About the book
Come home to Darling, VT, and a new heartwarming series by New York Times Bestselling Author, Donna Alward!
When Laurel Stone’s garden center is targeted by vandals, she comes face to face with the man who once broke her heart: Aiden Gallagher. Aiden’s now one of Darling’s Finest, but the memory of how he hurt Laurel back in high school has stuck to his conscience. Helping her get back on her feet is the
least he can do to make it up to her. And as time goes on, he realizes how much he cares for the woman she’s become: strong, resilient, and compassionate.
Laurel’s willing to forgive Aiden’s past transgressions, and before long it’s clear the old attraction between them still sizzles. But it’s harder for her to move past the loss of her dreams now that her divorce is finalized, and her ex is remarrying. Ever accommodating, Laurel has kept things amicable,
but attending the wedding has all her resentments and disappointments bubbling to the surface. Aiden tries to be supportive, but what Laurel needs most is to stand on her own two feet, and she pushes Aiden away.
When their friend George meets with trouble, Laurel and Aiden must work together to get him back on his feet. Is this the opportunity for them to salvage their relationship, or is it goodbye for good?

My Review
I’m a sucker for listening to a romance audiobook. This was such a delightful listen. A second chance romance in a small town with two characters with hearts of gold. And I liked the supporting characters which is always a plus for me. When I am wondering more about them, that is always a good sign. The main characters had flaws that made them relatable, and they grew as the story progressed. There was a little bit of steam and a HEA. I could picture the small town and the residents, especially The Kissing Bridge. I liked how Laurel and Aiden’s story came full circle with it.
I find it hit or miss listening to romances and this one never had me wondering if was over soon. I credit this to the plot and the narrator, Leanne Woodward. She kept me engaged and focused on the story. This was my first time listening to her narration, but I would definitely listen again.

While her heartwarming stories of love, hope, and homecoming have been translated into several languages, hit bestseller lists and won awards, her very favorite thing is when she hears from happy readers.

Narrator Bio – About Leanne:
I’ve been behind a microphone for more than 35 years in commercial voiceover, narration, and radio.
I’m a single parent to an amazing daughter and we love to discover the theater, art, music, and bookstores of Asheville, NC where we live. When I’m not “working”, I explore the “real” world with hikes into the wild and dangerous culinary experiments.
