Back of the Book
Can love redeem a broken past?
Shelby Kincaid is ready to move forward after the death of her husband left her devastated. With high hopes for the future, she longs to purchase her family's homestead, Misty Willow, so she can raise her young daughters in the only place she ever truly belonged. She plans to transform the abandoned house into the perfect home of her memories. But she has her work cut out for her.
AJ Sullivan never wanted Shelby's family homestead in the first place. His grandfather left it to him as punishment for not following his wishes, and he's let it fall into ruin. AJ's more than happy to unload it to this spitfire of a woman. But even after angry exchanges over the state of the house, he can't get her off his mind.
With writing that evokes a strong sense of place and family history, Johnnie Alexander deftly explores the ties that bind us to home--and the irresistible forces that draw us to each other.

My Thoughts
If you are looking for a sweet Christian romance or Hallmark type
book, this is not the book for you. Where She Belongs is clean, but, some
characters use women and relationships for personal gain, the book is blunt and
honest about the manipulative world that we live in. With that said, once I
realized it wasn't a Hallmark movie in a book, and got in a different mindset, I
found it really enjoyable.
With an underlined theme of finding your place, this story will pull at your heart strings as Shelby works to find peace and strength after great tragedy. AJ is a kind, loving person, who is trying to prove he is nothing like his family. Great scenes and wonderful dialog keep this book moving, and kept me entertained to the very last page.
I was given this book free from Revell Publishing for my honest review.
