Synopsis:
Alexandria Luther vowed to never return to her hometown, yet here she is, passing the ‘Welcome to Yosemite Flats’ sign. Drawn back by family obligations, she’s heading straight home to LA as soon as she can — despite pressure from her loved ones to stay. Nothing can persuade her that small town life is for her…until she meets Grayson, the town’s newest resident *and* most eligible bachelor. Life moves a little slower in Yosemite Flats, and that’s just the way resort owner Grayson Conrad likes it. He moved to the Sierra Nevada foothills to raise his young daughter far from the hustle and glitz of Los Angeles. So when Lex blows into town like a hurricane, he fights his attraction in order to save his sanity — and his heart. The only problem is, he fails. Now he just needs to convince her that home really can be where the heart is.
My Thoughts:
Romance, suspense and adventure all in one!
This book tells the story of the romance between Lex and Grayson and Grayson’s daughter, Sophie. You can’t help but love Sophie and all her antics although at times she needs a little more discipline. How can you discipline such a sweet and smart little girl especially when she melts your heart?
Cassie Hayes has written a fun and sweet story mixed in with romance and drama that will keep you turning page after page. There was a good mix of adventure, romance, and humor throughout. The sparks were flying between Grayson and Lex, be careful if you get in their way. Yosemite Flats sounds like a great place to live and raise a family, which is just what Grayson was looking for when he moved there.
The story kept you engaged throughout with the mix of characters that were relatable and unusual. The characters go through different emotions that you can relate to. I was really amused by the family, the Bensons, that kept trying to dig on the property and were really a nuisance. They really believed in and wanted to find their treasure at any cost. Of course, they sort of deserved what happened to them.
Cassie did a great job of mixing romance with some suspense and adventure. I was not disappointed in this book at all. It was just what I have come to expect from this talented author. I recommend Back Home Again to anyone that likes to read romance with a bit of suspense thrown in with a happily-ever-after ending.
