Special Delivery

Special Delivery by Laura Browning

Welcome home to Mountain Meadow, Virginia—a small town with a big heart, where love is just around the corner…

All Holly Morgan wants is a safe place to have her baby. Nestled deep within the Blue Ridge Mountains, miles away from her abusive ex-fiancé, Spence, Mountain Meadow seems perfect. Holly can manage a few meddling church matrons if it means Spence can’t find her. Harder to handle is Jake Allred. He may be a dark-haired hunk, but he’s also someone Holly can’t trust: a cop.

Since his time in the military, Lieutenant Jake Allred has lived to protect and serve. And if anyone needs protection, it’s Holly. Having been let down by the law before, she’s wary of letting Jake into her life. But when an unexpected snow storm strands them together, their attraction is hot enough to melt the mounting ice. Just when Jake thinks he’s finally warmed Holly’s heart, Spence strikes. Now it’s up to Jake to save Holly’s baby and bring their fledgling family back together.**

Holly is running from an ex-fiance. One time together and she got pregnant. Now he wants her to give him the baby. Just give it to him and leave the baby behind! That man is seriously crazy. So in the dead of night, she takes her brother, that she's raising, all of her belongings and leaves. Going until she feels she's gone far enough, and I guess that was Mountain Meadow. There she finds a place to live and a job. Getting her brother settled and trying to prepare for the baby. When she is put on bed-rest, things take a turn and she has to depend on others. 

Lieutenant Jake Allred is back in Mountain Meadow after serving his country. He's an officer and notices a boy at the general store, sitting outside. When a woman rushes in and picks him up he can't help but be attracted to her. She's pregnant though so that means she's off limits. When he sees the boy walking home, he picks him up and takes him home. He notices that Holly is standoffish.. She's wary and he wants to know why. 

Holly and Jake are instantly attracted. He wants the family to fill up his home and he thinks he may of finally found it. I really loved being able to see them fall in love. It was a nice surprise to also get a second story from Jenny and Evan. Reconnecting and new connections. This story pulls you in and makes you want to read more. So the author love in the form of a review!
