About the book:
In the first entry in the Madison River Romance series, Keira Knudsen gets the traveling opportunity of a lifetime, but when she reunites with her first love, Robbie, she learns that even a wandering heart needs a home....
No one in the quaint town of West Yellowstone, Montana knows that unassuming geography teacher Keira Knudsen moonlights as sensational travel blogger Kat Wanderfull. No one, that is, except for her first love, Robbie Matthews, who has just discovered the woman he is falling for online is the same one that broke his heart five years ago.
But Robbie has another problem: the mother of his daughter, Anabelle, has resurfaced after a three-year absence determined to rip Anabelle away from him. Robbie needs a steady paycheck for a chance at custody, and now, on the eve of a grand adventure that could give Keira a chance to flee her old, troubled life once and for all, she is in need of assistance.
With so much broken trust between them, Keira and Robbie must keep an arms-length away to make this partnership work. But the more time they spend together, exploring majestic places and sharing new experiences, the closer they get--until their secrets and dreams threaten to cost them everything.
My review:
This was a wonderfully written love story from a debut author! Robbie was such a wonderful hero, putting his daughter first and also supporting Keira's dream. He was incredibly handsome, funny, loved God but also wasn't perfect. He had a learning disability and felt dumb when he had a hard time writing or reading. I loved how he prayed for everyone and how he handled the whole messy situation with the mother of his child was amazing when she acted so horribly. His daughter was so adorable; she almost stole the show! Keira was finally realizing her dream yet hadn't quite gotten over Robbie and was also dealing with a difficult past and an annoying boyfriend. John drove me nuts. I don't know what she saw in him. I think it must have been her insecurity after dealing with an abusive and controlling father. Her father made me incredibly angry; I was relieved we didn't see him much. I loved her sense of adventure, her love for travel and photography. It was fun exploring with them. She had a big heart and volunteered in the different towns they stopped in. I felt she blew something a little out of proportion that didn't seem like a huge deal to me. I wasn't sure if she was a Christian at first but later I realized she was. I would have liked a little more development in that area or explanation of how each of them got to that point as it seemed like Robbie became a Christian sometime in high school and it wasn't clear to me when or how Keira did. There were some wonderful romantic moments and I also loved getting a glimpse of when they first got together in high school. While this story dealt with some real-life issues it didn't dwell on them or go into too much detail. I can't wait for the next book in the series! I highly recommend it!
I received this book free from the author. I was not compensated for this review. All opinions are my own.
