His homecoming is bittersweet…for both of them

Café owner Maddie Strong is finally ready to take her burgeoning cupcake business to the next level. With the help of handsome businessman Alex Perkins, her future’s all mapped out. Until her first love comes home.

At seventeen, Maddie adored Nate Barzonni with her whole heart and soul. But when he asked her to elope, she’d said no—she couldn’t let him throw away his dream of becoming a doctor. Then he vanished from her life for eleven years. Now the cardiac surgeon has returned to Indian Lake asking for a second chance, and Maddie has to choose between her new life…and the man she never stopped loving.

 

In My Opinion (Review)

As long as each book stands alone, I’m fine with coming in late to a series. Despite my best intentions, though, I don’t make it to the earlier books. As is the case with Catherine Lanigan’s Shores of Indian Lake books. So I was thrilled when the opportunity to read one of the second book written in this series came about. It was a treat to get to go back in time a little—to the true introduction of the Barzonni family.

What struck me most about this book is the exploration of changing dreams. Remember when you were in high school and thought your future was all mapped out for you? How did those dreams work out?

Probably about the same as they did for Nate and Maddie Strong. When life brings them back together, eleven years later, each has new goals and dreams. As they admit the mistakes of their youth, are they willing to let go of their new dreams and plans now?

Another engaging and warm read from Catherine Lanigan that, thanks to Hallmark, we can soon watch on the small screen. Between Maddie’s friendships, Nate’s family, and the small town, this story is a perfect fit for the channel that focuses on romance.

His Baby Dilemma by Catherine Lanigan (Review + Giveaway)

On Tour with Prism Book Tours.

His Baby Dilemma
(Shores of Indian Lake #9)
Catherine Lanigan
Adult Contemporary Romance
Paperback & ebook, 384 pages
December 1st 2017 by Harlequin Heartwarming

Must they always be continents apart?

Nobody expects Paris fashion designer Grace Railton to settle down in her Indiana town, least of all Mica Barzonni. Fifteen months ago, he turned to her for comfort and compassion following a farming accident that left him permanently injured. Then she returned to France and went silent on him.

Until, suddenly, Grace shows up on his doorstep with life-altering news. Mica, a father? He’s barely learned to navigate his postaccident life. But this could be his chance to become the man he’s always wanted to be—the husband and father Grace and their baby son need. Now Mica just has to convince her to stay.

In My Opinion (Review)

When Grace Railton returns to the town of Indian Lake, she has a surprise for Mica Barzonni. One she realizes she should have shared before standing in front of him with their infant son.

At first, Grace seemed a little selfish to me. After all, she’s dropping her son with his father in order to get caught up at work in time for fashion week. But, through Mica’s eyes, I came to see her drive and determination. Her motive behind her single-minded focus is to provide a good life for her son.
Then there is Mica—the lone, brooding hero who is softened by a baby boy. Despite the many changes in his life, Mica also wants what’s best for the baby. And what’s best is for his mother and father to be together.

As Grace struggles with her unrequited love for Mica and he works through feelings of inadequacy (and a little jealousy), these two discover what they want most out of life looks different than it did before little Jules entered the picture. Tragedies happen and dreams change, but someone standing beside you makes life’s twists and turns worth the journey.
