Sure to Be a New Favorite, Tagg's Latest Checks All the Right
Boxes for Romance Fans
Maple Valley became Amelia Bentley's haven after her heart and her
dreams of a family were shattered, but her new life as a newspaper
editor is shaken when the paper is bought out by a chain that plans
to incorporate it into a regional paper.
After his biggest campaign success yet, speechwriter Logan Walker
is approached to work on a presidential campaign. But he already
lost his wife three years ago, and saying yes to the job means
he'll see his young daughter even less. When Logan hears of a
special election campaign in his hometown, helping out sounds like
the perfect way to occupy himself while deciding what to do.
When Amelia hears Logan is back in town, she begs him to lend his
previous experience in the newspaper world to help turn her paper's
numbers around in time. They may butt heads more than they
expected, but a lead on a story that could help save the paper is
just the start of the sparks that fly in the office and in their
hearts.

Maple Valley became Amelia Bentley's haven after her
heart and her dreams of a family were shattered. But when the
newspaper she runs is in danger of closing, she pins all her hopes
on a story that just might convince the new owner to keep the paper
running.
After his biggest campaign success yet, widowed speechwriter Logan
Walker has the chance of a lifetime: a spot on a presidential
campaign. But first he has to return to his hometown to sell the
newspaper he's suddenly inherited.
But instead of a quick sale, Logan finds himself helping Amelia
chase her story. She's scrappy, but wounded. He's dependable, but
lost. And working together to break the story on Maple Valley's
unsolved mystery is just the start of the sparks that fly in the
office and in their hearts.
"Tagg fashions another endearing, pithy story of finding love at
the perfect time."--Publishers Weekly
"The instant chemistry between the main characters makes
this a delightful favorite, and their easy banter shines with
Tagg's smart, witty voice. While Amelia Bentley is indeed perfectly
likeable, Logan Walker embodies everything that fans of
contemporary romance find so attractive in a male lead...Written in
Tagg's engaging style, this latest offering has plenty of dimension
and heart."--RT Book Reviews
"Tagg captures the familiar cadence of life in a rural
Midwest community while bringing gentle compassion to such
sensitive topics as grief over the death of a spouse. A thread of
historical drama adds an entertaining element of tension to the
book's quintessentially American plot, and its inspirational themes
are prominent yet seamlessly woven into the dialogue and
relationships. An engaging sequel and satisfying read, especially
for fans of small-town romances."--Booklist
"Like Never Before, second in Tagg's Walker Family
series, follows a close-knit, loving family as they struggle with
life's uncertainties and losses. Endearing characters, deft
writing, and an interesting historical mystery will intrigue
readers, but the real gem is Tagg's well-handled theme of the need
to trust in a loving, sovereign God."--CBA Retailers
