Life is sometimes hard as a widowed, single mother with three young children, a business to run, bills to meet, and debts to pay. Despite it all, Rosalyn McCreary tries to count her blessings. She cherishes her shop, Second Hand Rose, her family and friends. A practical woman by necessity, she seldom indulges in impulse and fancy—except for that crazy spring day she danced with a total stranger she’d never met. Whatever was she thinking? And to learn later that her mystery stranger, Kendrick Lanier, planned to move to Wear’s Valley. Great. Just one more problem she doesn’t need. Kendrick soon pursues her, despite Rosalyn’s efforts to crowd him out, finding ways into her life, and into the lives of her children, and creating complications Rosalyn simply doesn’t want to deal with. Especially since the more she learns of the man’s life and secrets, the more she realizes how ill-suited they are. With Rosalyn and Kendrick’s troubled pasts, and Rosalyn’s temper, you’ll find it a toss-up to decide if these two stubborn, determined individuals should, or shouldn’t, ever get together.
Second Hand Rose A Smoky Mountain Novel Book 5 edition by Lin Stepp Contemporary Romance eBooks
From the first pages, we know who the lovers will be and how it will come out. Hey, it is a romance! But a good story is more complicated and more like life. Lin Stepp shows us how the fruits of the spirit work and also mirrors (to me) familiar expressions.Tough times -- loss of loved ones, financial straits, family disagreements are common threads readers can identify with. As things get tough, the tough get going to solve their problems and to survive. That struggle fosters independence in characters of Second Hand Rose. Independence of people and God.
The story follows Rosalyn working toward spiritual maturity to match the life maturity that early marriage and widowhood have brought in ways that give the reader pause for introspection while enjoying a well written story.
The characters are well drawn (almost all very attractive), the kids are articulate and honest -- almost painfully so. Family counts for a lot and some lead characters have to grow-up about tolerance, patience and forgiveness with family.
Woven within a tapestry of the scenic beauty of the Smoky Mountains and the tolerant, helpful culture of mountain folk that is not exceptional, but has it match in equal generosity from people who weren't raised in the mountains, Second Hand Rose reveals a few of my favorite expressions without beating the reader over the head or even acknowledging them. I found myself thinking "when you've seen one, you've seen them all" when various characters played out their parts.
Each reader comes to a point in the recounting of a story featuring the days of others when the reader can reflect and be inspired by a well-written story about the advantages of turning to the Wisdom or the Word and God and faith to culture the greatest of the fruits of the spirit.
I read this book on my Kindle Fire and highly recommend it to other readers. It gives you something to think about, shows you some beautiful country and entertains well. I will be reviewing the book at Ozarks Mystique and GoodReads. Now, I'm wishing for a Madame Hardy Rose.

Second Hand Rose A Smoky Mountain Novel Book 5 edition by Lin Stepp Contemporary Romance eBooks Reviews
I'm unfortunately reading this series out of order,but have found it really doesn't matter at all. Fun reading to wipe away an afternoon
This fifth book didn't disappoint in the least. I enjoyed it just as much as the other four and really look forward to the next one. Dr. Stepp can't write them fast enough for me!
I love this series. Lin Stepp never disappoints us. If you have ever visited our Great Smoky Mountains, you will remember so many of the places she mentions in her books. The characters always come alive and touch you in some way. I can't wait for her next book!
Second Hand Rose was wonderful. Thanks for the whole series. I learned so much about the place I go to every year for a wonderful break. The book was entertaining and well worth the read. I was so sad when I finished reading it. Please Ms. Stepp write more. Midge
As usual another great book set in the Smokey Mountains. I live in the foothills of the mountains and am familiar with the areas she writes about. My son lives in one of the areas and I grew up here. Love reading about the area.
I love all of Lin Stepps books. Can't put her books down.
Rosalyn McCreary is a wonderfully believable character, who will engage you as she moves through feelings she discovers in a new relationship. The novel has all of the ingredients for a good romance story! Another terrific read set among the culture and communities of the Smoky Mountains.
