Rekindled (Fountain Creek Chronicles Series #1)

by Tamera Alexander

Overview

AT A DIFFERENT TIME,
IN A DIFFERENT PLACE,
UNDER DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES...
COULD TWO PEOPLE FALL IN LOVE ONCE AGAIN?

Ten years ago Kathryn Jennings mad a vow. For better or worse. And that promise still holds true, even though her marriage has not turned out as she expected. When her husband fails to return home one stormy winter night, she struggles to keep their ranch, but her efforts are blocked at every turn. After a shocking glimpse into her husband's past, Kathryn uncovers a hidden truth. What she wouldn't give to turn back time and be able to love her husband for the man he was, not for the man she always wanted him to be.

Larson Jennings has spent his entire life running from a broken past, unable to trust, reluctant to try again. One fateful night, his life takes an unexpected twist, and soon he is forced to make a choice. Whatever he chooses, his decision may cost him his life.

Tamera Alexander pens a compelling novel of God's grace and the hope of love rekindled. I was hooked from the first and sorry when the story was over.
--Tracie Peterson

Heartbreaking and hopeful, Rekindled is a love story that will keep you turning pages long into the night...

What People are Saying About This

Glenda K. Bauerle

"This was a truly wonderful novel. The pain that these two wonderful characters live with, loving each other so very much, yet unable to give their all in making their marriage the very best it could be, with complete trust and openness. The lessons learned through all the secondary figures interwoven into the story make both understand just what had been missing in their relationship."

"It doesn't happen to me very often where I'll read a story and put it down because I'm getting all teary eyed and can't see the words on the page anymore, but it happened while reading REKINDLED. I applaud Miss Alexander on a terrific debut book!"
—Romance Reader At Heart

Julie Kornhausl

"Rekindled is a fabulous Americana second chance at love (if he takes it) romance. The inspirational story line grips readers from the moment we begin to understand what motivates the "battered" Larson to behave as he has. The support cast enhances the audience’s perceptions of the lead couple with several capable of starring in their own tale. Subtly interwoven into the plot is a deep message on what matters in your one time at life. Readers will look forward to more stirring Fountain Creek Chronicles."

This is a novel that should easily find it's way into your hearts and onto your keeper shelves!"

LoveRomances.com

"I found REKINDLED to be a truly heart-tugging and inspiring story. In her first novel, Tamera Alexander does an excellent job creating three-dimensional characters that seem like real people and settings that are easy to visualize. REKINDLED is a story of love, loss, and second chances. Readers will ache for both Larson and Kathryn and wish they could find a way to express their true feelings for one another. They'll also feel for Kathryn and the difficult time she faces after Larson leaves. The secondary characters are just as compelling, and I suspect some of them will end up with their own stories down the road. REKINDLED has suspense, action, romance, and an inspiring message about what's truly important in life. Don’t miss out on Tamera Alexander's debut novel, and the first story in the Fountain Creek Chronicles."
