Shellely Shepard Gray is one of my favorite authors whether she is writing Romantic Suspense, Contemporary Romance, or Amish Love stories, her stories are page burners. The Loyal One is part of a series called Walnut Creek. Each book in the series covers the relationship of one of a group of eight friends. In this one, Katie Steury finds herself struggling to follow her dream of turning her childhood home into a bed and breakfast. She finds herself needing to ask her friend Harley Lambright to help; but they have a history of misunderstandings and Harley may not want to help. However, Harley is willing to help but finds Katie is hiding a secret, one she doesn't want anyone to know, her mother's hoarding. He needs more help to do the job and she needs to learn to trust him.
Their relationship needs a second chance. No one is perfect and we all struggle with hurts and tragedies. This one is worth your time. In fact, I would get the whole series. Thanks to Netgalley for letting me read the ebook. The opinions expressed are my own.
