Description

If it was only about her, she might never have come back to Rose Bend.

But it’s not only about her anymore.

Sydney Collins left the small Berkshires town of Rose Bend eight years ago, grieving her sister’s death—and heartbroken over her parents’ rejection. But now the rebel is back—newly divorced and pregnant—ready to face her fears and make a home for her child in the caring community she once knew. The last thing she needs is trouble. But trouble just set her body on fire with one hot, hot smile.

Widower and Rose Bend mayor Coltrane Dennison hasn’t smiled in ages. Until a chance run-in with Sydney Collins, who’s all grown-up and making him want what he knows he can’t have. Grief is his only connection to the wife and son he lost, and he won’t give it up. Not for Sydney, not for her child, not for his heart. But when Sydney’s ex threatens to upend everything she’s rebuilt in Rose Bend, Cole and Sydney may find that a little trouble will take them where they never expected to go.

Don’t miss With Love from Rose Bend, Naima Simone's next heartwarming book set in the idyllic small-town of Rose Bend!

What a beautiful, emotional story. Sydney shows back up in her hometown pregnant and newly divorced hoping she can start over with her (future)child. Cole (Coltrane) is trying to just make it through the day after losing his wife and son. The attraction between Sydney and Cole is immediate and yet not what Cole wants and he is going to try his darnedest to avoid. Of course these two get thrown together and again the attraction is evident and harder for Cole to deny.
This is also a marriage of convenience story, Cole offers to marry Sydney to make sure her ex husband can’t fight her for custody. This offer is tough for Cole to make but also one he doesn’t want to take back.
I really liked Sydney and the way she finally started to stand up for herself and realize what she and her baby do deserve. I enjoyed how we were able to see how her relationship changed with her parents and how it started to heal Sydney. I enjoyed this book and I can’t wait for Wolfgang’s (Cole’s brother) book. When you read this book prepare for some tears and have a tissue handy!

Written by one of my very favorite authors, The Road to Rose Bend is a beautiful (and sexy) story about new beginnings and coming home.

Sydney Collins left Rose Bend for bigger and better things and is now back, single and pregnant with an ex-husband hot on her heels over the baby. Her parents are not her biggest fans and she is, for all intents and purposes, alone.

Coltrane Dennison, Rose Bend’s mayor, is a heartbroken man trying to get on with his life after losing his beloved wife amd baby in childbirth. He has a loving family behind him but he is grieving so much that he truly is, for all intents and purposes, alone.

They become the balm each other needs to recover and nobody is as skilled as Naima Simone in delivering on a beautiful, sexy and intense story that warms your heart, makes you swoon and that you cannot put down!

Long live Queen Naima!
