Contemporary Romance

 

Hannah Martinson has goals and dreams that don’t include a husband, kids and love. Work is her main focus in life and she plans to keep it that way. When she’s given the opportunity to enhance her company, LuxMax’s Daycare center with an unlimited budget, she’s thrilled and sure this will help her reach her goals. However the man her boss, Dennis, wants working with her, Linc Adams, has strong ideas and reasons why he wants nothing to do with the project. Hannah is shocked by his attitude as well as her strong reaction to the man, himself.
 
Linc Adams has reasons for not wanting any part of this daycare project. He tries to keep his personal feelings out of things but that may not work. He also can’t seem to control his feelings for Hannah. As they struggle with a project given only months for completion, they must also struggle with this powerful new desire and each other’s past.
 
Each has issues they must deal with, as well expectations for the future that may not blend very well. Can they find the joys of home in each other’s arms? Will they be able to move beyond the past to enjoy a future?
 
JOYS OF HOME is a story of finding love when you least expect it and learning what it means to respect others. Hannah and Linc’s romance starts off immediately and keeps them and you on edge, guessing how it will end. The romance and story build and hold the reader’s interest well. I found Mr. Hamre’s story to be good but at times felt there was something missing at the beginning. There are some interesting secondary characters that would be fun to see again, namely Hannah’s brothers and Pam. JOYS OF HOME was first published in 2000 by Dreams Unlimited. It is a contemporary story that will leave many readers pleased.
