The Long Gone Girl of Starlight Bend

Starlight Bend #2

by Erin Quinn

Kari Dale has plans--big ones that are about to be realized with the launch of her store in Starlight Bend. Totally focused on achieving her goals, Kari isn't prepared for tall, dark, and amazing Ty Timberlake. Within minutes of meeting Kari, Ty knows he's in trouble. She's smart, funny and beautiful. He understands her goals, but knows the rat race won't make her happy. Kari is hell-bent on making her mark and moving on to the next challenge; Ty is equally determined to win her love and make her stay. As Christmas draws closer, Kari begins to question who she is and what she wants. Should she stick to her plan and be long gone come the New Year, or chart a new course with the man who's stolen her heart?

[CarolKat]

Kari Dale comes to town with a plan, setup the store and move on to the next town. Unfortunately she's not sure she want's to stick to that plan.

Tyler Timberlake was grading papers when Kari walks into The Bar on the Lake. He finds her attractive and strikes up a conversation with her.

Of course you know where all this leads and when he wakes up alone he heads to the coffee shop. Everyone seems to know who he was with including his father. Up until then he had no idea of where Kari was opening her store.

Even with conflicting feelings, Ty pursues Kari. The Wishing Tree again plays a role as does the Santa with the Mysterious bag that gives out cards. Even Ty's students lend a hand to make Kari's store a success.

In spite of herself Kari finds herself falling not only for the sexy teacher, but also this small town.

A fun and emotional read so perfect for Christmas Wishes.

She Can Be Still And Stay In One Place

This is a funny sad happy story that just makes you feel good. She is trying not to be a failure like her father. He came back home to be with his dad but his father's rejection shut him down. But one look at each other and they saw a reason to open up their hearts. Maybe they can open up to new possibilities. This is a entertaining hot read. Enjoy I did.
