About Book
A Chapel Springs Romance
Jade returns home to Chapel Springs after years of protecting her fragile heart. Then along comes Daniel, making her long to dance again.
Creative and complicated, Jade McKinley felt like a weed in a rose garden growing up in Chapel Springs. When she left, she thought she’d never look back. But now, pregnant, alone, and broke, she has no other choice but to return.
The mayor of Chapel Springs, Daniel Dawson, has been an honorary member of the McKinley family for years. While his own home life was almost non-existent, Daniel fit right into the boisterous McKinley family. He’s loved Jade for years, but she always saw him as a big brother. Now that she’s back, his feelings are stronger than ever.
As Jade attempts to settle in, nothing feels right. God seems far away, she’s hiding secrets from her family, and she’s strangely attracted to the man who’s always called her “squirt.” Finding her way home may prove more difficult than she imagined.

My Thoughts
Jade McKinley moved to the big city with big dreams for her future. But things took an ugly twisted turn at least that is how Jade saw her future. When she made the surprised move home she ended up on the doorstep of Daniel Dawson the Mayor of Chapel Springs and childhood friend. He is not just a friend but like part of the McKinley clan and like a big brother but what she doesn't know is that Daniel does not see as a little sister. He would do anything for Jade.
Jade feels bad that she has convinced Daniel to keep her secret. She trusts no one not even God. Daniel is the only person that knows the real reason Jade returned home. She will trust Daniel to help her even though she is having feeling for him and they are not a brother and sister type of feeling which she finds kind of wierd.
In this story God played a big roll in orchestrating the McKinley's and the Dawson's families lives to create his plan for Jade and Daniel.
Denise Hunter keeps writing these amazing stories that I am unable to set aside. It did not take me very long to read this book. It had heartache, trials and tribulation, reconciliation, blossoming love, and a family that loved beyond all expectation. It had me needing to grab a tissue one page and then laughing the next. I loved the fact that Jade's family loved unconditional. Then on the other hand Daniel's family was not nurturing at all except for his grandmother that raised him with love.
Keep the stories coming Denise I can't wait to read what you have brewing in your head as it all comes together for us greedy readers to enjoy.
I highly recommend this book.
I rated this book a 5 out of 5.
