In time for her ten-year class reunion, Meg Taylor is lured back to the tiny town in northeastern Arizona where she suffered through high school. Overweight, step-daughter to the principal, she was anything but popular. Now she’s slim, attractive, and accomplished—but wary of all she once knew.

Except for Jim. “Little Jimmy” McAllister was one of her best friends. Ten years have changed him, too. (No one calls him “little” anymore!) He always cared about Meg and seeing her again enhances those feelings. He wants her to stay, permanently, but Meg, the daughter of a serial-marrying mom, can’t imagine herself in “happily ever after.” What will it take to change her mind and bind her heart to him?

*Ride the Rainbow Home is the first in a series of twelve sweet romances set in quirky Rainbow Rock, Arizona, a fictional town in the magnificent Four Corners region, verging on the Painted Desert and the Navajo Nation. Updated in a new, revised, 2021 edition, it heralds the re-release of this beloved series. Visit the author's website, susanaylworthauthor.com, to learn how to get the prequel FREE.

 

The Road Less Traveled By Kimberly Rose Johnson

Sunriver Oregon is one of my favorite destinations. In past visits my husband and I discovered a trail that is just outside Sunriver, but we were always on foot and never able to make it to the end of the trail. That changed recently. We brought bikes!

We had no idea where the trail would lead us, mostly because we never noticed the map at the beginning of the trail until this past trip. Personally, I think the map is new.;)

As you can see from this picture the trail wove through some rustic terrain. We kept alert for wild animals, but only saw rock chucks. Kind of disappointing, but what was to come made the lack of wildlife okay.

 

This bridge marked the end of the paved trail. Years ago when our boys were kids we hiked the trail on the other side, but had come to it from the trailhead at the opposite end. Since I only have a street bike, taking the dirt trail was not an option, so we turned around and headed back.

I couldn't resist taking a selfie to commemorate finally making it to the end of the mystery trail. :)

LOL Those lines on my face are weird sun/shade marks not my skin. My hubby is in the background. We thoroughly enjoyed taking the road less traveled and plan to do it again someday.

In my book A Love to Treasure, school teacher Nicole Davis, goes to Sunriver for the summer. She definitely knows how to take the road less traveled as she follows the clues to a scavenger hunt her late grandmother sent her on. What follows is an exciting adventure filled with mystery and a little suspense. 

Do you ever take a road less traveled? I'd love to hear about it in the comments.

Family Dynamics and Storytelling by Merrillee Whren

 Families can be shelters from the storm, or families can be the storm themselves. When I write a book, I love to explore family dynamics. Birth order, number of siblings and their ages, extended family, occupations of parents, divorce, and single parenthood are just a few of the things that make up family dynamics. I especially love to put kids in my stories. 

Falling in love can sometimes bring trouble if either person comes from a family that is broken. Someone who comes from a loving and secure family situation may not understand the person who comes from a family where love doesn't abound. Parents who lead a troubled life influence the lives of their children. Those children may not see falling in love as a positive thing. They may be reluctant to enter into a romantic relationship because they fear repeating the unhappiness of their parents. 

My upcoming release, MIRACLE BABY, features a hero who comes from a very broken family and a heroine who comes from a large, boisterous, loving family. The book releases on June 24. Today is the last day to get the preorder for 99 cents.

Celebrating Dads by Cindy Flores Martinez

 

If you’ve read enough books written by Sweet Romance Reads authors, you know many of them have swoon worthy dads within their pages. With Father’s Day coming soon, I think it’s the perfect time to celebrate the dads we love.

While doing research on the history of Father’s Day, I learned that the man who inspired the holiday, William Smart, was an amazing dad. When his wife died unexpectedly at a young age, he raised their six children on his own. His daughter, Sonora Smart Dodd, wanted to honor him, so she worked to make Father’s Day a holiday in 1910.

During the first years that Father’s Day was celebrated, it wasn’t as popular as now, but as the role of fatherhood changed, so did the interest in celebrating dads.

Today's dads have inspired us to keep celebrating them. We are continually moved to bring them to life in the pages of our books.

To all the dads out there, thank you and Happy Father’s Day!

Summer Adventures by Josie Riviera

Can you believe we are halfway through the year already?

The world is opening up as the pandemic is winding down. I find myself wanting to explore, try new things, and experience exciting adventures.

Having watched others post online about their new ventures, I want to have one too! The question is, what kind?

Should I take a French cooking lesson?  A cross-country trip exploring national parks, or venture to Europe and explore castles? 

How about hot air ballooning or whitewater rafting? (I'll pass!)

I prefer spending restful days at the beach, or even in my backyard, reading a good book.
