Sometimes the perfect match is the one you never planned on.

After divorcing her unfaithful husband, Ashley comes home to Echo Ridge hoping to build a fresh start for herself and her two young sons. Romance is nowhere on her agenda—she’s had enough heartbreak to last a lifetime. But when she takes a job helping her future brother-in-law’s best friend, she quickly realizes her heart might not be as closed off as she thought.

Scott has practically surrendered in his battle with the business’s bookkeeping program. Women aren’t even a blip on his radar—until Ashley walks through his door. She brings order to his books with surprising ease… and brings warmth and laughter into the quiet corners of his life. The more time they spend together, the more he’s convinced they belong together.

But Ashley’s still healing, and trusting again feels like stepping into dangerous territory.

Can Scott show her that love the second time around can be steady, safe, and exactly what she and her boys deserve?

Second Chances

After a difficult divorce to a man who was never faithful, Ashley must decide whether she can ever trust again. After moving back to Echo Ridge with her two boys she has the opportunity to make a fresh start. And her new boss Scott may be just what she needs. But is she ready to put the past behind her and allow herself to be happy? I enjoyed this book and the theme of starting over again. I thought it was great for characters from the other Echo Ridge books to appear again in this book. I also read this book in one day.

Scott and Ashely seem to bring out the best in each other.

Scott and Ashely seem to bring out the best in each other. Scott is patient and kind with Ashely's kids, and with her trust issues from her previous marriage. Ashley is happy to have extra work and have her kids along side her, and even better getting to see Scott as she helps him get his office under control. Ashely's work allows Scott to work where he wants, also showing him the happiness he misses. They have a great story, and I love the small moments of other characters we've met in Echo Ridge.

Sweet read!

This sweet and clean read was such a joy to read that I had a very hard time putting it down! The storyline was well written and the characters were well detailed which made Ashley and Scott very likable, believable and engaging! I enjoyed this book so much that I ended up reading it in one sitting!

Finding Home

This was a sweet and clean romance involving Ashley, who is recently divorced and has two, adorable children and Scott, who is the company president of his family's business. I really liked how easily Scott became involved with Ashley's children, Zach and Stockton. I also liked seeing Damon and Ashley's sister, Haley get married after reading their story before this one. Echo Ridge sounds like a nice place to live and Scott sounds like a keeper too! I received a copy of this book and I willingly chose to write an honest review.

A Perfect Afternoon Escape

I love all of these Echo Ridge Romances! I love the little town of Echo Ridge. It's the kind of place where everyone knows everyone and they all help each other out as best as they can.The characters in this one are fabulous. I really liked Ashley. I could totally understand her point of view. Her husband had cheated on her and left her with two little boys to take care of. Her ex-husband also expects her to jump through all kinds of unreasonable hoops. She works hard to take care of her kids, even taking the boys with her to her job. When Scott needs some additional help with his business finances, she jumps at the chance to earn a bit of extra money.Scott is just trying to keep his family business afloat, but he has more office work than he'd like and Ashley taking that off his hands gives him the chance to work on other aspects that he's been neglecting. It's a win win. And even more so as he starts falling in love with not only Ashley, but her two adorable boys as well. I loved the way Scott goes out of his way to do things for Ashley and her boys. He provides toys for them to play with when they're at his family business, and even takes them for a walk when they get antsy. Scott's always looking for a way to help her out.Something that's kind of fun about the story in this book is that Ashley is her sister, Haley's, Matron of Honor and Scott is the best man of Damon, Haley's fiance. I loved the way they had multiple ways to get to know each other and plenty of time to fall in love, even though Ashley wasn't sure she ever wanted to fall in love again!This is a cute, clean, fun romance that you won't want to put down! It's a perfect afternoon escape!
