HOUSE OF BELONGING
Award-winning author Andrea Thome chats with Big Blend Radio about her latest novel “House of Belonging” that whisks readers away to the Rocky Mountains for some steamy romance, drama and suspense! Featured music is “We Had to Meet” from the album “Nothing In Between” by Peggy James.
“House of Belonging” follows Laina Ming, a chef opening a new concept restaurant in Aspen, Colorado, as she unexpectedly and reluctantly falls for handsome local, Logan Matthews. Chemistry between them builds, despite Laina’s initial hesitation stemming from an upsetting breakup with her ex.
“I’ve enjoyed every moment I’ve spent with the characters in the Hesse Creek Series,” says Thome. “‘House of Belonging’ was the perfect vehicle to bring the stories of some old favorites full circle, while exploring new relationships at the same time. I hope readers will enjoy reading ‘House of Belonging’ as much as I loved creating it for them.”
“House of Belonging” is the final book in the Hesse Creek Series, and while each title in the series can be read independently, Thome’s dedicated fans will recognize some familiar characters who peppered the pages of her first novel, “Walland,” and her second book, “Seeds of Intention.” “Walland” won the National Indie Excellence Award in the romance category and bronze in the eLit Book Awards Popular Fiction. The book introduced readers to her sexy, witty style of storytelling and her ability to invoke a setting of tranquility. “Seeds of Intention” was recently named a finalist for the IBPA Benjamin Franklin Award.
