I can't say enough good things about this book...poetic storytelling...check! Beautifully crafted writing style...check! A to-die-for leading male...check! A likable, funny, spunky female character...check! Twice in a Lifetime brings you along the journey of Allie, Ben, their son, and their best friend (who's always wanted Allie for himself) Jake. I loved this story and the way Ruthie Henrick weaved it so seemingly effortlessly. It has angst, love, humor, you name it! This is a do not miss debut ...more

I'm crying and my heart is just bursting with happiness for Jake! I love him so much and I'm so happy he finally has the life and family he always wanted with Allie- they both deserve all the happiness. This glimpse into their hectic, busy, and loving life is a little slice of perfection!

Loved this book! The story was captivating and I fell in love with the characters.

I have to say though, I was most impressed with Ms. Henrick's writing. It's poetic, flawless, and put me in each scene--experiencing the little things, like how it feels sliding into a booth, feeling the patched vinyl stick to my legs.

I highly recommend!

I was given an ARC of this book in return for an honest review.

What a wonderful story! I truly enjoyed each and every emotion this book pulled out of me, even when I wanted to throw my kindle across the room. I could feel the love, the anger, the deception, the longing. Oh, the longing!
I loved the heroine, Allie, from the start. She had a good head on her shoulders, loved her son with all of her heart, and always tried her best to make the right decision for her family. The two men in her life were sexy, endearing, and sometimes downright infuriating. Do no

This was a heartwarming story about how sometimes life just doesn't turn out how you thought it would, but in the end that can be a wonderful thing!!

The story deals with a lot of big issues remarkably well. It's an emotional tale sprinkled with love scenes and I really felt for the characters and the turmoil they had to deal with.

Ruthie's writing style is poetic and her prose just flows off the page. She is a truly gifted writer and I can't wait to see more from her! Great debut into the literar

I absolutely fell in love with Allie and Jake in Twice In a Lifetime and was thrilled to spend more time with them in Home for the Holiday. Thanksgiving is my favorite holiday, the love and togetherness of a family. With any holiday there tends to be stresses but in the ends there is always love. This book takes you along for the Holiday ride with the Taylor's and it doesn't disappoint. ...more

The Thanksgiving get together that Jake and Allie never see coming. If you're a fan of Twice in a Lifetime, or even just a heartwarming tale of love and family that includes all the quirks and foibles, pick up Home for the Holiday. The family's all invited for Thanksgiving dinner. What could possibly go wrong? ...more

I could hardly put this book down! Each time I did, I found myself wondering what was happening. I was drawn into this beautifully written story from the first page. Can’t wait to see what this author writes next! Definitely a new favorite of mine.
