Is Love Strong Enough to Overcome the Walls They Hide Behind?

Montgomery Chandler has moved to NOAA headquarters in Newport, Oregon to make new, happier memories for his children after his wife died of a lingering illness.

SPOTLIGHT BOOK 3 

A KITE ON THE WIND

Claire couldn’t get Monty’s wind-burned face out of her mind that evening. She hadn’t realized how much she’d anticipated seeing him again. Nor did she understand the depth of her eagerness. They’d shared only a few encounters since they’d met, yet in her mind the man seemed like a friend she’d known for years. She fixed a light supper and picked at it while she watched the news. Nothing tasted good. Television held no appeal. She dragged herself to the papers she needed to review for tomorrow’s school day. The only image filling her mind tonight stood a little over six feet tall, with short, sandy hair, a shadowed beard on his chin, and piercing blue eyes.

“You’ve got it bad, kid.”

Love Calls Her Home by Patricia Lee-Spotlight

Welcome to the Blog + Review Tour for the Mended Hearts series by Patricia Lee, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!

ABOUT THE BOOK

BOOK 2 “LOVE CALLS HER HOME”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Title: Love Calls Her Home

Series: Mended Hearts #2

Author: Patricia Lee

Publisher: Mountain Brook Ink

Release Date: March 1, 2018

Genre: Inspirational Contemporary Romance

Can a hurting boy help two broken people find their way back to love ?

Lissa Frye returns home from the Navy hoping to find a different future—one which includes a husband, marriage, and a family, until news from her sister impacts Lissa’s personal life and derails her plans.

Kurt McKintrick, having lost his best friend to an IED in Afghanistan, has returned to help the man’s mother run a horse rescue ranch. Images of war plague him, and thoughts of anyone else he might love falling victim to an untimely end, distance him from the person most likely to help.

Eleven-year-old Jayden Clarke seeks to fill the ache in his heart from his father’s death two years before. But his life is turned upside down when the rancher who befriended him is found dead, the horses neglected, and the dog missing. When authorities arrive to investigate, Lissa and Kurt, estranged after a former relationship, are forced to meet again. Lissa must confront images from her past and Kurt struggles to live with his present truth.

Will Jayden be the catalyst that draws Lissa and Kurt back together for a happily ever after?

 

SPOTLIGHT ON BOOK 2

“LOVE CALLS HER HOME”

Kurt did as instructed, stopping the pickup so the hood pointed away from the property. A tall, lithe form popped out from the big barn doors, the image caught in his side mirror. Kurt’s pulse raced.

Every bit as professional and alluring as she’d been in her Navy uniform the day he’d met her, Lissa stood waiting, hands on her hips. She wore a brown shirt and green pants denoting her current position, the trim uniform accentuating every curve. Her hair dangled in wispy curls about her face, the mass of brown she only let down in private, with friends—with him—still captured in a neat bun. He gave thanks she hadn’t worn her hair down today or his resolve would have flown out the window, along with the shreds of his heart.

He licked his lips, lifted his baseball cap, and ran a hand through his hair. Glad he’d taken time to shave this morning, he followed Peggy’s lead as she stepped from the cab. He watched Lissa’s face, waiting for recognition to appear in her eyes. His heart thumped like the foot of an animated rabbit.

ABOUT THE BOOK

BOOK ONE

“AN ANCHOR ON HER HEART”

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Title: An Anchor on Her Heart

Series: Mended Hearts #1

Author: Patricia Lee

Publisher: Mountain Brook Ink

Release Date: August 1, 2017

Genre: Inspirational Contemporary Romance

Can they keep their friendship pure when their hearts long for more?

McKenna Nichols, a young wife abandoned by her husband in favor of his work, is left alone to raise their autistic child. She promised to love him until death parted them. But when circumstances drive a wedge into their marriage and Dane chooses to escape what life has dealt them, how long can she be strong? Can she remain faithful to her marriage vows when tempted by the friendship of an unlikely stranger?

Rudy Taylor, who senses McKenna’s loneliness and understands the difficulty of raising her daughter, struggles to keep his concern for the young woman biblical. Will McKenna’s faith in God and Rudy’s commitment to his Lord be enough to keep their relationship simple until McKenna’s husband one day returns?

 

SPOTLIGHT ON BOOK ONE 

#An Anchor on Her Heart#

A heavily tattooed fellow, head wrapped in a red-and-yellow bandana and left ear sporting an earring, approached from the back of the room. Though Rudy didn’t know him, the man’s gaze penetrated his and the purposeful stride toward Rudy made him nervous. He glanced around to see if any others sat in the vicinity, but he remained the solitary diner in the corner. The sailor spoke to different ones as he passed them, but his attention remained focused on Rudy. As the big guy reached the table, he broke into a wide grin, a day’s growth of beard shadowing his jaw. “Hey, there. I’m Gonzales.” He stuck out his meaty palm, the little finger missing its top joint.

“Taylor.” Rudy stood and grasped the outstretched hand—muscled, calloused, and confident.

“Nice to meet you.” Where did these characters come from?

Gonzales gestured for him to sit, grabbing a side chair beside him. “I saw you bow your head over your food a few minutes ago, and I said to myself, you must walk in faith.”

SPOTLIGHT ON THIS BOOK

An Anchor on Her Heart

As teenage sweethearts, she and Dane used to race down this street toward the ocean. She’d hold his hand at the top of the berm separating the beach from the town, letting the turbulent air tangle her hair around her face and neck. Dane would lead her to the sand, and they’d sit, his fingers straightening the unruly locks, his kisses tickling her ears. Nothing separated them, all of life waiting like a well-written fairytale.

Until Sydney changed the story for Dane.

SPOTLIGHT ON THIS BOOK

LOVE CALLS HER HOME

Lissa couldn’t imagine city-boy Kurt working at a horse rescue facility—mucking stalls and stacking hay. His experience with farm animals could be bundled in a shell casing. But maybe he’d needed a change from military life in the sandbox of Afghanistan as much as she’d needed solid ground under her feet after the Navy.

What would Kurt think when he discovered she’d sent him a dirty little filly? Or when she stood waiting by the barn as he drove up? If there was a more original way to get reacquainted, she didn’t know what it might be. She couldn’t wait for Tuesday.

SPOTLIGHT ON THIS BOOK 

A KITE ON THE WIND

She hadn’t grown up on the Oregon coast and assumed the north Pacific was all surf and sand. She’d never have guessed the shore could be covered in white, nor had she seen it this way, even in pictures. Mounds on the beach turned into oversized marshmallows. Driftwood transformed to fanciful fences. Did this happen often? On the sand? In November?

Yet here snow fell—sloppy, fat flakes fluttering down like a curtain of white fairies on a theater’s stage opening night. The quiet drift of the airborne dancers made her pulse race, their presence evoking memories from her past—images she’d tried to forget.
