About the Author:
A native Texan, Alison Kent sold one of her over fifty published works live on the “Isn’t It Romantic?” episode of CBS’s 48 Hours. The resulting novel, Call Me, was a Romantic Times finalist for Best First Series Book. She was nominated for the national Quill Awards for her 2005 Kensington Brava release, The Beach Alibi. Striptease, part of her popular gIRL-gEAR series, was an RT Reviewer’s Choice Award nominee; and her 2009 novel, No Limits, was a Cosmopolitan Red Hot Read. Alison is also the author of The Complete Idiot’s Guide to Writing Erotic Romance. If there’s a better career out there than writing, Alison doesn’t want to know about it, as she’s quite happy putting pen to paper in the backyard of her Texas home. She lives with her petroleum geologist husband, three rescue dogs (one a Hurricane Katrina survivor), and a colony of not-quite-feral cats. She battles the heat each year to raise a bumper crop of tomatoes and jalapeño peppers.
From Publishers Weekly:
The second installment of Kent's Hope Springs contemporary romance series (after The Second Chance Café) stands refreshingly alone, setting out a new situation with new protagonists and allowing background to remain background. Luna Meadows has been in love with Angelo Caffey since she was a schoolgirl, but the tragic and mysterious death of Sierra, Angelo's sister and Luna's best friend, tore apart their youthful romance and devastated the Caffey family. Angelo's been gone from their hometown of Hope Springs, Tex., for eight years, but when Luna buys his abandoned family home in a foreclosure sale, he returns for a last chance to uncover the secrets he's sure Luna is keeping about his sister's death. There's drama aplenty, and though the setting is nothing special, Kent uses strong, clear writing to emphasize the believable and not-quite-predictable character interaction that makes this series stand out.
