The Broken Trail by Christa MacDonald

Let's start with the book summary:

Katherine Grant takes the job at Sweet River Christian Academy hoping a small town in the wilderness of Maine will be a vacation from her high-powered career and a break from the emotional toll of the secrets she has buried deep. With the school director on a power trip and evidence of shady dealings, there’s nothing relaxing about it. Maybe it would be easier if she wasn’t so distracted by Captain MacAlister, the local cop she can’t get along with, yet can’t get out of her head. She didn’t trek up to the middle of nowhere to lose her heart.

Mac doesn’t need the kind of trouble he believes Katherine will bring. He’s got enough to deal with from poachers to drug crime. Mac has rules to maintain his faith, like avoiding the pull of an attractive woman who doesn’t fit his life. But when he meets Katherine, he’s drawn in by her intelligence and strength, despite getting burned by her quick temper.

When near tragedy strikes, Katherine reveals her feelings, and Mac doesn’t hesitate to respond. If only their scars, both seen and unseen, didn’t threaten to tear them apart. Two wary hearts must soften and two steel wills bend if they have any hope of making it down the broken trail to love.

And now, my review:

Oh, pick this one!!!  What a delightfully penned story!  I SO enjoyed it!!  It had me laughing and longing to keep on reading.  It was well-developed, felt real, the flow of it was well thought out, and I thoroughly enjoyed it!!  I love it when an author has characters that are “real” and they have issues that are realistic and you get to see how it all turns out.  I also enjoy it when a book makes me laugh and that happened quite a bit.  I REALLY can’t wait to read book 2 and other books by this author!

I recommend that you give this one a try.  If you’re like me, you won’t be disappointed!

I received a copy of this book for my honest review.
