The brightest light can be found at the end of the darkest tunnel.
It is often said that two wrongs don’t make a right, or do they? Bennet found himself dazed and confused, the memories of the last few days completely gone as his body fought to gain control after a night of drinking and drugs. The newspaper had detailed all of his wrong doings from the night before, and this country singing star finally had enough. His pathway to recovery would lead him home, and back to what got him started in the music business to begin with.
The other wrong in the story would be that of Edie Gibson, a young girl on the run from her abusive soon-to-be husband. Edie had finally decided to make a run for it, to save herself, and whatever life she might have left. But paranoia and lack of sleep led her to the hospital. But not before being rescued by a cowboy riding a horse. As Edie makes a full recovery, she learns more about her John Wayne rescuer. Though Bennet rescued Edie from her totaled car, Edie in turn would rescue Bennet from his deepest fears and forever help him fight off his addictions.
Sally Britton's "Branches of Love" series has sweet, clean stories that I recommend. The first is a prequel Martha's Patience which is not the best one of the series, although still good, and it introduces some important characters.
I read Courting Miss Lancaster by Sarah M. Eden. (I borrowed it from the library; the kindle price is expensive.) It was a lighthearted, clean HR with a sweet H and h. I can't say there was anything really unique about it as the plot has been done before, but it was a quick, easy read and enjoyable. I wouldn't recommend paying the $10.49 kindle price, but it's worth a look if you can borrow it or catch it on sale.
I enjoyed Carrying the Single Dad's Baby by Kate Hardy. This is a quick read from the Harlequin Medical line. Even though it is short, it never felt like chunks of the story were missing, and it was well developed. The H and h are both doctors, and the H is divorced with custody of his 4-year-old son. The bedroom scenes were fade to black, with some kissing and talk of the chemistry between them on page.
Just finished a delightful and very chaste holiday novella A holiday by Gaslight by Mimi Matthews, set in Victorian England with a nod to Elizabeth Gaskell's North and South (I'm linking to the BBC series because Richard Armitage is just too hot not to ).

I totally agree with you! Loved Matthews' book and North and South both. That BBC series was the first time I ever saw Richard Armitage. So cute. I checked out a CD my library has of Armitage narrating Georgette Heyer's Sylvester which was great, IMO.

Oohh - I love his voice! I'd probably spontaneously combust if I tried to listen to him read romance (but what a way to go!)
P.S. just bought The Matrimonial Advertisement after reading the sample at the end of A Holiday by Gaslight - it had so many of my favourite tropes (scarred and bitter hero, marriage of convenience, heroine who takes action). Hoping I'll be snowed in tomorrow so I can stay home and read

Oh, another book by Mimi Matthews I have read and liked a lot. I have a couple of other Matthews' books that are lendable if you haven't read them yet: The Viscount and the Vicar's Daughter and The Lost Letter. I liked them both, but "The Matrimonial Advertisement" is my favorite of hers so far.

Thank you bonnieg - if I like the Matrimonial Advertisement, I'll take you up on the offer for the other two I've been buying too many books these last weeks (and then not reading them because I'm in the mood for something else, sigh)
