    5.0 out of 5 stars Loved the underlining history in Tara's life.

    Hometown Girl at Heart by Kirsten Fullmer is an excellent start to her Hometown Series. Tara is a young woman who loves her small town of Smithville and would do anything to preserve it. Her gift for refurbishing houses has given her a purpose in life and she allows her to repay the people in her town for the dark secret they cover-up for her. She anxiously awaits the beginning of her next project, a resort. Justin is a city boy who found his niche in building resorts for the rich in quiet and quaint towns. He moves to Smithville to begin his next job on a resort only to find he is strapped with a prickly partner, Tara. They definitely have a sizzling attraction to each other that could cause a dynamic relationship or blow-up their dreams.

    I found Kirsten Fullmer an intriguing author. Hometown Girl at Heart has the elements of a good romance; sparks between the characters, humor, and drama, but the author add a twist in Tara and Justin's background that adds depth to the plot. I love how the author touches on a subject many people are aware of but few woman rises above the stigma and self-acceptance of a horrific home life. I was glued to the story and I really loved the ending.

    I enjoyed this book so much! I liked the characters & how they all worked together to make a new conference/resort come to life. The 2 main characters often find themselves at odds with each other but they eventually learn to work with his modern ideas & her reused/renewed ideas. This is a good book for realizing that communication in any relationship is paramount. The ending was a total surprise!

    OMG - The H scrubs his head and rubs his face so much, I'm amazed he's not bald and covered with contact dermatitis!! The h has so much heaving and twisting and turning of her internal organs, she should be on life support!

    The writing is not terrible, and the grammar and word usage and spelling are okay. It's a good attempt, but the story really needs some help. There is just too much angst and drama that's unbelievable for the situations, and the interactions between the characters deteriorates faster-than-the-speed-of-light. This seems to be the author's first book, and she does appear rather young. Perhaps with maturity, she'll develop more realistic scenarios with her characters.

    This book is so fun. It makes you laugh and cry along with the characters. Tara and Justin are so fun - together and separate. Tara is a woman after my own heart. I would love to have the insight that she has for collecting and repurposing. I love how Justin is willing to research just to know her better or at least her thought processes. We all wish we had a WInnie in our life. I loved this story, I think I just might have to read it again.
