I am a really big fan of this series and even though I missed reading the second book I had no problems jumping back into Snowberry Creek. This is a solid and well written romantic with good secondary characters, continuity from book to book (although this would be fine as a standalone), and a landscape you feel you could just walk out into - all Alexis Morgan trademarks, amazing to find so complete in all of her books. At first I wasnt sure if I liked Spence but thanks to Melanie we see a much softer side to him and he loses some of the bitterness. Alexis Morgan is great at writing about the broken war hero and she does a fablous job with Spence.
Melanie is a great heroine,I liked that she fought for what she wanted and never lost hope that she could put her life back together as well as help Spence find happiness in his. I wish that there had been more interaction with Melanie and Callie but all in all I was very happy with everything in this book. As with all of the Snowberry Creek books this one deals with a lot of the issues that soldiers come back with after serving in a war. Alexis Morgan isn’t afraid to talk about these issues and show the struggle that not only the soldiers go through but what their significant others go through in trying to help them.
A Reason to Love is a multi-layered novel that will appeal to fans of romance, mainstream fiction, and family sagas. Alexis Morgan exceeds her own high standards of excellence with a work that compares favorably with the best writers. The romance between the Spencer and Melanie feels genuine and touching, but the heart of the tale lies with the secondary characters who populate the sub-plots. I really enjoyed the novel and appreciate that some of the usual tricks were absent. If you read a lot, then read this novel. You will not regret it..
