Walking On Air by Catherine Anderson

Gabe Vance is an infamous gunslinger who is shot dead on Christmas morning. Before dying he glimpses a beautiful woman staring at him. He wakes up to a rickety shack and 2 angels, Michael and Gabriel. The angels go through all the bad things, that Gabe has done in his life. That scene, all of chapter 2 is funny and heartwarming . The angels tell him they can give him one chance to go back to earth and save a list soul. They show him 3 people and have Gabe choose. He picks Nan, the woman who watched him die.
He is sent back to Earth on Thanksgiving Day, to save Nan and her little sister Laney, by basically making them fall in love with him, and teaching them that no 2 men are the same and even the ones with the worst reputations and scariest first impression can change your mind and you can fall in love with him.
I don't want to give a lot away, but I can tell you regardless if you have ever read Catherine Anderson or not, I urge you to read this book, the front cover has a quote from Debbie Macomber- "Emotional and Heartfelt, her stories make you believe in the power of love" 100% True ! I have read ever single Catherine Anderson listed in the front of this book, and 'Walking on Air' has moved up to #1 on my favorite list, so far...

I received this book for free in exchange for an honest review.

Come Home to Me by Brenda Novak

Aaron and Presley, who we first me it When Snow Falls. Aaron is Dylans brother and Presley is Cheyennes sister.
Since we last saw her, Presley is back home is Whiskey Creek with her young son, Wyatt. She is renovating space to open a yoga studio/massage parlor.
Aaron and Presley have both kicked their drug habits. We don't really read a lot about their drug habits in this book, based on what happened in When Snow Falls, I thought their would be more about it than there was. I actually liked it reading that much about it. It shows that they have matured and do not feel the need to speak about their past problems.
SPOILER ALERT - if you did not guess from in When Snow Falls, yes Wyatt is Aaron's son. Presley does not tell tell Aaron, he hears about rumors from his brother and confronts Presley and she admits that Wyatt is his.
Throughout the book Aaron is trying to get Presley to date him before he moves to Reno, 3 hours away, to open a franchise of Amos Auto Body Shop.
Aaron's after is still in prison but due to be released in 3 months after the end of the book. He is remarried and we meet his wife and her 16 year old daughter. Te new wife is 1 year younger than Aaron which he finds disturbing.
Cheyenne and Dylan are trying to get pregnant. Cheyenne sends some of Dylan's sperm to a lab and finds out he is sterile. They keep trying it she is still not pregnant. She asks Aaron to "contribute" and he agrees. She uses Aaron's sperm, artificially inseminated herself, and at the end of the book she is pregnant. Dylan assumes he is the father.
I liked this ever since u read When Snow Falls, I wanted to know what happens to Presley and if she admits she is pregnant with Wyatt's baby.
I was very happy to receive this book in exchange for an honest review.
