I had read only one book by Courtney Walsh before I was notified by Amazon that through my Prime account I could borrow the audiobook of Hometown Girl. Well of course I downloaded it immediately. I mean, what’s not to like — a wonderful author and a free book! 😉 What I got reinforced that

Walsh is a must-read author for me. Hometown Girl is a contemporary romance (not always my first choice in genre), but there is nothing fluffy about it. It is full of wonderful characters with the same struggles as you and me. Their past mistakes and failures haunt them, just as false perceptions of place and purpose keep them from finding their Why. Add a charming and close-knit community, a couple of quirky characters, and a decades-old mystery, and this book had me hooked! I’m not sure I would recommend the audio-version. Not because it wasn’t excellently read, but because you will want to read this one straight through! 😉 I read it in 1 hour increments on my morning walks, but would have enjoyed it more if I could have read it throughout the day and the night.

I think Hometown Girl is a winner. I cannot wait to dig into more books by Courtney Walsh.

Highly Recommended.
