Product Description
Life was always just about perfect for Brooke Madison Bowers. She was the prettiest, most popular girl in small-town St. Dennis, Maryland, a prom queen, local pageant star, and the pride and joy of her loving parents. She even married the man of her dreams. But the promise of happily ever after fell to pieces when her husband was killed while serving in Iraq. Brokenhearted and longing for the solace of better days, she returns to the idyllic world of St. Dennis, and the familiar comfort of the family farm. Surrounded by her loving family and friends, she’s determined to build a new life, complete with her own cupcake bakery. She’s equally determined never to fall in love again.
For Jesse Enright, life has been a challenge. A fourth-generation attorney, he’s spent his life fighting to escape the shadow of his irresponsible father. Now he’s moved to St. Dennis to run the family law practice, and he’s ready to find the right girl, get married, and settle down. But his carefully laid plans go out the window when he meets Brooke and finds himself caught between the unbreakable law of attraction and Brooke’s resolve to go her way alone—despite the undeniable feelings Jesse stirs in her. But just like catching lightning in a bottle, is it possible to fall head-over-heels, heart-and-soul in love all over again?

NOT THE BEST IN THE SERIES, but an easy read, Oct 3 2011

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
I have read the whole series and will read any others she may add to the series. The first three were very good. This was mellow, nothing really exciting happening to the characters. The ending does suggest another book to come. An easy read but liked the first three better.

warm contemporary, Sep 27 2011
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hometown Girl: The Chesapeake Diaries (Mass Market Paperback)
Over two years ago, Brooke Madison Bower's beloved husband died while serving in Iraq. She never had time to grieve as the widow had to help their young child Logan with the loss of his father. Mother and son moved back to her family farm in St. Denis, Maryland where her mother and brother live. Brooke also opened up a cupcake bakery.Attorney Jesse Enright has also come home to St. Denis. He wants to prove to his family that he is not a chip off his irresponsible father; thus he joins his grandfather's law firm Enright and Enright. Jesse is attracted to the former prom queen Brooke, but the widow has vowed to never fall in love again while he has doubts about his paternal descendant (his father) being good enough for the mom and her son who he loves.
The fourth Chesapeake Diaries (see Home Again and Almost Home) is a warm contemporary tale starring two likable lead protagonists and the strong cast of St. Denis townsfolk. The story line focuses on a widow with an eight year old son learning to never say never following the death of her spouse who she was with since high school. Although straightforward with no major twists, fans of the series will enjoy a stop at Cupcakes.

Worst book of the series, Dec 31 2011
By CookieGirl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Hometown Girl: The Chesapeake Diaries (Mass Market Paperback)
This book took me two weeks to read. It was 300 something pages of absolutely nothing. I even found my self skipping pages of unnecessary chatter I didn't care about. I didn't feel a connection with any of the characters. Its a perfect little town with perfect people who have petty problems. Where is the drama,suspense, gossip, secrets, and mystery? There was no tension whatsoever in this book and the story was way too predictable.
