Hope Flames

When it comes to love, they already know the rules…by heart. Thirty-two and finally setting up her veterinary practice in the town she once called home, Emma Burnett is on her own and loving it. Independent and driven, she’s not letting any man get in the way of her dreams. Not again. That’s fine with Luke McCormack. Divorced and hardly lacking in female company when he needs it, he’s devoted to the only faithful companion in his life—his police dog. Still, there’s something about Emma he can’t shake. When a series of local break-ins leaves Emma vulnerable, she seeks help from the first man to spark her desire in years. And now they’re giving each other something they thought they’d lost forever…hope. FIRST IN A NEW SERIES!

It’s easy, easy like Sunday Morning. That is how I would describe Emma and Luke. They both have baggage but they can’t stay away from each other. When they are together they burn up the pages and makes you want your own HEA. 

Charming setting, gutsy heroine, alpha hero, good friends, add animals and a pinch of suspense... makes for an easy read. Good start to a small town series. If you are fans of Silhouette Special Edition books, Bella Andre, Jill Shalvis , and Susan Mallery then you would enjoy this read.

Lynn Braden

This is the first in Jaci Burton's Hope series. The two main characters are commitment phobic due to very bumpy past relationships, but they find common ground especially in the love for their dogs. Both Luke and Emma are very likeable main characters. A nice romance and a little suspense make this a good winter afternoon read.
