Her Homecoming Wish

Her Homecoming Wish gives us a bit of a role reversal. Mack doesn't want to be the good girl anymore, and as Sheriff, Dan has put his bad boy side behind him. It's interesting that these two are still complete opposites while trying to be the opposite of what they were. Needless to say, they're going to have to find some middle ground. They do have great chemistry right from the start, and I enjoyed their journey. From what I understand, this is part of a series, and even though I haven't read the earlier books, I had no problem figuring out who's who in this town. The story is well written and engaging, and the characters are likable and easy to relate to. As I mentioned, this series is new to me, as is the author, but I will be watching for whatever she does next.

Being the good girl got her no where. When her brother started going off the rails she chose to be the one that was no trouble at all. Anything to get away. And get away she did. Now she was back and ready to turn over a new leaf. Gone was the good girl. He had changed. No longer the bad boy now deputy do-right who followed all the rules and put safety first became who he was. He was taking on the world and she was casting her cares away. Between the two of them is a fire that burned since they were younger, but and yeah there's always a but. The author does a great job bringing out the things that come between them and why while keeping a level of intrigue and suspense. I love that the chemistry between the two didn't take over the story and there was plenty going on to keep the story moving. Love the friends and characters that added flavor to the mix.

Her Homecoming Wish by Jo McNally Gallant Lake is a small community with warm friendships in need of more of a police presence though Deputy Sheriff Dan Adams and another man do their best to maintain control. Dan grew up in town and once was a troublemaker instead of a peacekeeper. With more and more drug overdoses and the fear that drugs are funneling into and through town he is on high alert most of the time. Mackenzie “Mack” Wallace is back in town to pick up the pieces of a marriage that blew apart and to help her father run his liquor store as he heals from injuries sustained in a fall. Mack knows Dan well as he was a friend of her bad-boy brother and part of the group that used to act out in the past. She has always been considered “good” and perhaps that is due to the fact she was trying to be the opposite of her brother. She says she is ready to change her life and is ready for adventure. This was an easy-to-read romance without much drama between the male and female lead characters. They fell into their relationship and it grew steadily. Dan had a few hangups lingering from his past and a need to be perfect on the job but he did care deeply when he chose to. Mack was easy to like and made friends easily though in high school she was a bit standoffish and didn’t have many friends at all. She had a dream for her life that fell through and was making a new one after moving back to town. There is the additional side story of the narcotics, drug running and putting a stop to it and that is all tied up in a bow at the end as is the HEA for Dan and Mackie. Did I enjoy this book? Yes Would I read more in the series? Perhaps Thank you to NetGalley and Harlequin-Special Edition for the ARC – This is my honest review 3-4 Stars
