Description



About the Book



From the bestselling author of The Convenient Groom (now a beloved Hallmark Original movie), comes a story of unconditional love and second chances.



Book Synopsis



They thought their love story was over. They thought their divorce was final. They were wrong.

Following his divorce, Noah gave up his dream job and settled at a remote horse ranch in the Blue Ridge Mountains of northern Georgia, putting much-needed distance between himself and the former love of his life. But then Noah gets a letter from the IRS claiming he and Josephine are still married. When he confronts Josephine, they discover that she missed the final step in filing the paperwork and they are, in fact, still married.

Josephine is no happier about the news than Noah. Maybe the failed marriage--and botched divorce--was her fault, but her heart was shattered right alongside his, more than he would ever believe. The sooner they put this marriage behind them, the better for both of their sakes.

But when Josephine delivers the final paperwork to his ranch, the two become stranded in his cottage during the worst spring snowstorm in a decade. Being trapped with Josephine is a test of Noah's endurance. He wrestles with resentment and an unmistakable pull to his wife--still beautiful, still brave, and still more intriguing than any woman he's ever known.

As they find themselves confronted with each other and their shared past, old wounds surface and tempers flare. But when they are forced out into the storm, they must rely on each other in a way they never have before. Josephine finally opens up about her tragic past, and Noah realizes she's never been loved unconditionally by anyone--including him. Will Noah accept the challenge to pursue Josephine's heart? And can she finally find the courage to trust Noah?

From the bestselling author of The Convenient Groom and A December Bride (now beloved Hallmark Original movies) comes this charming romance full of second chances and rekindled love.

Sweetbriar Cottage is an amazing story of second chances and true love. I had a hard time putting it down, and was dying to see what would happen next. I loved watching the way the story unfolded. Hunter had me wishing I could dig into their past to see what caused their divorce in the first place. She did an amazing job at writing their emotions, I could literally feel their frustration. Noah and Josephine were happily married once, what happened that caused them to drift so far apart? How does someone get over a broken heart? In Noah's case, he moved to the mountains and does everything possible to avoid his ex wife. That is until he receives a paper in the mail saying he is still married to her. Josephine is just as shocked when she hears the news, but agrees to do whatever necessary in order to fix it. Going out of her way, Josephine drives out to Noah's house to help speed along the process. Little does she know, a big storm is on its way and it's right behind her. Being stranded with someone you hurt deeply is no easy thing. Learning to not bite each other's head off also fits into that category. Should they get to the bottom of their failed marriage and give it another try? Or are some transgressions too much for forgive? I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a book about second chances. I enjoyed the bits of humor and suspense mixed in. Hunter took me to another place, and I even found myself a little chilly while reading about the snow storm. I can't wait to see what she writes next. I received a copy of this book from Thomas Nelson Publishers. I was in no way required to post a review. All opinions expressed are my own.
