Under an Indigo Moon: a Holcomb Springs Small Town Romantic Suspense Book 2, (Paperback)

"The area vaguely included their new town in Wildernessville, California. real name, Holcomb Springs. But it could have been the other side of the moon as foreign as it felt to them being from Arizona." Carissa is ready for a fresh start. Her youngest needs more therapy, so she feels like that provides a good reason to move. Packing up her two sons seems overwhelming. But soon starts to connect with other members of the small town California community. If only, there was not a mystery attached to the house that she purchased. Perhaps getting to know the deputy sergeant will be helpful on many accounts. This book tells the story of a brave single mom who wants to do right by her kids. One of her boys is on the autism spectrum, and this is a direct nod to the author's son. If your child does not like change, relocating can be difficult. While this certainly presents complicated circumstances, I love how the author shows that taking care of your children, even one who has some challenges, is always a worthwhile pursuit. I feel like this book opened my eyes to a new perspective. While there is some suspense in this book, I would say that it is mostly of the cozy variety. And I really liked that angle. Trying to determine what happened to a missing young man several years ago does drive part of the plot. But it does not take over the storyline. This case seems like one that could actually happen down the street from any reader, but I certainly hope that it doesn't. Romance for a single mom is definitely complicated. I like how Carissa and Jonas are able to connect even with kids. Putting other's needs before your own is an important part of any relationship. I am a fan of J.L. Crosswhite's books. She is a must-read author for me. I already read book one in the Holcomb Springs series, and I look forward to reading the next book too. I was able to borrow this book through Kindle Unlimited.
