Although this was the first book by Tess Thompson that I have read, and some of the characters were unfamiliar to me, it didn't spoil my enjoyment of the story. Grant and Liz are college sweethearts, who went their separate ways after one of them makes a mistake. After going through a divorce, Grant wants to find the love he lost ten years previously. Now they are working on a big case together and realize that there is still a spark there. Grant wants to find the I loved this book and will definitely be visiting River Valley again.

There's nothing like a second chance with the one person you've always loved. Liz and Grant had that once in a life love 10 years ago. Then Grant's world got turned upside down and he made a choice that he has regretted this whole time. Now is his chance to get Liz back for good and he's not going to let anything get in his way. This was a lovely book to read. There was a little mystery and a little suspense. The love wasn't over dramatized so if you enjoy a heartfelt love without all the erotic this is the perfect story for you. The secondary characters were great and the author left us with enough to hope there is another book in this series to come.

This is Book #5 in the River Valley series. I have not read the other books in this series, but I want to. This was about second chances. If you were hurt by an ex, who did something awful, would you forgive him and give him a second chance? I am not sure if I could, but there were some personal events that led to that awful thing.
Both Grant and Liz are dealing with their lives being overwhelmed so they go away, but not together. They end up in the same town and both are dealing with family secrets. Is it fate that they are both in the same town?
I loved this book. I hope their is a book about Liz's sister, Peggy. I also want to go read the other books in this series.

This was a good story about 2nd chances and past mysteries.
It was interesting hearing from Grant and learning why he cheated on Liz in the past. Yet after his father dies and he finds the pictures everything begins to make sense. He loved Liz but truly felt like he was no good for her after growing up believing that he wasn't any good. He had a lot to do to make everything up to Liz for past mistakes but he was willing to do whatever it took.
Liz's story was very interesting as she was very close to her sister, Peggy, and her niece Beth but not as close with either of her parents but they were still involved in her life. She still loved Grant but was very hurt by what he had done but agrees to give him a second chance.
I loved the mystery with Liz's grandma and the relationship that developed between Liz and Lola. I was surprised with what was revealed when Liz met with Rosemary Bingham and then what Liz and her mom learned when they visited her grandpa.
I also really did enjoy what Grant learned about his own past and that the future looked really good for him in River Valley!
Great story!

This is the fourth book in Ms Thompson's River Valley Series and it is also set in the town of River Valley.
We met Gennie and Stefan Spencer during the third book of the series and this book deals with their story.
The River Valley series deals with "broken" people finding a love that heals them in the magical little town of River Valley. Riversnow doesn't steer away from this thread, but the "hurts" in both Gennie & Stefan's pasts (rape; blackmail; threats; abuse; murder) are very dark and somewhat uncomfortable to process.
Ms Thompson handles the delicate subject matter very carefully and sensitively.
Riversnow was a lovely read that didn't drag. It was also lovely meeting up with folk from the first three books and hearing what they were up to and how they were growing.
I suppose you could read Riversnow as a stand alone book, but a lot of the background characters would be lost on you and would make a lot more sense if you read books 1 - 3 first.
Holding thumbs for a number 5

I've enjoyed this series. This last book I thought was especially good. I love a series set in small towns with characters that you can follow. And so many of the characters in River Valley came to feel like friends to me. The strength of women like Gennie, and Lee and Annie was inspiring and a special mention has to go to Alder. He was just hilarious. 5 stars for this one.

In this 4th installment of the River Valley Series we are once again transported back to this wonderful small town in Oregon. With each book we continue to see the same characters, yet each time we are introduced to newcomers that become the main focus of the story. This time we are introduced to actress Genevieve Banks aka Gennie and her co-star Stefan Spencer who are to begin shooting a filming a movie right in River Valley. Gennie is one of Bella’s, Drake’s sister, best friend and the reason they are doing the film in River Valley. Little does anyone know the secret Gennie has been carrying with her since she was 15 years old, but will soon come to light when someone goes public saying some terrible things about this beloved actress. Once again the River Valley clan comes together to stand by someone that becomes one of their own.
This book is definitely one of the best in the series. The story takes you through heartbreak and love, loss and hope, and twists and turns that keep you turning the pages.
Tess Thompson is a masterful storyteller that keeps you involved with the characters and the story. Beautifully written, this story pulls at your heartstrings and keeps you riveted throughout. I can not recommend more highly that everyone should take timeout to read Tess Thompson’s Series’.
Bravo Tess, you have definitely become one of my absolute favorite authors of all time!
