The trouble with Heartache
Nina
Spencer swore she was done with Heartache, Tennessee, when she left the
town—and her sexy ex, Mack—in her rearview mirror. But when her bakery
business is rocked by scandal, she needs a place to regroup. What she
doesn't need is Mack Finley reminding her of peach-flavored kisses and
the hold he still has on her.
Mack never forgot Nina—not that he
didn't try. Yet between caring for his family and organizing the annual
Harvest Fest, he's overwhelmed and he needs Nina's help. They can work
together without getting swept up in memories and the rush of brand-new
passion…right?

What a beautiful and sweet romance by Ms. Joanne Rock! I have read a few of her books, and one of the things that I love about her writing, is her ability to make the characters touch you deeply. It's so easy to become emotionally invested in her characters, and once you do, every feeling they have, you feel it too. It's incredible! In Promises Under the Peach Tree, it's Nina and Mack that will have you hooked.
Life for Nina is complicated. She's been hurt... bad. And when she returns to her hometown, one of the last things she expects is to run in to her old flame, Mack. The very charming (and handsome) Mack stirs up old feelings in Nina, and the two of them begin to reconnect. But Nina and Mack have a rough road ahead of them as they try and work through issues to find out if what they have is enough to take them to their very own happily ever after.
The chemistry between Nina and Mack is astounding. Even with all of their issues, from the moment they reconnect with one another, you just KNOW they were made for each other. Their romance is extremely charming, and it has a perfect backdrop in Heartache, TN.
If you've never read a book by Ms. Rock, you must. She's a very talented author that I truly enjoy reading. Promises Under the Peach Tree is a great addition to any library, and a perfect, warm your heart read for the end of summer!
