Let's have some
"New Beginnings"

is set in Australia, in the wonderful State
Tasmania.
I hope you get hooked by this Snippet
Blurb:
Twenty-two-year-old Sophie Levesque has been guardian to eight-year-old
sister Mia since their mother's death a few years ago. Luck comes their
way when they inherit a small house in Hobart. Problem is though, they
don't know or have never heard of Clara Bellinger, the testator, and
Sophie is afraid it's all been a mistake.
As Mia settles well into her new school and life in general, Sophie is not only occupied by her search of what connected her to Clara, but also her new studies and the two men, who suddenly have become part of her daily life - Mark O'Connor, the lawyer representing Clara's estate, and Zach, the hunk from across the road.

Today's hook :-)
Sophie stared at the house. With tears stinging behind her eyelids, she slowly turned around and helped Mia out of the car. The little girl looked fragile in the unfamiliar environment, even though she wasn’t anywhere near fragile. Very clever for her age,
Mia had seen and gone through a lot, but handled most situations with trust and belief. Sophie wasn’t sure whether that was a good thing or not. Her younger sister undoubtedly had her mother’s looks, with the long, straight blond hair, her bright grey-green eyes, and pale skin. But deep down inside, there was a survivor instinct as well. Something, she wondered, her mother might have lacked.
“Is this our new home, Sophie?” her sister asked quietly.

4 Stars:
An interesting introduction to these two sisters. Their relationship is
gorgeous, and they care for each other fiercely. Set in Southern Tasmania,
what a wonderful place to start a whole new life and find out just how your
life got to be the way it was and begin to heal. I enjoyed the story and
the setting very much.
4 Stars:
This was a very enjoyable read and it left me wanting just a little bit
more. I highly recommend it.
4 Stars:
Sophie and Mark are an irresistible match from the beginning. While getting
closer and connected to them individually as the story progressed, I
couldn't help but want them to be together. This author has a way of
endearing her characters and it is easy to fall in love with them. An
intriguing story with emotion, love and hope. A very enjoyable read! I
received a copy in exchange for an honest review.
