Review #15: Sierra's Homecoming by Linda Lael Miller

Synopsis (from amazon.com):
When she moved to her family's ancestral ranch, single mom Sierra McKettrick was disconcerted by the Triple M's handsome caretaker, Travis Reid. But when her son claimed to see a mysterious boy in the house, and an heirloom teapot started popping up in unexpected places, Sierra wondered if the attraction between herself and Travis might be the least of her worries.

In 1919, widowed Hannah McKettrick lived at the ranch with her son and her brother-in-law, Doss. Her confused feelings for Doss and her son's health problems occupied all her thoughts…until the family teapot started disappearing.


Could Sierra and her ancestor, Hannah, be living parallel lives?

Review:

This was a typical length romance novel, which translates to a very quick read. The difference between this book and typical romance novels however was it's inventiveness. The parallel stories of Sierra and Hannah were wonderfully woven together. Not only were the stories parallel, but Linda Lael Miller touched on a paranormal element of the two women being connected by a family album through which they were able to write notes back and forth, and a teapot. The teapot was a nice touch because one woman would move it and the other would find it in a strange place. It added to their connectedness.

The characters were likable. The story moved quickly, and provided another link in Miller's McKettrick storyline. Overall a very nice read.
