One Fine Day: A Hearts Bend Novel by Carrie Padgett & Rachel Hauck

One Fine Day: A Hearts Bend Novel
ABOUT THE BOOK

All she wants is a fresh start...

Chloe Beason LaRue left Hearts Bend after high school, determined to never look back. She shed her unrequited crush on Sam Hardy, moved to Paris, went to pastry school, found a good job, fell in love, and got married. She was happy in France. Then her husband tragically died. Now, Chloe just wants to move forward…but when her mom’s health is in jeopardy, Chloe heads right back to Hearts Bend where she’s hired as head baker for Haven’s, the premier bakery in town. She has no idea that moving home will push her right into the arms of the man who broke her heart.

He's not looking to fall in love...

Tennessee Titans quarterback Sam Hardy has too many broken memories in Hearts Bend to Return. But when he’s sidelined by an injury, he desperately needs to invest in something to safeguard his future. Haven’s Bakery is up for sale—and his business partner believes the deal is too good to pass up. He has no idea that the owners have hired the one girl he can’t seem to forget…and the last thing he expects is to be her boss.

But it’s a recipe for romance…

Back in Hearts Bend for the first time in ten years and thrown together at Haven’s Bakery, Chloe and Sam have a second chance at first love. Indeed, the more time Sam spends selling pastries, the more he sees a new future. But when Paris beckons Chloe back, where does her heart belong? Can they find the recipe for leaving regrets behind and start something new?

Escape to Hearts Bend for a sweet story of romance, faith, and an unexpected happy ending.



MY THOUGHTS.....


One Fine Day is the perfect summer read! Two long-time friends find themselves in the same town after many years of living separate lives and there may be more than a renewed friendship in the making. Their attraction is apparent but they both have issues that they need to resolve.

Rachel Hauck and Carrie Padgett have created a story with many appealing elements. Who doesn't appreciate a charming small-town setting and two people who deserve a second chance? The addition of romance and a strong faith message make this a wonderful Christian romance, so grab a copy of One Fine Day and prepare to lose yourself in Hearts Bend, Tennessee!

I voluntarily accepted a digital copy of this book but there was no obligation for a favorable review. These are my own thoughts.

My rating: 4 of 5 stars
