Book Review - WALK ME HOME by Liza Kendall



A feel-good, funny second chance romance proves it's never too late for love in the small Texas ranch town of Silverlake.

Firefighter Jake Braddock is used to fixing things, and he's never met a problem he couldn't solve--except for his sweet ex-girlfriend Charlotte Nash.

Charlie Nash has been a big-city girl ever since her family made a clean break from their small town, after the tragedy that drove a wedge between Jake and her wealthy parents. She's never gotten over abandoning Jake--and he hasn't, either.

Then Charlie returns to Silverlake to stand as a bridesmaid opposite Jake in her cousin's wedding. The event sparks awkwardness, laughter, and heartbreak as they dance to the tune of the craziest bride in the west...and repair broken family bonds.

Can their long-lost love find a second chance?





4 Stars

The start of a new series which means many characters to meet. This was also my first Liza Kendall read and I am sure I will be reading more. A book charged full of emotions, regrets from the past, hurts from the past, unwanted sparks for old flames, to new feelings of moving forward and healing.

Charlie hasn't been back to Silverlake in a long time. Her family moved away after the tragic fire that killed her Grandmother. She left her heart in Silverlake all those years ago with Jake, sure she has tried to move on but has always been unsuccessful. She is working and getting by but not loving what she does in Dallas. Could this trip back for her cousins wedding reopen some deep wounds, or could it bring her the peace of moving away from past regrets?

Jake has managed to make a name for himself in the community of Silverlake as part of the fire rescue team, despite that fateful night long ago and the accusations that came with it. He lost so much in that week of the fire, his second home, a family he felt part of, his best friend and his girlfriend. How does one move forward from that as a teen. Jake managed with his head held high thanks to Chief George. In the blink of an eye it all comes crashing back to him when he runs into Charlie for the first time.

Can Charlie and Jake make peace with the events of the past? Is there a hope that they can be friends at the very least? Could everyone get the answers they looked so hard for so long ago? Can hearts mend and heal?

Looking forward to seeing who gets their story next in this new series.
