My Book Beginning:  

Waking Hearts (Cambio Springs Mysteries, Book 3) by Elizabeth Hunter

Allie Smith took a deep breath and closed her eyes, trying to contain the temper threatening to burst through her calm façade.  She glanced down at the plunger sitting in the clogged toilet and tried to decipher the legal gibberish of her lawyer who was on the phone.

My Thoughts:  Lol…as if dealing with a clogged toilet isn’t bad enough then throw in legal gibberish and your day really has gone down the drain.  I can totally sympathize with her and how she’s feeling.

My 56 is from the Kindle Version - 56% of Waking Hearts by Eliabeth Hunter

     He didn’t interfere when she cleaned the kitchen or did laundry, but he protested if she tried to do any housekeeping, complaining she was taking Vicky’s work.  They still couldn’t agree about bills.  But he was as affectionate and steady with the kids as he’d always been, even if the looks he gave Allie went far beyond affectionate. 

My Thoughts:  I’ll be honest – I would not complain about someone helping me with the housework…lol…also sounds like there’s a possibility of a romance heating up!    

About Waking Hearts (Cambio Springs Mysteries, Book 3)

by Elizabeth Hunter

When everything you’ve longed for is standing right in front of you, would you find the courage to chase it when you’ve given up on dreams?

Fox shifter Alison Smith gave up on happy endings when her ex-husband walked out, but that didn’t mean she was allowed to give up on happy. With four growing kids, Allie is determined to look on the bright side and carry on, even when life seems to keep kicking the girl who’s fallen down.

Four kids, two jobs, and a pile of debt left over from her ex seem overwhelming most days. Luckily, Allie has the best friends a girl could ask for. Especially a certain quiet bear who’s always been her rock.

Patient. Oliver Campbell knows what it means to be patient. But twenty years of wanting one unavailable woman may have pushed him to the edge. With Allie working every night at his bar, their friendship has begun to fracture.

Then old ghosts offer one more kick to the little family that’s already down, and patience is a virtue Ollie can no longer afford. Allie’s ex-husband may be gone, but his actions are haunting his family. With danger licking the borders of Cambio Springs, the bear and the fox will have to work together. And twenty years of unspoken truths may finally come to light.

WAKING HEARTS is the third paranormal romance novel in the Cambio Springs Mysteries series.
