The girl he always loved ran away to join...the circus. But will a homecoming give him a second chance at giving her a reason to stay in this unrequited love romance?
Magnolia Bay’s development director, Cade Landry, would do anything for his town—and his family. So when the mayor—who also happens to be his father—decides to retire, he talks Cade into running for his seat. But Cade is already up to his dimpled cheeks in the town’s post-hurricane revitalization fundraiser—Magnolia Days, featuring a flashy Cajun Circus. If Cade can’t put the bay back on the map as a tourist town, he’ll let the whole community down…and worse yet, his father.
Rosalyn Dupree is a famous aerialist with a secret—actually, quite a few of them. Much to Cade’s relief, she agrees to return to Magnolia Bay for the first time in years as a headliner for the Cajun Circus. But neither her charming former school rival Cade nor her parents know she’s broke, in debt, and nursing a knee injury...among other things. She’d love to move back to the bay for good, but the beloved sport that used to let her fly has become her cage.
Despite her best efforts at resisting, sparks fly between Cade and Rosalyn as they work together on the circus fundraiser. But when everyone’s secrets are revealed and worlds collide, will Rosalyn find forgiveness and restoration in a town being rebuilt? Or will there never be anywhere to truly call home?

MY THOUGHTS.....
I enjoyed this return visit to Magnolia Bay, but it certainly wasn't calm or uneventful! A hometown guy is determined to rebuild Magnolia Bay after a destructive hurricane, a Cajun Circus comes to town, and its star aerialist is running from the Mafia. What else can happen in this small beach town? Oh, wait...how about an outbreak of food poisoning from frog legs?
Rosalyn Dupree's return to Magnolia Bay coincides with Cade Landry's fundraising efforts, and these longtime competitors face numerous challenges as they join forces to aid their hometown. Will these two perfectionists learn that accepting help from others isn't a sign of weakness? Can they admit that their efforts are good enough?
Author Betsy St. Amant shares a sweet romance laced with humor, faith, and a tantalizing physical chemistry between Rosalyn and Cade. I loved the character development, the captivating small-town setting, and Cade's second chance with Rosalyn! I recommend No Place Like Home to all who enjoy contemporary Christian romance.
I received a digital copy from Sunrise Publishing. There was no obligation for a positive review.
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
