Jasper Creek is home. I’ve lived here my entire life. So I couldn’t have been more excited when we bought the fixer upper on Libby Lane. That was until “we” became “I”. After I cried out every ounce of my heartbreak with a hammer in my hand, I learned how to be happy alone. Now, all I need is a porch swing, the warm country breeze and a glass of sweet tea. But when I run into Wyatt, the new cop … cop that just moved into town, my time in solitude begins to fade. I just hope trusting him won’t be one of the biggest mistakes I make.
This is not the type of place I would have pictured myself living. Jasper Creek is a far cry from the city streets I grew up on. But this town does have one advantage. Cora. Every minute I spend with her on that porch swing, breaks down a little piece of the wall I built inside of me. So when someone targets her and my instincts point to things getting dangerous, you may as well have taken a sledgehammer to that wall. Now my fear of leaving someone behind is replaced by an even greater fear. Losing her.

This was a sweet small-town romance that made me feel like I was there on Libby Lane in Jasper Creek hanging out with some friends and family. Cora was a sweet but tough country girl who loved her friends hard, loved her sweet tea, and strong willed. She meets the gruff Wyatt one day while running and gets herself injured and they quickly learn that they are neighbors. She soon realizes that there is more to him than meets the eye, that he is caring, loyal, hardworking, and she has a strong attraction to him. Wyatt is a cop and after his best friend is dies he realizes he never wants to be settled down and end up dying on duty and leaving a family to mourn him behind, but that all changes when he can’t fight his attraction to Cora any longer. There is twists and turns you don’t see coming, along with people aren’t who you think they are and makes for a mystery. I loved these two together they were perfect for one another and I’m glad that they find each other.

Hot dang!! This is a sweet and intriguing book. Wyatt, the new police officer in town, and Cora were both trying to start over without looking for a relationship. They met in a very unusual way. He quickly became the “rude cop” to her, until they start spending some time in her front porch at night.

What a great start to this charming new series! The story of Cora and Wyatt will melt your heart and you will fall in love with these characters. Cora is a young woman who is trying to put her life back together. She lives in the small Southern town of Jasper Creek where everyone knows you and your business, so secrets can’t usually be kept. When she meets Wyatt, a new detective, she feels that maybe he is her way to getting back on her feet. Wyatt has his reasons for moving to Jasper Creek and he isn’t looking for a relationship, but when he meets Cora, she just completely enthralls him! These two have such great chemistry, and not just in the “lust” kind of way. They are both moody, charming, funny and both will fiercely protect those that they love. Can Wyatt and Cora make a relationship work? When things start to happen to Cora, will these outside forces succeed in keeping them apart? This story is full of mystery, family, intrigue, lust and even possibly love! I truly enjoyed this story and look forward to reading more books in this series! I highly recommend it!
CE Johnson is making a name for herself with Libby Lane. This book has something for everyone and I couldn’t put it down. Wyatt and Cora met in an unlikely way and I knew they were going to give each other a run for their money in more ways then one. Their sass and fire combined with their love and devotion will make you smile. You need to read this book for the flowers, the box, sweet tea and porch swings alone. Just when you think you have everything figured out, there are a some surprising twists. This book has a healthy dose of suspense, humor, heartbreak, and betrayal combined with sweet and savory love. Libby Lane is intriguing and stole my heart!
