Halfway Home by Maddie Taylor {a review}

Halfway Home by Maddie Taylor is now available! Oh how I enjoyed this small town, slow burn romance! You should definitely pick it up.

Everyone can see that Nate and Audrey love each other. Yet they both think their love is unrequited. If they could just stop for a moment, and really take a look at each other they'd see what's right in front of them.

"You two are the most oblivious pair I've ever come across in thirty-eight years on this planet. For all your much-lauded observational skills, Sheriff Dawson, if you had eyes, you would be able to see the girl is in love with you and has been since--well, forever."

Because of their inability to do so, they lost out on a lot of time together. The death of Audrey's Grandma is what brought her back to Halfway Nebraska, and also back into the life of Nate Dawson. Unfortunately the death of her Grandma has also brought Audrey's mom back into town. And where Kay Porter goes, nothing good comes from it.

While I did shed a few tears while reading the story, I also found myself chuckling a few times. Especially when Grandma Charlene made her presence known when Audrey returned home.

Loved the story, the setting, and the characters. I would love to return to this setting! I need to see Brad Dawson get his happily ever after. Okay I'd also love to see Nate and Aubrey in the background of his story. 

I hope you'll give this book a read. I truly enjoyed just about every moment of it.

Thank you for taking the time to read my thoughts,
Laura

Is a chance at the love she’s always dreamed of enough to make her stay?

Nearly two decades after she left Halfway, Nebraska, Audrey Porter returns to the small town she once called home following the death of her beloved grandmother. With Nana gone, she must protect the family farm from her opportunistic mother. It isn’t long before she is reminded of all the reasons she moved away. Though she no longer lets the small-town gossips bother her, ignoring the rekindled feelings she has for her teenage crush proves more difficult.

For the last twenty years, Nate Dawson has been the hometown hero. High school football star, cattle ranching royalty, and now the county sheriff, he is admired, desired, and respected. But beneath his controlled, no-nonsense exterior is the tender heart of a young man who never forgot the girl who got away. With Audrey finally within reach, the smitten sheriff is determined not to waste his second chance.

As Audrey works through her grief, battles her mother in court, and wrestles with the decision to keep or sell the farm, Nate refuses to let her push him away. Will surrendering to the love she has always wanted bring Audrey home for good?

Now available on Amazon!

About Maddie

USA Today and #1 international bestselling author, Maddie is a lifelong reader who became a romance junkie as a teen with her first romance novel, The Wolf and the Dove by Kathleen Woodiwiss. From then on, she was hooked, and gobbled up everything she could get her hands on, whether contemporary, historical, paranormal or sci-fi. If there was romance to be found between a strong alpha male, and a sassy, adventurous and ofttimes defiant yet loving woman, Maddie was all over it. As an author, she stays true to those themes writing steamy erotic romance, with a side of kink, and adding elements of intrigue, danger and suspense to her plots.

Maddie started writing as a hobby. Her stories stayed private while she raised a family and worked full time as a registered nurse. It wasn't until 2012 that she decided to take the plunge and submit her first book for publication: Captain My Captain. She went on to publish eleven novels the first year.
