Product Description
“Warm romance that is as sweet as ice cream and just as perfect for a relaxing spring day.” - Parkersburg, W.V., News and Sentinel.
When she was young, Steffie Wyler always knew exactly what she wanted to do with her life: 1. Make ice cream. 2. Marry the coolest boy in town. 3. Live happily ever after. These days, Steffie is the proud owner of One Scoop or Two, a wildly popular ice cream parlor. But the cool guy left town right after high school, before they could scratch the surface of their mutual attraction to see what, if anything, lay beneath. Steffie’s made a great life for herself in St. Dennis, but true love has never come knocking.
Wade MacGregor left for college in Texas and remained there to start a successful business with his best friend, Robin Kennedy, but he’s always felt something was missing. Then life throws him a curveball: A third partner has robbed the company blind, and Robin has died—but not before entrusting Wade with a precious secret. Now back in St. Dennis, Wade’s determined to do whatever it takes to protect his friend’s legacy—and to figure out, once and for all, if the sparks that fly whenever he’s with Steffie are just temporary fireworks or the lights in the window leading him home.

5.0 out of 5 stars
engaging warm contemporary romance, Mar 23 2011
By Harriet Klausner - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Chesapeake Diaries: Almost Home (Mass Market Paperback)
In St. Dennis, Steffie Wyler has been in love with Wade McGregor since they were small children. In fact her life goals were to make ice cream and marry Wade. However, once he left town for college and never came back she settled on one out of two. Thus she owns One Scoop or Two ice cream parlor.Co-owner of KenneMac microbrewery in Texas, Wade comes home to attend the wedding of Beck and Mia. Steffie and Wade spend a romantic interlude (a lot of coupling happened at that wedding), which revises her dreams, but he abruptly leaves for Texas. Nine months later, Wade's best friend Robin is dead and with him is a toddler as he returns to St. Dennis; the company closed. Steffie assumes he is passing through, but though he wants the best for little Austin, he also delays his trip to his new job in Connecticut as he decides to pursue Steffie to see if the sparks he always felt are the real thing.
The third Chesapeake Diaries home sweet home tale (see Coming Home and Home Again) is an engaging warm contemporary romance with several family related twists. The characters drive the story line as Steffie reacts to Wade's return with a son as strike three while he tries to make amends. Sub-genre fans will enjoy the latest visit to Maryland's Chesapeake Bay.

Excellent!, Mar 24 2011
By NCgirl - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Chesapeake Diaries: Almost Home (Mass Market Paperback)
I often read reviews, but I rarely take the time to post my own impression of a book. I love reading, but I do not enjoy writing. I made an exception for Mariah Stewart's Almost Home. I really could not put this book down. I love the characters of Wade and Steffie, and I had been anxiously awaiting this release. Almost Home is definitely my favorite of the Cheasapeake Series, although I have enjoyed the entire series. I am a long time fan of Mariah Stewart, and I love the FBI Series, the Mercy Street Series, as well as the earlier standalone contemporaries. I will not recap the plot, as that as been done much better than I could do, but I will say that although I usually prefer suspense, these Chesapeake novels have completely entertained me. Well done!

I was so happy to find another St. Dennis story. This is a great series with wonderful characters and a setting that makes a person want to move there. Can't wait for the next book.
