Leah Williams is back in the quaint town of Heritage, Michigan, and ready to try again to make her business a success. But blank slates are hard to come by, and a piece of her past is waiting for her there. Heir to the Heritage Fruits company, Jonathan Kensington is the guy who not only made Leah's past difficult, he also seems determined to complicate her present as well. Jon is trying to prove to the Heritage Fruits board that he, not his manipulative uncle, should be running the business. The board insists Jon find a new owner for the building that will house Leah's business. To avoid forcing a buyout of Leah's part of the building, Jon strikes a compromise with Leah, and the two go into business together. With her vision and his know-how, it might work. And Leah might realize he's loved her since high school. If only he didn't keep on shooting himself in the foot by boxing her out of important decisions. Sparks fly in this romantic story of two people who must learn to trust both each other and the one who called them to this journey.… (meer)

Some books have a lesson that touches you.

Then, there are other books, books like Since You've Been Gone, where the lesson just reaches out with each smooth turn of the page with a brush of love from the author's heart to paper and then into a reader's touch. The way she wove such a careful story of redemption, healing from wounds inflicted by those who should be the ones you can always go to, and that each and every person is special was one not easily forgotten.

Tari Faris is an auto need to read, where is my copy, kind of author. She's been that way since I read You Belong with Me when it first came out. The way that the characters come to life, the town becomes a piece of your heart, and you never want to stop reading it makes me wish there was more.

Jon, oh, okay, Jon! He's just so close to stealing Nate's place as my favorite of the guys, but so are Luke, Grant, and Colby, oh, and I can't forget Chet! They are just such sweet guys that I loved reading about. The girls are also so awesome, can I just be Hannah when I grow up? Yeah, and then there's of course Leah. Yikes, it was crazy relating to her about things but not being able to imagine what happened to her and her family in the past. And, sweet Jimmy! I loved finding out what happened with him though I totally called it. Abby is somebody I really want to see more of in the future.

The sibling relationship/guardianship and raising a little sister for Jon and Abby were so bittersweet... I worried there for a bit that there wouldn't be an outcome I liked. Did I like it? More than I can say but you need to find out for yourself if you agree on that ending!

As happy as I am that this series has ended, I am saddened to leave the world of Restoring Heritage and the characters that are now like old friends.

Warnings: 18 due to romance, past abuse, mentions of drinking/drunks, unwed pregnancy before the book starts and a character knows God, etc. Mentions of attraction, sexy is used, some other focuses on attraction.

I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book which I received from the author. All views expressed are only my honest opinion. ( )

A book of second chance, Christian romance with a touch of mystery. Main characters, Leah & Jon, have known each from since high school and are now partnering together to get Leah's former store up and running. Set in a small town in Michigan, with all the charming qualities we all love. Definitely a Hallmark movie feel to this one. I must admit, I haven't read the first two books in this series but that didn't stop me from enjoying this one. I had no trouble reading this as a stand-alone but I do regret not having read the other two books first. Revell Publishing & NetGalley.com provided the copy I read for review purposes. All opinions in this review are my own.

Rating: 5 Stars!!
Review:
Thank you to Revell and Librarything for picking me to win this FREE ARC COPY in a giveaway last year!!

This was my first time reading a book/series by Tari so i wasnt sure what to expect but i have to say, i think i found my NEW FAVORITE Contemporary Romance Series!!

The Characters were so interesting to read about. Leah, Abby, Colby and Madison ended up being my favorites in this book not just cause of their connections and backstory but also because i could relate to some of the issues they were going through especially with Abby who lost her parents and didnt know how to find happiness/enjoy life again which i can relate to since losing my dad 5 months ago.

The Setting was beautifully described which made me feel like i was actually in Heritage, Oregon while reading.

This book reminded me alot of The Hallmark Channel Movies Sweet Autumn and Daisy Hills both from the characters to the setting and everything inbetween.

Overall a Phenomenal Contemporary Romance about Friends, Family and Waiting for God's Perfect Timing!!

Can't wait to read more by Tari in the future!!

This book was enjoyable, but not memorable. I know that I enjoyed reading it, but I do not remember much about it , therefore I did not give five stars. ( )

Another gem from Tari Faris! I’m not a huge contemporary romance fan, but this was just right. I really liked the characters and their story made sense to me. Great book! ( )
