This is an enjoyable sweet romance set in a small country town where everyone knows what everyone is doing, Antonia Farris has come to Flynn’s Crossing looking for the father of her twins and to start a new life, it is time she put her past behind her for a better future, not realizing that she would lose her heart to very handsome town councillor Flynn.

Antonia and her twins Sarah and Jacob have been through a lot but Antonia is determined to make life better for her kids and a small country town where their father Simon lives hopefully will be the answer. Meeting the ever helpful Flynn does things to Antonia’s heart and makes her wary, she has led a very different life for the last five years and having a man in her life is not what she wants now, but denying the pull between them is getting harder.

Flynn has lived here for quite some time and is a successful business man but he too has secrets that he keeps to himself and having a family of his own is not what he deserves, but when he meets the quiet and beautiful Antonia there is an instant attraction that he needs and wants to explore more but he feels that Antonia is holding something back and he is always patient as he gets to know her and her children.

I found this story a bit slow here and there, but the love that Antonia has for her children and the love that is growing for Flynn kept me invested in the story, there was some secrets that needed to be told and the small town is lovely with some great characters adding to the story, I didn’t know that this was a sequel, until I finished the book so I didn’t feel that I missed anything from not reading the first one. If you enjoy small town romances then this is a book for you.

The synopsis I read on The House at Flynn’s Crossing sounded like something I would enjoy reading. However, as many times as I tried to get into the book, I found it to be an OK novel that covers the same ground repeatedly and becomes rather tedious. Perhaps that method was to accentuate the slow progress the character of Antonia Farris is making to readjust to life after having been abducted and hidden for five years in a horrible situation.
I am sure many will find the book rich and enjoyable but for me, it was just not happening.
