Description:
A big-city, high-powered advertising executive and a small-town firefighter learn that no matter where you started or what you’ve lost, if you open your heart, you can find joy and love again. WILD IRIS RIDGE is the latest book inUSA TODAY bestselling author RaeAnne Thayne’s charming Hope’s Crossing series.
Lucy Drake and Brendan Caine have only one thing in common.And it’s likely to tear them apart. Because it was Brendan’s late wife, Jessie—and Lucy’s best friend—who’d brought them together in the first place. And since Jesse’s passing, Brendan’s been distracted by his two little ones…and the memory of an explosive kiss with Lucy years before his marriage. Still, he’ll steer clear of her. She’s always been trouble with a capital T.
Lucy couldn’t wait to shed her small-town roots for the big city. But now that she’s back in Hope’s Crossing to take care of the Queen Anne home her late aunt has left her, she figures seeing Brendan Caine again is no big deal. After all, she’d managed to resist the handsome fire chief once before, but clearly the embers of their attraction are still smoldering…

Jennifer’s Review of Wild Iris Ridge
Review (4.5 Stars): I love small town romances and the Hope’s Crossing series is one of my favorites. In Wild Iris Ridge, Lucy Drake has come home to pick up the pieces of her life after losing her aunt and her high-paying advertising job in Seattle. She has a plan to renovate her aunt’s home into a bed and breakfast and then hire someone to run it while she returns to the big city to try to achieve her career goals. What she finds in Hope’s Crossing is a lot of memories and the one man who she can’t stand to be around, Brendan Caine. Brendan was married to Lucy’s best friend, Jessie, and even though they have known each other a long time, they can’t forget the one night where they shared a special kiss before he met Jessie. Now, they have the opportunity to see what happens when fate keeps putting them together for a second opportunity to rekindle the flames of that special night.
Wild Iris Ridge is a well-written romantic tale about two lonely people who find a chance at love when they feel they have lost so much in their lives. I love how honest and genuine these characters are and I think that this is one of my favorite couples in the series. Lucy and Brendan are both trying to rebuild their lives after loss and I couldn’t help but want them to find their happy ending together. I’m a little sad to see that this is the final book in the series but I’m looking forward to Ms. Thayne’s new romance series that is due out later this year.

I’m so glad you enjoyed! Thanks so much for hosting a tour stop!
I have read the first book and loved it. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.
I sure do have some catching up to do since this Book 7 of the series…I stopped after the first three because of time and budget constraints. I like this small-town series because of the lovely character writing RaeAnne does. I grew up in a small town and miss the values I took for granted while I was young, but miss now that I’m grown. Big city living definitely has drawbacks. Thanks for the post today.
Thanks for the chance.
Love finding new authors. This book looks great and would love to win and read.
