turned-author Lucas Reed is Amanda's newest boarder. Lucas has a battered body and a bruised heart and has seen too much of what man can do to man to believe in goodness or in love. He arrives at Amanda's house to recharge his writing.

Amanda knows that she and her family can heal Lucas' shattered heart, but can she convince him that love exists?

Reviews

[Nancy]

This book is a sweet love story. Amanda inherited an old Victorian house from her favorite great aunt. Her parents wanted her to be a lawyer, but that didn't interest her. She went to live in the house she inherited, and ended up with two non paying boarders, who she came to love. A new boarder, was an ex-cop, and writer. He came there to write his newest book, and ended up falling in love with Amanda. This is a clean love story. There are touches to the hands, and checks, and tender kisses, and that kind of descriptions through out the book.

It was a fast light read.
