New Release & Review – Mine Again by Andrea Thome
Synopsis
Delilah Spencer is a rolling stone. A big city attorney from Chicago on a temporary work assignment in Sunflower, Montana.
Ranger Beckham’s Sunflower roots run deep. Three generations to be exact. The high school band director and single father is adrift, fresh out of a marriage of convenience. He’s all but given up on finding true love.
Until he bumps into Delilah, the fixer with trust issues who has a hard and fast rule: never get attached to the places she visits or the people in them. They strike a deal when the chemistry between them burns too hot to ignore, convincing themselves they’ll be able to part as friends when Delilah’s gig is up, no matter how scorching things get between them.
But the slower pace in tight-knit Sunflower is a balm for Delilah’s restless soul, and it becomes impossible to imagine leaving Ranger or Montana behind.
Will Delilah break her own rules and finally put down roots, or will she cut and run when her contract is up, leaving Ranger and the life she never knew she wanted in the rearview mirror?

Review
I love small town romance stories. Set in Sunflower, Montana, we discover Delilah, who is a nomad at heart, discover that maybe setting down roots isn’t a bad thing. Especially, when the object of her affection is a hot music teacher. My band directors never gave me pause, and I love the career option this author used for her male protagonist.
Delilah is a traveling attorney who is afraid of wildlife. I got a chuckle out of her reactions to various animals in nature, especially the daddy long legs spider that showed up in her apartment. At least she has Ranger to help her.
There are sparks flying between these two, and while Delilah thinks he needs to move past his divorce that happened the day she arrived. This is an amicable divorce, and he is still friends with his ex, but Delilah thinks it would be uncouth to hook up with him so quickly. Luckily, Ranger has other ideas.
There is also Lucy, Ranger’s stepdaughter, but he raised her as his own. I loved seeing the strong male father figure for her.
There is humor peppered throughout the book, and I found myself laughing and reading quickly to see what these two would do next.
If you enjoy small town romances, you will want to pick this one up.
