Sarah Smile: Halos & Horns: Book Two Kindle Edition

by Lori Leger (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 60 ratings
Now that her abusive ex-husband is out of her life, Sarah Richard is savoring her freedom. Surrounded by people who treat her and her babies like family, the three of them are thriving. Though occasionally haunted by nightmares from her violent past, she struggles to put it behind her. With a loving surrogate family, good friends, and a new career, all she lacks is a man in her life. The question is, will she ever be able to trust another man with her and her twin daughters’ hearts?

Dr. Tanner Collins is running from his own sordid past. The man has left a trail of women from one end of Louisiana to the other, and through half the state of Texas. Even when this bad boy tries to be good, he has women throwing themselves at him at all hours of the day and night. When his admiration for Sarah turn into something stronger, he keeps his feelings in check, knowing he’ll never be near the kind of man she deserves.

When Tanner rushes to Houston to be with his parents during his father’s illness, he’s forced to deal with hidden resentments toward his upper crust parents. At some point he accepts the fact that situations aren’t always as obvious as they seem on the surface.

Note from the author:

The Halos and Horns series is filled with new characters you’ll love, along with frequent appearances of old favorites from my La Fleur de Love series. Enjoy!

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Sarah Smile" is the kind of short romance one looks for when the need to escape for an afternoon hits. The characters are likable, the situation fun to explore and, of course, the happy ending is satisfying...." ~ InD'tale Magazine

"...This is contemporary romance at its finest and Leger is the master oflikable characters mixed with down homey life in Louisiana's smalltowns. Another winner for Ms. Leger!" ~ (5 Stars) Kim Hornsby, Award Winning Author and Goodreads reviewer

    I enjoyed this book just as much as Lori Leger's other published work ... and I've read them all! She has a gift for developing new characters, giving you a more detailed insight into the main characters, blending that with glimpses of characters from her other books and molding them into an enjoyable novel. Although this book is part of a series, the characters and storyline stand well on their own. If you haven't read her work, it is worth the time and modest cost and will likely make you want to read more. I was first introduced to Lori's writing from a free amazon.com download and enjoyed it so much I purchased the others and will be looking forward to her next release.

    I don't give a five star very often but I enjoyed this book. I didn't read one first so I feel like I missed out but book two didn't keep me in the dark. I felt like I got to know the characters well enough. There was no side story going on like murder or some other mystery just a love story and other characters were introduced. I have book three downloaded and starting it now and it picks up where two left off. I like the authors style of writing.

    Book one probably is the best of the three, usually is in a series but I don't back read.

    Sarah Smile was written like a Christian book, even though I don't think it is. It has that feel good, super innocent everything is magical thing that Christian romances have. I don't know if that makes sense, but that is how it felt to me, and if you have read Christian romances before maybe you know what I am talking about. I kept expecting the God talk to come out, but it never really did.

    This is the first book I have read by this author so I wasn't already familiar with the characters. I don't think that mattered much as you got to know them in this story. Maybe they had more of a back story in a different series, but it was fine.

    The story itself was simple and it was a quick read. I still enjoyed it. Sarah and Tanner obviously like each other, but Tanner doesn't think he is good enough for her. They keep getting thrown together at different times, and once Sarah finally tries to do something about it her brother comes and messes everything up. I didn't really like that as I thought come on Sarah, you are not even going to see what he has to say for himself? You are just going to go with what your brother saw and call it good? Really? I thought you were better than that. I thought you would at least have heard him out. And even if what you thought happened had happened, well so? It is not like you were dating or anything. But of course everything magically works out with everyone involved. Tanner has a rocky relationship with his parents? Fixed. The misunderstanding? Fixed. Everything fixed. Happy ending all around.

    Overall this was a quick, light read. Fun, but nothing too amazing. Still enjoyable.

    I always love Lori's style of storytelling. I've read every book she's written and she breathes life into each character. As a long time country music lover I really enjoy how Lori uses song titles and entertainers as inspiration and woven in her plots and stories. Sarah Smile by Jimmy Wayne is a perfect song to wrap a story around. The description on page 124 of the DJ playing Trace Adkins tribute to marines, "Semper Fi" made me cry(He is a favorite singer of mine) While reading any of Lori's books I feel I KNOW the people and share their lives with them. I like that each book is a separate story but how each one contains a circle of friends I'd love to spend time with. Only bad part is when I close the back cover of a book always waiting to see what happens next. Thank you Lori for another beautiful story.

    Sarah is finally safe and can raise her twin daughters without looking over her shoulder. Tanner is a playboy, but can't seem to get Sarah out of his head. Will the two of them get together? Sarah's brother, Mitch - a Marine, comes back for a visit. He wants to make sure that she doesn't get hurt again. He couldn't be there for her when she was married to her loser husband and wants to be there as much as possible to look out for her now.

    I liked this book and would recommend the whole series to anyone!
