Charming, small-town Golden, Georgia, has everything Briana Connelly needs—her four-year-old daughter, her family, and her job as a police officer. When her former best friend, Jackson Walker, returns suddenly and is made her partner at work, she’s forced to face the events that drove them apart. With a mysterious theft to investigate, spending time with Jax is unavoidable…and easier than she’d like. Especially when his effortless warmth wins over her precious daughter. As a deeper connection grows between them, he starts to feel like a part of Briana’s little family. But if overcoming the past means admitting their true feelings—that might be the biggest risk of all.

USA TODAY BESTSELLING AUTHOR

From Harlequin Heartwarming: Wholesome stories of love, compassion and belonging.

Harlequin Heartwarming books are a wonderful series of books. The Hometown Cop's Forever Family by Tara Randel is Book 3 in the A Golden, Georgia Romance series. I have been enjoying this series from the beginning and have been looking forward to this release.

I can honestly say this book was very intriguing from the first chapter. The main characters in this book are Briana Connelly and Jackson Walker. Bri is raising her 4 year old daughter in her childhood hometown of Golden, Georgia, She loves her jobs as a Police Officer in her small town. Life is great for Bri and then Jackson Walker returns to town. Jackson and Bri were longtime friends, until they drew apart. Jackson is also a Police officer and Bri is taken aback when they are assigned to be Partners. I really LOVE how Bri and Jackson begin to spend time together investigating a theft, they also begin to realize fences can be mended. Bri notices how her daughter and Jackson interact so well and it just melts her heart. Bri and Jackson really work at letting go of the past and moving forward. The book is one of Second Chances, Family, Faith and forgiveness. I HIGHLY recommend this book to anyone who enjoys Wholesome Romance books. FANTASTIC BOOK!
