SYNOPSIS
Crying into an iced coffee in front of a stranger isn’t high on anyone’s priority list but …
Gracen Briggs has history in this valley—deep roots, dead dreams, and an ex whose smiling face she sees plastered all over town, every single day.
Wonderful, right?
Malachi Anders left things unfinished here, too. All his trouble and traumas … God knows he already spent too much time trying to leave it behind.
He never wanted to come back.
She can’t find a way out.
Welcome to the valley.
It’s a long road home.

Somewhere along the foggy Acadian Peninsula of northern New Brunswick sits a small valley town with more than one secret being whispered up and down its sleepy streets. These Valley Days features standalone couples, and every book brings someone—new or old—back home where they belong. With a HEA, of course.

I am not sure how I feel about this one, I have mixed feelings because I didn't love it but, I didn't hate it either. I will say that I had a hard time getting into the book at first but, after that, it was smooth sailing. And that right there is the crux of my mixed feelings, the story and the characters of the story that normally draw me right in and have me falling in love with Ms. Kris's characters right from the onset of the story, that did not happen for me. We can say we liked the characters well enough, but, I can't say we fell in love with any of them. I loved how independent Gracen and Delaney were and how in sheer determination and hard work they did the unthinkable at such a young age a defied the odds and made something of their selves. Love seeing strong independent woman in a story and how they defeated the odds.
We can say we were rooting for Malachi and Gracen to have more than a few enjoyable nights together, early on you could see how perfect they could be together. Gracen deserved happiness.Malachi seemed like a bit of a lost soul. We loved the Malachi was a bit of a mystery and had that bad boy vibe about him.
Overall, the story piqued our interest as we believe something sinister is going on in that small town. There are so many unanswered questions, and we have a feeling we know who is behind the mysterious things happening in this sleepy town and why Delaney and Gracen are the targets, or is it Malachi? Regardless of my feelings being mixed, we did love the ending, and we are glad Malachi did not let us down, we can say he even surprised us. The story left you wanting more, and we are looking forward to getting more answers next time around.
