Familiar Stranger In Clear Springs

Familiar Stranger In Clear Springs

by Kathryn Albright

 My Review

This was a cute clean read that I enjoyed. The author has a great plot with very interesting characters. This is a story about the one that got away through no choice of their own. Sometimes things are taken out of your control which leaves you no choice but to carry on the best you know how with a badly broken heart. The only man Elizabeth ever loved walked out on her leaving her with a broken heart and no one to heal it. Four years later he is back wanting some answers. She is shocked shouldn’t she be the one asking question? It does seem things are not as they seem as they compare notes leaving a few things unanswered. With Tom back he starts to think maybe just maybe they could have a life together but first he must finish the job he started.

I really liked the characters each were wonderful in their own way. I didn’t think too much of Elizabeth’s brother and did expect that to come out a little different.  The author does throw in a few interesting twists. The only problem I really had with this story was there was not much interaction between the main characters. Most of the story was taken up with each remembering things or thinking about how they felt for the other. From the back cover I thought Tom was going to be kind of an alpha but he wasn’t. He was a really nice and sweet man. When you read the intro where he pulls her on his horse you think more is going on than it is. It was a cute story but nothing really comes out and grabs you that said YES YES yes. The ending is great with a big surprise. I just thought things would end differently with her brother.

I hope you give this a read you might find that it is one of the best books you have read. For me I just wanted more passion, more fire. I wanted to see sparks. The author does give a lovely story of second chances and starting over. Sometimes the one who got way is just waiting to step back in to sweep you off your feet.

Book Description

Back in the officer's arms…
Four years ago, Tom Barrington shared a connection with Elizabeth Morley that was like nothing he had ever experienced. But as a solitary soldier, he knew marriage was out of the question.
So when he strolls back into her life, Elizabeth can't believe it. He once broke her heart, and now he's back—more irresistible than ever! And when the dangers of Tom's lifestyle catch up with him, the question remains: can he be the safe harbor she craves?
