I just got an amazing review: “Newton[‘s] … knack for developing a strong hero and heroine whose love story, with its mild romantic scenes, quickly immerses the reader. A sweetly charming read.”—Library Journal Newton, Christy. Begin Again. Crimson Romance: F+W Media. Aug 2013. 113p. ebk. ISBN 9781440571633. $4.99. CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE In this earnest tale from Newton (Stolen Hearts), Indiana diner waitress Maisie Scott doesn’t think that love is in the cards. She lost both her husband and the baby she was carrying in a tornado. Now her focus is on saving enough money to move out of her sister’s basement. Her sister means well by giving her a pet hamster for company, but Maisie can barely take care of herself, let alone another living thing. Exotic-pet veterinarian Ryan Tucker moved to Pleasant Valley in hopes of starting a new chapter in his life and has a thing for the cute redheaded waitress who serves up homemade pie at the diner down the street. Maisie is attracted to Ryan, but she doesn’t know if she can open herself to love again. Ryan also harbors a secret from his past that may jeopardize the relationship with Maisie before it even has a chance to get off the ground. Verdict Newton shows promise as a storyteller as demonstrated by her knack for developing a strong hero and heroine whose love story, with its mild romantic scenes, quickly immerses the reader. The ending seems a bit far-fetched, but that is a small blemish on what otherwise is a sweetly charming read.—Kara Kohn, Plainfield P.L., IL
