About this ebook

Opposites find their missing piece, in this emotional and sweet country romance.


Rosemary Brunner doesn’t like change. She’s been living on the family farm where she grew up for her entire life. Sure, her friends worry she’s slowly heading towards full-fledged hermit status, but she likes it just fine, thanks. Although, she thinks, maybe she should consider a big dog to bark at strangers knocking on her door late at night. Who wanders up a stranger’s driveway at this time of evening?


Stephen Beckett doesn’t like the dark. His stay in the backwoods outside the village of Catoctin Creek, Maryland, has lasted entirely too long. The moment he can get back to his life in NYC, he’ll say a little prayer of thanks to the city that never sleeps. Of course, right now, he can’t even find his way back to his late father’s house. Lost, again, on these winding country roads! It’s enough to make a man long for a late-night subway home.


Rosemary doesn’t expect her life to change the moment she opens the door to a lost stranger. And Stephen never expected to lose his heart to a shy woman with a spitfire temper. But when these two meet on the front porch of Rosemary’s farmhouse, they know their lives will never be the same.


And now that they’ve been thrown together, there are a thousand reasons for them to split apart. Stephen wants to develop the neighboring farm; Rosemary wants her elderly neighbors to stay next door forever. Stephen plans to return to the city; Rosemary never leaves her farm. They say opposites attract…but no one ever says what holds them together. Is love really strong enough to bridge the gap between this country girl and city boy?

Don't know if my enjoyment of this book is due to my nostalgia for Western MD countryside or for some other reason but Reikert describes the setting so vividly I can easily call up my favorite places: the streets of Frederick, the houses and amenities of Baker Park, South Mountain, Cunningham Falls, and acres and acres of gently rolling green fields with bucolic buildings. Her characters are equally vivid, the shy, insecure, panic prone heroine, the ballsy, aggressive best friend who's really trying to hide her own vulnerability, or the floundering hero who desperately wants a woman the antithesis of the big city career women he's familiar with. The biggest problem I had was the timing. Action would stroll leisurely across the pages and suddenly avalanche, leaving me blinking while trying to sort everything new into some sort of order. Then, after half a page, it's back to a slow saunter. Disconcerting.

a bit wordy and drawn out, but an enjoyable story, that has adult senes but not too spicy.
