Love a second chance, Sam amp Logan knew each other in high school amp fell in love, But her dad lost another job and hadn't paid the rent amp they left before she could day goodbye, But now she needs a fresh start after her husband died back in NY, Note to self best to stay away from this author even if they are free on kindle,.Neither Samara nor Logan's characters jelled with me, Logan at first seemed a little immature, but that changed about halfway through, I so enjoy stories of refound love and in that, this did not disappoint, Loving the Marietta setting minus the cowboys! This is a wonderful story of second chances, Samara,a widow, comes back to Marietta, Montana, with her four year old daughter, Marietta was the place Samara lived for one very happy year in an otherwise unhappy childhood, Logan Stafford, her teenage love, is still there, . . now divorced and teaching at the high school and coordinating building projects for the students,

Roxanne Snopek wrote one of my favourite series' so when given the chance to read Finding Home I grabbed it with both hands, And she doesn't disappoint as she has brought us a sweet, touching romance, that whilst fairly short, is filled with feeling,

"Getting a second chance is a miracle, It's a gift. "

When widow Samara Davis and her daughter return to her hometown in Montana from New York, the last person she expects to find restoring her new home is her high school sweetheart, Logan Stafford.
But she does and it's immediately evident that the attraction is still there and it's mutual, butyears have passed and her daughter now must come first,

Logan was a sweetheart kind, protective and patient, he found his way into my heart straight away, Sam, took some warming to, I liked her, but I also found her a little difficult as she doesn't trust people with her daughter and she can be short and offhand when they are trying to help.
But rest assured by the end of the book I'd completely warmed to her she hasn't had an easy time of things but she and Logan were perfect together with realistic, natural chemistry which burned bright.


As is Roxanne's MO, a cast of secondary characters bring snark, humour and support and animals and children bring the cute, heartfelt moments, Whilst I perhaps would have liked a little more detail of Sam's backstory with her husband, it was a thoroughly enjoyable read and I could have happily read a full length novel.
If a family feel, small town romance is what you want, then Finding Home is exactly that,

It's worth mentioning that this is part of the Homecoming series although it can easily be read as a standalone, That said, I intend to read the rest of the series,

Copy generously received from the publisher for an honest and unbiased opinion, I REALLY REALLY love second chance romances, There is something so heartwarming about two people coming together a second time or third or whatever the case may be and making sure that whatever might have spooked them or kept them apart earlier in their age, doesn't happen again! And you throw in kids and I am done for! LOL
I really loved every minute of this story.
It was short, sweet and to the point, The smalltown setting, friendships and second characters provide a really emotionally satisfying story,
Other than telling you it was well written and even tho it was short in page numbers, it did not feel short, there's not much else to tell unless I tell you the details and for THAT you gotta read the book!! Pick it up, YOU WILL NOT BE SORRY! :

HEA or HFN HEA,stars
Canadian author Roxanne Snopek has penned Finding Home, a sweet and heartwarming story that will leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside, Finding Home also features in the Montana Homecoming anthology, a fabulous book I won a few years ago, The moment I read the first line of Finding Home I knew this would be an irresistible, romantic read, And with a hero like Logan, gorgeous, sweet and loveable, I would have been quite happy for the book to continuewellforever, The focus is also on Samarasyear old autistic daughter, Jade and her service dog, Bob which I thought gave the story more significance,

I love the small town setting of Marietta and look forward to reading thend book in the This Old House Series,

Finding Home will charm your socks off,
A great story of first love, heart break, and a reunion that proves the love never died, He was the golden boy, she was from the wrong side of the tracks but the attraction was immediate and strong until one day she was gone, Many years later Samara is back in Marietta and when she and Logan come face to face the spark is still there, The last thing she needs though is a new relationship, or so she thinks,

This story is wonderfully written and these characters are warm and funny and people you just want to see have their HEA, And of course what would a Roxanne Snopek story be without a wonderful canine character, Bob definitely does not disappoint, Excellent read that I highly recommend, Samara comes back home to Montana with her young daughter Jade a few years after losing her husband, When Samara visits the house that is being worked on and will soon be the home her and Jade need she finds a former love heading the charge, Logan is shocked to see Samara a woman he loved in high school back in Montana, This is a beautifully written second chance at romance that I couldn't put down, Samara is widowed and moves to Marietta to start over with her daughter Jade, She never thought she would run into Logan, her former boyfriend from the brief time she lived in Marietta as a teenager, The attraction between them is instant, as if it never left,
I had a hard time liking Samara for the first half of the book, Even considering everything she had been through, she almost had more issues than I could deal with, Logan, on the other hand, was a wonderful sweetheart, I loved him from the beginning, The residents of Marietta were their normal friendly sweet selves, It was a good book, but Samara's issues and overprotectiveness of Jade were hard to tolerate at times, Posted on sitelinkWhat I'm Reading

Yesterday I read Finding Home by Roxanne Snopek, I have enjoyed Roxanne previous stories, but I had a hard time connecting with this story, Don't get me wrong, Finding Home is a nice sweet read that deals with some serious issues,

Basically, Samara Davis finds herself as a widow and decided that she wanted to move back Marietta, Montana, because when she was younger that was the one place that she felt that she could feel at home.
When she gets there things aren't going as plan, and she struggles, She has a lot on her plate with being a new widow and dealing with her child the last person she expect to see was Logan Stafford, Now Logan couldn't forget Samara, even if tried, However, they were together one and the next she was gone, Now she has return to Marietta, and maybe this is a second chance for them to be together,

I really liked Logan, In Finding Home he was a decent guy and willing to bend over backward for Samara, Now Samara, I had a huge issue with her, I think a lot has to do with the fact she was extremely emotionally closed off that she wouldn't let anyone in, Now certain residents aren't going to let Samara get away with that, Logan being one of them, and Eliza and Aunt Mabel being the others, She realized what she was doing, but didn't know if she wanted to fix, I love that Aunt Mabel stepped in and pretty much put her in her place, I did like Aunt Mabel even though she's a bit brash,

Overall, Finding Home is a well written story with characters with strong emotional issues, A lot of story focuses on Samara and her taking back her life after the death of her husband and learning to trust the people in Marietta, Logan is fantastic and how he handles Samara and her daughter, Not a bad read, and it wasn't until the end when I finally liked Samara, However, others have enjoyed this story and this is just my personal feeling,
