Since others have given the general storyline, I'll give my over all impression:
Don't worry if you haven't read the others before this. While this book takes place in Primrose Creek, it does not rely on prior knowledge to make this story complete.
The previous ones are of the women of Primrose Creek: Bridget, Christy, Skye, Megan.
Linda Lael Miller's books are well written, I don't feel the need to scan some sections to hurry back to the real plot. Any intimate scenes aren't so involved it makes the reader uncomfortable (or daydream!).
This book will resonate with any woman that has had to strike out on her own, knowing she'd need to grow stronger within in order to not only survive, but thrive in life. - If that's you, you will need a tissue or two.

After her stepfather is found murdered, a divorced mom with twins runs away from her old life and ex-husband and winds up at the Last Chance Cafe. There she learns about small town rural life, takes a job as a waitress to support her kids and falls in love with a cowboy named "Chance." But, when the men who murdered her stepfather locate her, will Chance be able to hold them off? It was a good read and I really enjoyed the characters--especially Chance and her twin girls.

This is a good page turning book; Miller continues to keep you interested in her characters.

Linda Lael Miller is one of my favorite authors. She's an excellent story teller and her books are always a good read. If you enjoyed her Springwater/Primrose Creek series you'll probably like this story. It is a modern day story about one of the descendants from Primrose Creek--a Qualtrough.
very good

Hallie knows that her stepfather Lou was murdered, that his death wasn't the result of a surprised burglar. But, she has no proof, or any idea who may have done it. Until she is given the key and the code phrase by one of her stepfather's old friends. It leads her to the information Lou was gathering on a local drug ring, and the identities of those involved, including her ex-husband. Hallie grabs the evidence, her two daughters, and runs. I enjoyed this book very much.
Wonderful book, it continues on from the Women Of Primrose Creek. 5 stars

Hallie is distressed that her stepfather, savvy police officer Lou, has been murdered, and she doesn't believe it was a simple burglary gone wrong, as claimed by her ex-husband, Joel, the District Attorney. Hallie investigates and finds evidence of a massive drug operation involving high-ranking police officers and her ex-husband. Now in danger, she and her twin daughters leave Phoenix and her restaurant business, and head to parts unknown in Lou's ancient pickup truck. When it breaks down in Primrose Creek, Nevada, Hallie and the girls enter the Last Chance Cafe and find both refuge and Chance Qualtrough. Chance, a rancher who rescues horses, wants to help the family even though he senses that Hallie is running from something. Hallie wants to stay, but she knows that Lou's murderers want her dead. Miller dips her toe into the popular pool of romantic suspense, creating an entertaining story that will please new fans while paying homage to old ones by updating her popular historical Primrose Creek series.

ok read
I really enjoyed this one. Hallie was definitely smart and resourceful. Chance, was okay. He was a little too pouty but they worked well together.
My only complaint is that Miller does a poor job of writing when it comes to children. They are always too easy going or their reactions are somewhat not age appropriate. But that's such a minor thing in the story.
I also wanted more on Jase and Katie, but since this is the first book I have read of this series maybe there is their own book there.
Good read.

When a blinding Nevada snowstorm and a broken-down truck force Hallie O'Rourke and her two young daughters into the warmth of the Last Chance Café, Hallie could not know she would find a new beginning at the roadside diner. Or that the handsome stranger she meets there would change everything she believes about home and family. Chance Qualtrough is a rancher with deep roots in Primrose Creek, and he's never met a woman as alluring -- or downright stubborn -- as Hallie. An undeniable passion is pulling them together, but Hallie is fleeing a danger so threatening she dares not let Chance into her heart. Will all that Hallie fears come back with full force, destroying her last chance for the life she's always dreamed of?

Hallie was practically desperate when her truck broke down in a Nevada snowstorm, but she soon realizes that being stranded in Primrose Creek may be the first bit of good luck she's had in a while. Since she doesn't know anyone in town, a simple name change assures that the dangerous people she's left behind aren't likely to find her here. And some generous residents of this tiny little backwater (descendants of some of the oldest families in town) have offered her the chance to stay. By filling in as a waitress at the Last Chance Cafe and accepting the house-sitting job arranged by handsome rancher Chance Qualtrough, she can provide for her seven-year-old twins, Kiley and Kiera, while she figures out what to do about the problems she's running from -- and finds an unexpected opportunity to take a chance on love.
