Home in Paradise
Veterinarian Julia Baker left her troubled past in Michigan to start a new life in small-town Texas. The desire to break the cycle of family turmoil is evident in every choice she makes. Her love for animals keeps her occupied and out of the dating scene.
Startled by a knock on her door at 4:00 a.m., she is caught off guard by a handsome stranger who needs her help. She immediately shifts into doctor mode to save a Great Pyrenees; the emergency at hand is the only reason she can concentrate.
Butcher Brad Daniels is known for his award-winning deli and meat market. Now that he has made a name for himself in Paradise, Texas, he would like to find that adventurous someone who shares his love of the outdoors.
The tense initial meeting leaves both Julia and Brad stunned; while Julia denies the attraction, Brad embraces the unintentional draw. After their second chance meeting, at the wedding of Max and Laney Walker, Brad finds any excuse to be near Julia.
Even though Julia does everything she can to suppress the attraction and her growing feelings for Brad, she continues to fall. Her friends attempt to convince her that real love does exist. If she can’t let go of her past, she could miss out on her own happily ever after.
Failed relationships left Brad questioning exactly what he wants in a partner. He is determined to win Julia's heart and convince her that love will carry them through any situation. After all, she checks every box on his list of perfection. He has finally found the woman of his dreams and refuses to let her go.

“Home in Paradise” by Kristi Copeland is sassy and so fantastic. I adore the relationship between Julia and Brad. The give and take between them was perfect. I laughed out loud at parts and I got weepy in other parts. The balance in emotions couldn’t have been any better. “The Texas Summer Nights” series perfectly connects and I couldn’t ask for a better Book 2. I highly recommend it. It’s Paradise.

February 2, 2023On the surface, Julia and Brad couldn't be any different. When the meet for the first time, Brad needs her professional help - Julia's a Vet. They didn't hit it off, in fact, she kind of hated him for dumping a dog on her proverbial doorstep at 4am.
Read this small-town opposites-attract romance novella to find out why first impressions don't always tell the true story.

The book takes place in a small town, where two people meet that appear to be very different! The small town vibe makes this book easy to fall into and literally feel like you are right in the middle. After a few bumps in the road, it is determined that what appeared to be differences really aren’t. Julia and Brad make this story a sweet romance, working thru misunderstandings to find the bigger love!

I won’t tank an indie author’s ratings with low stars but this just doesn’t seem to be the book or series for me. The writing is not in any way bad and I can see people really enjoying it. However it is very fast paced, instant love barely time for the characters to be enemies before they are lovers. Their problems all stem from moving too quickly and not communicating.

Absolutely loved this cute romance. Loved being able to see glimpses of Max and Lanie and see the friend group interact. For such a short book this has an impressive amount of character depth
