Talulah’s Back in Town by Brenda Novak

Coyote Canyon Series (Book 1)

MIRA (August 22, 2023)

Sometimes the past we leave behind leads us right where we belong.

Talulah Barclay doesn’t like complications. Unfortunately, they seem to love her. Fourteen years after leaving her fiancé at the altar, Talulah returns to her hometown of Coyote Canyon, Montana, to settle her great-aunt’s estate. As she’d feared, her “runaway bride” reputation is waiting right where she left it, and her ex’s best friend, Brant, isn’t about to let her slip by unnoticed.

Brant has always been a loyal friend, but Talulah’s decision to run isn’t the only thing he hasn’t forgotten. He remembers more about Talulah than he cares to admit. Vividly. And it’s increasingly difficult to ignore her now, especially when they find themselves in close quarters. Talulah has no plans to stay in town after she fixes up her aunt’s Victorian farmhouse, even if the unbridled sparks with Brant give her a good reason to linger. Besides, bailing on relationships is kind of her thing. But a lot has changed since Talulah last turned tail—maybe her heart has changed, too?

REVIEW

Light, fun romance that reads very well. The two main characters had great chemistry. Talulah had quite a few issues and Brant was very committed and protective. Her small town hasn’t forgotten that she left 14 years ago, and most do not welcome her back. While I didn’t really like that they tried to hide their relationship, I did get why and also it’s a fun romance read and not real life so I didn’t let it take my pleasure away. Secondary character, Ellen, has me wanting her story told. Give this a read, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.
