The Kari AnnAlysis

Emma Benson has lived a hard life. Her brother died when she was young, her father couldn’t cope with his son’s death and left and the man she always thought she would marry, well he wasn’t on the same page. So now she’s living back at home on her mother’s farm, trying to keep the farm going and working at a book store, just to make ends meet.

When a tornado rips through their Wisconsin town, David shows up on Emma’s door step, like a knight in shining armor, although Emma is a little too stubborn to let him in. But the tornado is just the first thing to bring the two together. A criminal set his sights on Emma and David may be the only one to keep Emma safe and Emma may eventually quit fighting fate.

I have a really bad habit of 1. either not reading a description completely for a book or 2. not remembering what I read when I agreed to reading the book and then being surprised when I get around to it. Luckily in this book, it was a good surprise.

I somehow overlooked the criminal part of this book in the description, although it was right in front of my nose. So when it came up on me, I couldn’t quit reading. David is an awesome, chivalrous character who I immediately fell in love with. It didn’t hurt that he’s a best selling author. *Swoon*

Emma on the other hand….well she’s a love-hate character. You love her for her strength and independence. But, you just want to smack her when she is too hard-headed to just let David, the most wonderful man in the world (in a fictional sense), in her life. Yes, I know I haven’t walked in her shoes, or her cow poo covered boots, but c’mon, just be nice every once in a while.

This is a great love story, with a little crime and passion thrown in the mix to make a well-rounded novel. I give Called Home – Two Hearts Answer 5 bookmarks.
