Their Mountain Reunion by Patricia Johns has Melanie Isaacs back in Mountain Springs after the dissolution of her fifteen-year marriage. After discovering that her husband cheated on her, Melanie is not sure she can trust a man again. She needs to figure out what she wants to do with the rest of her life as well as the lake house she received in the divorce. One day she receives a call from her old high school sweetheart, Logan McTavish. He needs her help in locating his father so he can deliver a box. The spark is still present between them, but they are both wary of venturing into a relationship. Can their broken hearts be healed so they can have a rewarding future? Their Mountain Reunion is the first novel in The Second Chance Club series. A group of women in Mountain Springs are getting a second chance at life after divorce. Angelina Cunningham owns the Mountain Springs Lodge and she issues an invitation to Melanie to join their group. Each woman has a different story on how her marriage ended and how it impacted her. I thought Their Mountain Reunion was well-written with developed, realistic characters and situations. It is an emotional story that switches point-of-view between Melanie and Logan. Logan is dealing with the death of his mother, discovering his deceased wife’s journals, and dealing with his father’s family. Melanie has only been divorced two months and she is still adjusting. She spent the last fifteen years with her ex-husband and her three stepchildren. Melanie is looking forward to quiet time and then her seventeen-year-old stepdaughter, Tilly shows up. Tilly is a spoiled young lady with problems of her own. This is a story that shows you a family is more than blood relations. I appreciated the epilogue which nicely wrapped up this sweet tale. Their Mountain Reunion is a heartwarming story about hope, new beginnings, second chances, and forgiveness.
4 1/2 STARS!
Starting over … with a blast from the past?? With the first book in her The Second Chance Club series, Patricia Johns takes her reader on a roller coaster ride of emotions in THEIR MOUNTAIN REUNION. The characters are easy to like, they both have baggage that has brought them back to the place they shared as high school sweethearts and the drama is fast paced. I enjoyed their story!
Melanie earns her stamp on a reader’s heart from the very beginning. She’s looking to heal after ending her fifteen year marriage and setting out on her own without her ex and the step-kids she raised. Reconnecting with her first love might be more than she bargained for.
Logan is doing some soul-searching of his own and reconnecting with Melanie in the house where he spent some of his childhood brings back more memories than he was expecting. He’s not sure where life is taking him, but he’s enjoying having her along for the ride for this leg.
I highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a sweet romance filled with lots of family drama, past wounds that need to heal and the reconnecting of friends and more. Emotional and satisfying!
This book is about hope, it’s about finding the good things in something that is hard, it’s about learning that family is more then just blood relations. Patricia Johns knows how to tug at them old heart strings, she once again takes you on a journey that will show you that the world is good.
