Hearts of Osage County

Book 1: To Touch the Earth

Hannah Harris left the family ranch eight years ago. She went without saying goodbye—not to her dad, boyfriend, best friend, cousins, or anybody else. She left God behind, too. Now, she is returning for her dad’s funeral. Still angry and bitter, she has no plans to stay. She has a new life in Oklahoma City.

Aaron Dean has never stopped loving Hannah. She’d hurt him badly, but seeing her again just opened up all the feelings he’d buried for her. He has to find a way to convince her to stay this time. Forever.

A lot has happened in eight years. As in the movie It’s a Wonderful Life, with Hannah gone, you can see how she impacted people. Situations where others had to step up because she wasn’t there. I loved this story and look forward to more in this story. If you cry easily, you may want tissues nearby.

Tulsa Town Romances

Book 1: Resurrection

Quinn Alexander is an artist. She can paint the storms, but now she has to live through one. A storm where she’s lost her anchor. As she’s lost inside a storm pulling her into a black hole, she finally goes to grief counseling for help. Can she open up enough to allow those in the group to help and support her?

Nick James has been in counseling and does his best to help others open up. To heal. He’s on his way to healing, but it’s a long road. So when he feels the push to approach the new group member, he doesn’t want to. And yet, she needs a friend. And the truth is, so does he.

I’ve never been through the sorrow these two were, but the author seems to catch the emotions—the fears—of going from one day to the next alone. And the greater fear of allowing love in and taking a chance at pain once more. I can’t wait to read more in this series.

**Tissue alert

Book 2: Redemption

After it was too late, Josh Harrington realized he’d made a big mistake six and a half years ago. He saw everything through the eyes of his ten-year-old self when his world changed forever and scarred him so emotionally. Now, Josh has a second chance to make things right. Can he find forgiveness for the past to move on to his future?

Heather McClure had been so hurt when Josh sent her away. She left and took her secret with her. She’s back in Oklahoma after things went badly in New York. Home. And she had to face Josh and tell him all. Will she meet the monster he’d been the last time she encountered him?

They both have a second chance if they put the past behind them and trust God to guide their future. Loved the characters and storyline. You may want tissues handy if you are a crier.

Book 2: Restoration

Ashley McClure, sister to Heather from Redemption, book two in this series, is a man-hater. Only Heather and Josh know what happened to Ashley seven years ago. And yet, when the handsome Officer Stone comes to the hospital to pick up evidence, her heart wishes she were different and that she be comfortable with men…that man.

Officer Ryan Stone is attracted to the beautiful nurse. If only he could find more time with her besides the infrequent meetings at the hospital. Ryan gets that chance thanks to Ashley’s friend and co-worker, Natalie. He realizes something is holding Ashley back, but he’s not one to give up easily.

A tissue alert goes on this story if you cry easily. But no worries, joy comes. It is a page-turning series with what could be real-life situations that take a lot of work for these characters to find their happily ever afters.
