Publishers Weekly Review

March's contemporary spin-off from her long-running Eternity Springs series is off to a promising start with this story of starting over. Several of the McBrides relocate from Eternity Springs, Colo., to the small town of Redemption, Tex., in Texas's hill country. Songwriter Jackson McBride and his two cousins are surprised to inherit the Enchanted Canyon Ranch, but Jackson soon learns that transforming the old buildings and ghost town into a resort and dance hall is a welcome distraction from the pain he feels over being separated from his young daughter, Haley. He hasn't been able to write since his marriage dissolved, but he finds inspiration again when he meets Caroline Carruthers, a travel writer. Caroline is attracted to Jackson, but hesitant about entering a new relationship after her May-December romance made her a young widow. She's not sure she knows how to stand on her own, but she's ready to turn the page by opening a bookstore in Redemption. March is skilled at writing page-turners with sympathetic characters, and fans will enjoy visiting with many friends from Eternity Springs who appear during the resort's soft launch. An improbable mystical component only slightly distracts from this classic story of two bruised hearts beginning to heal. (July) © Copyright PWxyz, LLC. All rights reserved.

Booklist Review

Jackson McBride and Caroline Caruthers first cross paths in the aptly named Redemption, Texas. Jackson, a songwriter, is still reeling from a judge's decision to rescind his shared custody of his daughter, Haley. Caroline, a travel writer, is trying to deal with the stress of placing her much older husband in a nursing home after his early-onset Alzheimer's becomes too much for her to handle. They meet again a year or so after Caroline's husband has passed away. Caroline is starting a new chapter by opening a bookstore in Redemption, while Jackson and his cousins are opening a bed-and-breakfast, restaurant, and dance hall in the nearby town of Ruin. Friendship quickly leads to a second-chance romance, but a tragedy threatens to push them off the path to happiness. This is the first book in the McBrides of Texas series, a spinoff from March's popular Eternity Springs series. Fans of Debbie Macomber's Cedar Cove series and Robyn Carr's Virgin River series will find much to enjoy in the start of this new sequence.--C. L. Quillen Copyright 2019 Booklist
