A hometown series full of sexy romance, humor, and heart...
Single mother, and work-at-home hair stylist, Lauren Frazier can barely keep the roof over her head from falling down around her. When handyman Caleb Hunter shows up at her door for a haircut, the military veteran is the answer to her prayers—and the attraction is instantaneous. Too bad her troubled ten-year-old son isn't quite as thrilled to have Caleb hanging around.
Old wounds have kept Caleb from returning to Redemption permanently. When he receives word of his mother's unexpected death, guilt and regret bring him home again, but will the love of a good woman keep him there? Beautiful, witty, and strong, Lauren excites him like no woman ever has, but she's a package deal, and he's not sure he's prepared to take on a ready-made family.
Excerpt First Kiss...
Lauren moaned, leaning into him, dissolving into his heat, pulse roaring in her ears. She turned in his arms, bringing her leg around so she could straddle his lap and snuggle even closer, plastering herself against his broad, hard chest. Caleb answered her silent plea with a growl of his own, crushing her in his arms, his hands caressing a fiery trail down her back, cupping her butt in his big hands. Their mouths meshed with escalating hunger, their tongues moving in a dance as old as time, both giving as much as they took. Lauren felt sure she would drown in the heady sensations coursing through her.
The proof of his desire was nestled between them, and it took all her self-control not to move against him. It had been so long since—
Caleb tore his lips free and rested his forehead against hers, his breath coming out in ragged pants.
"Wha—?" Lauren could barely draw air into her lungs to speak. "Is something wrong?" she finally managed to whisper.
"I think Emma woke up," he whispered right back.
She sat back in alarm and shot a look toward the stairs. How could she have not heard her? "I'll be right back," she murmured, unable to meet his gaze. She climbed off his lap with as much dignity as possible and raced up the stairs.
Emma had indeed woken up, but Lauren rubbed her back for a few minutes, and she fell right back to sleep. She stuck her head in the bathroom on her way back to check her face in the mirror, make sure the words "bad mother" weren't etched into her forehead.
Caleb stood as soon as she entered the kitchen. "Is she all right? It wasn't her hand, was it?"
"No, just fussing. She fell right back to sleep." She wrapped her arms around herself and walked past him to the sink for a glass of water.
Caleb came up behind her, but didn't touch her. "Is something wrong?"
She took a sip, then another, too embarrassed to turn around and face him. "I didn't even hear her. What does that say about my maternal instinct?"
He took her in his arms. "You're a wonderful mother, Lauren. You got wrapped up in the moment, which, to be honest, is a pretty big compliment."
She gazed up at him, hoping her heart wasn't in her eyes. "But you heard her. Does that mean you weren't as...that it didn't affect you the same way...?"
He silenced her with a quick kiss. "Shh. All it means is I'm a military man who's attuned to the sounds around him. The kiss knocked my socks off, lady."

A Fair of the Heart Welcome To Redemption Book 1 edition by Donna Marie Rogers Literature Fiction eBooks
It's a good thing this is a pretty short read, because once I started it, I couldn't put it down! I read the first two books out of order, and after falling in love with the second book (A Fair to Remember), I was sure I'd be disappointed. Instead, I found a completely different love story set in the same lovable town with a couple of the same characters.The chemistry between Caleb and Lauren is instantaneous. Watching him handle Max, her rebellious son, and coddle Emma, her adorable toddler, you'll probably fall in love with Caleb a little, too! I will warn you that it isn't a realistic romance at all. They meet, fall in love, and decide they want to spend the rest of their lives together in a week's time. However, the intensity of their romance does make for a good, interesting read, and there are other aspects to their relationships that are enjoyable. Caleb reconciles with a man who was like a father to him, and he's able to earn Lauren's trust, even though her last relationship was abusive and lacking trust. You'll likely enjoy this story if you decide to take a break from reality and dive in!

A Fair of the Heart Welcome To Redemption Book 1 edition by Donna Marie Rogers Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Caleb is back in Redemption after the death of his mother, ex serviceman, never married, needs a haircut, meets Lauren.
Lauren, single mother of 10 yr old Max & 3yr old Emma, hair- dresser in her home. Like many single moms of kids, the ex left for greener pastures.
Although the story gets intense in just a matter of a week, you could easily see it being longer, with how quickly Caleb cares for Max who's definitely in need of a male figure in his life.
Again, all takes place in a week plus, but a good storyline & good content. Enjoy
If you follow my blog or my activity on Goodreads, you may have noticed I reviewed book two of the Welcome to Redemption series before reviewing book one. Somehow I managed to read the books in reverse. Normally the review order wouldn't concern me but this case is an exception. You see, book two reveals the climactic scenes in A Fair of the Heart. Having read the books in reverse, I am left questioning how much of my enjoyment was curtailed by this disclosure.
To Rogers' credit, I really like the premise here. I married a man with a child and while I don't necessarily seek out these books, I enjoy and appreciate writers who tackle the challenges of relationships where children of previous relationships are present. A lot of people can relate to Caleb and Lauren's situation which lends not only a realistic quality to the story but a human one as well.
On the other hand, the timeline didn't make a lot of sense. Running into a relationship is one thing; running in with kids is another matter entirely. A Fair of the Heart takes place over a period of days. To my mind this is far too short a time to commit to such a complicated relationship. I have similar trouble buying into Max's transformation from ten year old delinquent to model child over the same period. Here again, the amount of time didn't seem appropriate for the course of events.
One final note before I wrap up. It takes a certain level of skill to depict intimacy on paper. Some authors hint at it but ultimately imply more than they depict. Some opt for more detailed descriptions and venture into the realm of erotic lit. Some even go all out, issuing forth what can only be described as pornography. Rogers doesn't belong to any of these groups. Her scenes are carefully crafted, well-illustrated and tasteful. Well played madam, well played.
Sweet story with a few issues but not too bad. Language left something to be desired but I'm willing to overlook that. Seriously considered abandoning the series after reading book two but am on the fence after reading A Fair of the Heart.
A Fair of the Heart (Welcome to Redemption - Book One)
Haircuts and A Handy Man!
Who would have thought that a hair cut could lead to happily ever after?
Well at least puts them on the path.
Welcome to Redemption focuses on a small Wisconsin town and its citizens. While each story can stand alone, it is fun to get to know the people, and expand on your friendships. See if you can find the character that appears in every book of the Welcome to Redemption series. I'm not telling. Get to reading!
I am ready to contact Tara and start looking for a home in Redemption!
These authors write with the same voice. You forget that there are two authors, the story line is seamless.
Stacey and Donna paint such a picture with their words!
I see the the town of redemption so clearly.
I want to stop in at "Coffee to Chai For" order a cup of tea and tasty treat walk across the street to check out a book from the library.
I continue down the street waving to friends and neighbors.
I stop in the park to watch the dogs and owners play and enjoy the day.
I want more! The characters have come to life. I feel as though I have expanded my family. I have so many new friends!
