Publisher's summary

For single mother Kayla Brady life is hectic raising a rebellious teenage daughter and running her own business. Longing to date again, and perhaps find love, she prays for the right man to come into her life. What she did not expect was a man on a motorcycle with tattoos, a charming smile, and a mysterious past.

James Cole knows what it is like to have chaos in one’s life, but now he is looking at starting over in the picturesque mountain town of Hopes Crest, Colorado. James is determined to turn over a new leaf and put his past behind him, so he applies for a job at the local diner, A Taste of Heaven, and is immediately drawn to the owner, Kayla. Is she the answer to his prayers?

Love is never easy, and for these two lost souls to get the happily ever after God is offering them, Kayla must find a way to see beyond James's past, and James must find the courage to let her know who he once was.

Welcome to Hope Crest, Colorado, a town unlike any other!

A refuge for those who are hurting.

A home for those who are lost.

And a place where the brokenhearted are made new once again.

Pull up a chair, grab your favorite drink, and meet all the people who make this town a place you want to call home!

Starting Over is a clean, stand-alone contemporary Christian romance with no cheating, no cliffhangers, and a guaranteed HEA.

looking for someone new

I really, really enjoyed this book. I was looking for a book to listen to and I have not heard about this author so I wanted to give her book a try. I am glad I did. This was a very good story. It had me tearing up. All things work together for good to them that love the LORD and so many lives touched and changed because of one accident...

Heroin too naive but will still get next book

I like all the characters except for the mom. Too insecure and naive for me to like her much or have much compassion or connection with her. The rest was very good and I like the authors note a great deal. Will try another one in this series and see if I enjoy the heroin better.

Sweet!

This is a sweet story with all of the right parts in all of the right places. The narrator had just the right tone. When she spoke of God, there was reverence and warmth in her voice that convinced the reader it was heart felt.

Interesting characters

I found the story believable and inspiring. Narration was very good, but I've heard better, thus the 4 stars. Not everything can be a 5! In any case, it never detracts from the story. Clean romance with some mild suspense thrown in. Nurse midwives will love it!

My new favorite!

It was so inspirational and so many parts of it made me think of my own life, how God has been there time and again and reminded me to keep the faith… for He has a future planned for me for good.
