Charity Anderson has been running from Kings Meadow her whole life. A successful and popular author, she does the unthinkable while working on a deadline—she moves back home for the summer while her house is being renovated after a flood. Buck Malone, whom she just happened to have a crush on when she was growing up, lives next door to her parents' house. Circumstances bring them together, but can Charity move beyond her past fears and failures to enter a new life with Buck? VERDICT In Hatcher's second series outing (after Love Without End) the attention to detail brings the Idaho scenery to life and makes the plot believable. Sensitive subject matter (teen pregnancy and stillbirth) is handled delicately, with the protagonist resolving her issues. This fast-paced, adventurous love story will find plenty of admirers in fans of Tracie Peterson and Shelley Shepard Gray.—Shondra Brown, Wakarusa P.L., IN

Graham Rowat’s lyrical performance is immediately engaging, a necessary thing, given the brevity of this book. His lively narration highlights the story’s historical details. Best of all, his sober yet whimsical tone is perfectly suited to this story about a small-town girl who creates her own brand of science after persevering in uncovering the facts behind stories of the creature known as the griffin. Rowat’s modulations convey Adrienne Mayor’s fascination with the natural world, stories, and Greek mythology, which led to her discovery of fossils and other evidence proving that the mythical eagle-lion hybrid, observed and documented by Scythians, was, in fact, related to the dinosaur.
