About this eBook

More Than Words: Bestselling authors & Real-life heroines

Each year, the Harlequin More Than Words award is given to three women who have worked hard to change people's lives for the better. Inspired by their accomplishments, three bestselling authors have written stories to honor these real-life heroines.

In Good Neighbors, Meredith Lange hopes that she and her son can start over in Icicle Falls, Washington. Her family's cabin is the only thing she's got left after settling her late husband's gambling debts. But on the first night in her new home, Jed Banks shows up, claiming to be the cabin's rightful owner. Then her son, Leo, starts getting into trouble at school.

Jed offers to help Leo adjust to life in Icicle Falls. His charitable organization, Youth Power, pairs up troubled kids with a responsible teen mentor. But how can Meredith accept Jed's help? He may be a devoted advocate for young people and a very attractive man, but he's also trying to take away her home…

Look for all three ebooks inspired by real-life heroines: Good Neighbors by Sheila Roberts, Just Joe by Carla Cassidy and Light This Candle by Cindy Dees.

Ratings and reviews

I liked the book, but only gave it 4 stars because of a discrepancy I found... anyone else catch the mistake starting in chapter 6... Leo came home after his 1st day of school with a black eye and Meredith gave him a bag of frozen peas for his eye. Then the text mentions that a few days have passed and Meredith receives a call from the school about Leo skipping class... later that day she us lecturing him... then all of a sudden he has a frozen bag of peas pressed to his eye...

My advice to you is to read the books without checking the comments. There are some comments like this is a lame book but I for example I think it was a very nice story. This is not the only book with some negative comments but let's face it .... we all have different tastes.

This was the worst book I've ever read. The details were rushed. The plot was flat. There was no imagination involved whatsoever. My 9 year old wrote a better story than this one 6 months ago. I give it zero stars.
