A Slice of Paradise

Lone Star Loves, Book 2

By: Nancy Lavo

Narrated by: Lisa Larsen

Can a taste of love cure the scars of yesterday?

Single mother and baker Eden Lambert arrives in quaint Village Green looking for a home for herself and her eighteen-month-old son, Jake. Her warm welcome by her elderly hostess, Mary Jo Piermont, is offset by the cold disdain of Mary Jo's self-appointed protector, Joe Wolfe.

At first, the long-legged blonde and her kid look like trouble to Joe. Mary Jo saved the builder's life years ago, and he will do no less for the woman he considers a surrogate mother. But as he keeps an eye on the unwanted guests, Joe's suspicions soon become replaced by admiration and respect for Eden's resolve and dedication to her son. With his background of abuse and abandonment, Joe is aware of the dangers facing the vulnerable and wants better for Eden and Jake. He offers her a business arrangement-he'll build her a bakery, and she can run it.

As they join forces to start the bakery, can they overcome the scars of the past to find a recipe for love?

I loved all the characters. Also the setting and details of MaryJo’s house and garden were captivating; I want to visit MaryJo!

I loved the whole story and the details about the Village Green and the various residents.

A Perfect Listen!

I love this feel good story from Nancy Lavo set in a small, Texas town where malicious gossip is bested by God’s grace. What wonderful characters who grow better as they encounter challenges. Lisa Larson is a great narrator. I’m sad this story had to end! Love this world and can’t wait for the third in the series!
