Coming Home to Starr's Fall by Kate Hewitt
Synopsis:
Welcome to the town of Starr’s Fall, where
Autumn can feel like it goes on forever, and two people have a chance to
fall in love… The leaves are falling, with a crispness to the air,
along with the scents of coffee and pumpkin spice, past a half-empty
street of shuttered storefronts and a bandstand that has seen better
days…
Just like the whole town of Starr’s Fall, thinks Laurie Ellis – as she and her beloved dog Max head to collect the store keys. Maybe she has seen better days, too, but she’s certainly ready for a new start—and to leave her past behind. Still Laurie wonders whether she made a terrible mistake in coming to lovable but shabby Starr’s Fall. Will she even find customers for her pet store and bakery, never mind a community to welcome and accept her?
Not according to Joshua Reilly, the handsome but grumpy manager of the bookstore across the road, who claims he’s never heard of anything so ridiculous as a bakery for dogs.
But Laurie remains stubbornly undeterred. She’s starting over, right here. Not least because she has another secret reason for being here… one she isn’t telling anybody, at least not yet, as it involves her own tragic past.
What she doesn’t yet know is that a clue to the mystery is hidden deep in Joshua’s bookstore. And he doesn’t yet realize that Laurie herself might be the key to mending his own battered heart… for Laurie and Joshua and the whole town, it’s going to be a fall to remember.

Coming Home To Starr's Fall was a very sweet and touching read.
Laurie Ellis decided to move to Connecticut to pursue her dream of opening a pet shop, and to find her family.
Laurie doesn't know her parents, she only has a small hint that brought her to Starr's Fall. She is a nice woman, with a positive attitude even if life hasn't been kind with her, who deserves to find her place in the World and to call it home.
I enjoyed to see Laurie easily integrate into the community, becoming friends with most of the towners. I followed with the most interest the developping relationship between Laurie and the grumpy bookseller Joshua, because there was a little spark from the start between them.
I've loved this world that Kate Hewitt created, the writing was good and evocative. I'm already looking forward to next story in the series.
I recommend to read this sweet novel that helped me to escape the heat of this Summer.
