About this ebook

She returns home. He watches over her. Then they both find out the truth, amongst a killer…a day too late.    

Years ago, I left Clarkstown with a sour puss on my face and better hopes for the future. But what I ended up with was extra baggage, in more ways than one, and even more reasons to leave. Now that I’m home, I’m not sure if Austin Walters looks at me with pity, hatred…or something else, as most of the town folk do. But when he figures out the real reason why I left, he looks at me in a different light. Even more importantly, he realizes more of what I need now that I’m back.  And now I seem to look at him and everyone else differently, thanks to him. 

Whinny has changed a lot. It’s too bad that my family and my hometown can’t see that. Never the thorn in anyone’s side, as she thought she was, Whinny left. But now she’s back, and she needs help. Mama always says that there’s no point existing if we can’t help each other. So, I do, regardless of the warnings and looks I get in the process. As I’ve told her many times before, Whinny is one of a kind. I just wish she’d believe it.   

With a new baby arriving in the family, another wedding, and a renewed hope for Whinny, none of us realizes that a stranger from Whinny’s past is on his way to Clarkstown…with a gun in his hand and a score to settle.

Ratings and reviews

This is book three in The Big Heart, Small Town Address Series and it is Whinny and Austin's story and omg it is definitely a must read. This is Ruby and Blake's wedding day and there is a bomb so the guest's are Sent to safety and the brother's deal with everything else but the people responsible are still at large and dangerous so they will have to be found and dealt with before anything else can happen. Whinny hasn't had a easy life and she was ridiculed for being overweight and it made her life help with all the comments that she had to put up with so as soon as she could she left her hometown and went to live in California as she was a freelance web designer and could work anywhere but now her dad is really ill and she needs to return to her hometown to help her parent's once again along with all the bad memories. The more time that Whinny and Austin spend together the stronger there feelings for each other grows and they are so perfect for each other and you find yourself hoping that they get a happy ending and omg what an explosive cliff hanger ending and I can't wait to read the next book in this series to see what will happen next. I absolutely loved this book and I couldn't put it down and I recommend that you read it and other books by Sandy Appleyard who is an amazing author and writer and her books are definitely worth reading. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
