This first book of the Stirling Ranch series centers around Danny Diem and Lizzie Michaels. Danny and Lizzie fell in love years ago, but Danny’s upbringing, being less than stellar, left Danny, the boy and the man, filled with insecurities, doubts of himself, and fear that he would never be a good parent. Almost six years later, he still remembers the girl that stole his heart. Now penniless, after his mother stole from him, he gets a letter that he’s named in a will. When a trip to Butterscotch Ridge is in order, he never realized that his life would change forever. Not only does he discover he has a family and has an inheritance, but he also comes upon the girl he never forgot. Meanwhile Lizzie, a single Mom, is desperate to save her daughter’s life. Danny might be just the one to help. This was a sweet and touching story about second chances in life and love. It’s also a story about family, or lack thereof, and having the courage to take a step out of one’s comfort zone. It was a good beginning for this series. Though I know Mark’s story will be next, I can’t wait to find out how Luke finds his HEA. I was entrusted a copy of this book. The opinions expressed are solely my own.

I really enjoyed this story. Danny was given a chance to reconnect with Lizzie who had her own secret. The plight of a child brought them together so they had to deal with their past. I had so many tears throughout this one because of their child and how everyone stepped up to help. Danny was so troubled and isolated, yet he blossomed under his new circumstances. Lizzie's strength was borne of motherhood and saving her child. Together, Lizzie and Danny were hot. I highly recommend this story, and I look forward to the next in the series.

Accidental Homecoming is a phenomenal contemporary romance by Sabrina York. Ms. York has once again delivered a book that is well-written and that readers will love escaping into. She has also gifted readers with a stellar cast of characters. I totally love the characters in this book! After getting a letter in the mail Danny packs up to investigate his inheritance. Being surprised with family he didn't know he had, when Lizzie tracked him down and informed him he was a father and his daughter was sick, he was even more shocked. Lizzie and Danny's story is going to tug at your heartstrings with the drama, humor, sizzle and suspense. I loved this book from cover to cover and can't wait to read the next book in the series. Accidental Homecoming is book one of the Stirling Ranch Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger. I read a print copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
