ARC Review: Return to Homecoming Ranch by Julia London

20662101
Kindle Edition
Expected publication: July 22nd 2014 by Montlake Romance 


Curly-haired Libby Tyler never stops smiling…until her beloved boyfriend suddenly forces her out of their home and away from his adoring kids. When she learns he dumped her for his flighty ex-wife, Libby’s sadness turns to fury—and she very publicly smashes his truck with a golf club, earning herself a trip to a mental health center for some “rest.”
Handsome, hazel-eyed deputy Sam Winters has been sober for two years. Afraid of backsliding, he lives in the mountains and keeps his distance from people. Yet he never forgot Libby, his former colleague at the sheriff’s office whose charm and cheerfulness always warmed his days.
Now Libby’s back, ignoring the townspeople’s whispers (and her ex’s restraining order) while desperately trying to make Homecoming Ranch a successful event destination. She keeps causing trouble for Sam, but he finds her smile more beautiful than ever…and his touch gives her thrills she’s never felt. Could these two lost souls mend each other’s broken hearts?




Once again we have Leo telling us the story, this time its about Libby (and Sam). I just want to know how Leo knows some of the things he does.

Libby had her world turned upside down over the summer, her boyfriend broke up with her then told her that she needed to stay far away from him and the kids. Kids that she had been like a mother to for couple of years, had grown to love like her own, kids that she was with 24/7 except when they were in school. That is a lot for anyone to handle, and the stress of Homecoming Ranch added on top of that would make anyone loose their shit, sorry. And yeah, Libby lost it, everyone in town was calling her crazy.
Enter Sam. Sam is the local sheriff officer, handsome & quiet. Well, Libby apparently can't abide with the restraining order from her ex, and Sam is too lenient with her. Ask me, and he should have put her butt in jail for a night. It might have woken her up a little sooner.
But low and behold, Libby did wake up and figure things out on her own-after getting in trouble more than once and Sam saving her tail.
Sam, he should have either spoke up sooner about his feelings for Libby or completely left crazy chit alone. But he is super kind-hearted, not to mention soft-hearted.
Madeline, she didn't pay much of a role in this book but when she was mentioned she was annoying.
And boom a surprise visit from Emma at the end!
Great book, great story and very well written- as usual from Ms. London!
I hope we get at least one more book- I'd love to hear about Emma, and of course I need to know what happens to Leo!
