A Spot of Grace
Sometimes all love needs is a spot of grace to begin again…
Single dad Miles Coleman had zero interest in romance. Not since losing his wife years ago. So, when his hopeless romantic of a daughter posted dating ads for him, he quickly reminded her that he had no intention of ever remarrying. Until his lovely new neighbor showed up and flipped his entire world on its axis.
Being a divorced, single mom had never been on Annie Thompson’s bingo card. But here she was, starting fresh on San Juan Island with twin toddlers and an elderly mom to care for. Romance? It wasn’t even a blip on her radar. Until she met the handsome fireman down the street and started rethinking everything.
When mysterious threats against the fire department shake their small town, Miles and Annie are drawn together in an unexpected way. But if protecting the ones they love means risking it all, can they trust in second chances—and each other—when it matters most?
A Spot of Grace, a sweet, contemporary romantic women’s fiction novel, is the sixth and final book in the Spotted Cottage series. Grab your copy today and come home to San Juan Island one last time—where love, family, and a spot of grace are always waiting.

A Spot of Grace is a stunning conclusion to Ms. Addler's Spotted Cottage series. I love Miles and Annie, two single parents attracted to each other who are settling for friendship. Miles' daughter has his picture on a billboard advertising for a wife. Annie is dividing her time between being at home and in the field - never having enough time for either one. Why is someone threatening the fire department. I love catching up with some characters from previous books, but this works well as a stand alone book if you want it to. The characters, the town and the story have all Ms. Addler's expected warmth, humor, family and love!

Annie Thompson is starting over! Newly divorced, twin toddlers and living with her mom was not in her life plan. She is trying to make the best of it, but she is struggling. She would love to have a partner, but she has barely enough time to eat much less date.
Miles Coleman is a fire fighter and a single dad. His life is about to be turned upside down when he hears about a billboard is advertising, he is looking for love. That is the last thing on his mind.
When Annie needs help, Miles is up for the task. What they don’t count on is that maybe they are just what each other has been looking for.
This is just the sweetest novel written by Amelia Addler. The characters are written so well, I got drawn into the story from the very beginning. There are some twists and turns, a little mystery and a second chance at love. All the makings of a fabulous ending to the Spotted Cottage series. My thanks to Amelia Addler for my advanced copy which I read and reviewed voluntarily. A perfect spring read friends.

Review of advance copy received from Author
Miles’ wife died in childbirth, and he has been raising his daughter ever since. He has no interest in romance, but his daughter wants a step-mom and posts his firefighter picture in an ad. Annie has divorced her husband and is raising her twin toddlers and caring for her mother. Neither wants a romance, but they keep getting thrown together by their family and friends. I understand this is the last in the Spotted Cottage series.

This is my voluntary review of a copy I was given.
I loved this sweet romance story. Both single parents are attracted to the other, but each thinks they are not enough. They settle for friendship until a near tragedy opens their eyes. I loved the slow buildup of their romance.
I also loved seeing old friends from the previous books in the series.
