    From My Blog...Beautiful and heartwarming, Welcome to Harmony by Jodi Thomas is a definite feel good novel about finding roots and belonging. Reagan is 16 years old and looking for a place to call home. After cleaning Beverly Truman's nursing home room she has learned all about this woman's home in the small town of Harmony and without knowing why, feels as though she belongs there. When Beverly passes away Reagan finds her way to Harmony and becomes Reagan Truman. The only person certain she is not a Truman is the cantankerous brother of Beverly, who takes Reagan under his wing, much to the surprise of the town. Reagan is trying to keep it their secret yet Noah McAllen, the sheriff's younger brother, also known as "preacher" is quickly becoming her friend and Reagan, unaccustomed to kindness, friendships, and people caring for her, is uncertain how to proceed. Harmony, Texas is like no other town; it is equally divided into three sections belonging to the Trumans, the Mathesons, and the McAllens. Old family grudges are still alive and kicking in this old town as well as a fair share of secrets. Hank Matheson, rancher, head of the volunteer fire department and all around great guy promised his best friend, Warren McAllen, that he would take care of his sister, Alex McAllen. Alex McAllen, who took over becoming sheriff of Harmony when her brother Warren died, has other plans, which do not include Hank. Finally Tyler Wright, the only funeral director in the town and who has no idea how to talk to many people besides Hank and Saralynn, discovers an online relationship a woman named Kate. Is love in the air, will the old grudges be buried once and for all and will Harmony truly unite or will all be exposed when push comes to shove? Welcome to Harmony is a definite page-turner filled with an array of characters from gregarious to cantankerous and everything in between. The reader will have no trouble identifying with Thomas' characters. Thomas draws the reader into Harmony with her descriptive prose, witty and delightful narrative and a plot line that steps just outside what the reader may expect and takes the reader on a delightful journey into the lives of the inhabitants of Harmony. I found Welcome to Harmony to be an extremely delightful and enjoyable book to read. To my dismay the end came too soon and my only complaint is that I must wait until fall for the next in the Harmony trilogy, Somewhere Along the Way, to be released. I would not hesitate to recommend Welcome to Harmony to any reader.

    Welcome to Harmony is the first book in a new contemporary trilogy by Jodi Thomas. I wouldn't strictly classify it as a romance novel. Though there are several romance threads that flow through it, the book is more about the town of Harmony, Texas and its inhabitants.

    I adore Thomas' contemporary romances. Her strong characterizations and idyllic small towns draw the reader in and don't let go. While reading, I felt like I was there, in Harmony with Reagan and Noah, Hank and Alex and all the others. First I wanted to move to Twisted Creek, then to Bailey, now to Harmony. If Thomas keeps this up I'll be living in Texas before I know it.

    A light hearted fun series I just discovered and so happy there are 4 or 5 more to read! If you ever encountered The Virgin River series by Robin Carr, you will love these also!

She finds so much more, she finds a home with the lady's brother, who knows she is not his niece, cut accepts her anyway, plus friends and a family. The characters are delighful, witty, and strong with problems of their own. You have a sheriff who has a drinking problem, guilt, emotional tension between the sheriff and the fire chief.
