It’s good to be back in Westen. This short holiday novella was packed full of surprises. What looks to be the time leading up to Gage and Bobby’s wedding actually turns out to be much more. Seems someone is out to sabotage the wedding. Added bonus was when Chloe comes to town for her sister wedding and catches the eye of Gage’s Deputy Sheriff Wes Strong for more reasons than one. He senses right away she is hiding something and a spillover from his spec ops days has him digging to find out what that is. Wes and Chloe defiantly have some hot chemistry going on but their story is unfinished at the end of this book. Hopefully it will be next in the series. ( )

Close to Home is the fourth book in the Westen Small Town Series. It is a wonderful example of romance, combined with a twist filled suspense story.
Characters that are a part of the series continue to grow and develop through this book. Picking up with Gage and Bobby, the town of Westen is preparing for their wedding. All of the characters from the series show up bringing their own special endearing qualities with them while the mystery grows.
Once again Gage's past is coming to haunt him, in the form of his psychopathic ex-wife. She's determined to ruin the wedding, punishing Bobby is a side benefit.
In this book we get to know Bobby's sisters a lot better. Chloe has her own problems and I have a feeling, she'll be back in Westen before too long. I think she and Wes have their own story to tell, and personally, I can't wait to read all about it. ( )
