From the New York Times bestselling author of the Coulter and Harrigan Family series comes the first novel in a compelling contemporary romance series about unexpected love, second chances, and hope reborn... After years of living in fear of her husband, Amanda Banning has left him and moved to Mystic Creek, Oregon, for a fresh start. But she’s having a tough time providing for herself and her six-year-old daughter. Writing her secret yearnings on slips of paper and sending them into the wind helps her cling to the hope that things will get better…and that she can find happiness again. Jeb Sterling has no idea that the handwritten messages he finds scattered across his land are the first hints that his life is about to change. Nor does he understand why he feels so compelled to help Amanda Banning and her daughter when a cold snap leaves them temporarily homeless. Maybe he’s inspired by Amanda’s courage or perhaps by her beautiful brown eyes. Either way, the man who once renounced love suddenly finds himself willing to do anything for the pair. Amanda seems to have given up on her dreams, but Jeb refuses to quit until he makes her every wish come true...

"<strong>Everything is perfect in Perfectville</strong><br/><br/>I want to say that I did enjoy this book. It was a nice departure from the books I've been reading that have the same alpha male hero who treats the heroine like trash. The problem is that this book goes overboard in the other direction. Jeb (ridiculously dumb name) is perfect in every way and solves all of Amanda and Chloe's problems with his love and money. The story was unrealistic and sappy. I wish it had been structured so that the relationship between Jeb and Amanda took place after the resolution of issues with her ex because it was cringeworthy for her to be freaking out about keeping her daughter safe while Jeb thinks about how he wants to have sex with her and repeatedly declares his feelings for her. I mean, read the room. He was always respectful of her, but at the same time they had to have the same conversation about her not being ready because he kept bringing it up. It was also a bit of a bummer that Amanda was written to be somewhat clueless because Jeb is constantly explaining things to her while she is constantly saying "I never thought of that". I also hated the scene where he gives her 7 year old daughter a bath because no.. just no. In all though, it was nice to finally read a story where the H treated the h with respect and actually cared about her."
