HIS SMALL-TOWN GIRL (SUTTER'S HOLLOW #1)

She's sweet and wholesome. And hiding something.
He's back home, resurrecting old ghosts.
One of them is going to get hurt.


Molly arrives in Sutter's Hollow out of gas and out of options. The rundown ranch seems like a perfect place to hide. Except the man who owns it seems just as dangerous as what’s chasing her.

Cord's mantra growing up? Get out of Sutter’s Hollow. Now he’s back in town, but only long enough to get rid of his grandma's ball and chain—the ranch. He doesn't need a complication like Molly, who reminds him of an injured baby bird. He's no protector. So why can’t he tell her to get lost?

Liza's Review:

His Small-Town Girl is the first book I've read by Lacy Williams and the first book in her new Sutter's Hollow series. Both Molly and Cord have something from their pasts they are running from, and are reluctantly thrown together when Molly's truck breaks down on Cord's ranch. Cord is back in Sutter's Hollow to make the repairs needed to sell his grandmother's ranch and head back to Houston and his life.

I enjoyed His Small-Town Girl. It is a sweet contemporary romance. I liked both Molly and Cord, but did wish they each had been a bit more forthcoming with issues from their pasts. Cord was almost unlikeable when he first appeared on the page he was so gruff, and I was so glad to see he had way more heart as the story progressed. Molly seemed really timid at first, but I enjoyed watching her come out of her shell and I felt like she really came into her own by the end of the book. I did feel like the story moved really slowly at times, and wished Cord especially had shared his past sooner. He had lots of thoughts about his past, yet it was a bit vague and made the story slow down as I was trying to figure out why he acted the way he did through much of the story. I did end up liking Cord and Molly as a couple, and their story overall. 

His Small-Town Girl was a good start to a new series. It introduced many characters I believe will appear in other books in the series. Fans who love sweet contemporary romances should totally give this book and author a try.
