    About this audiobook

    In Hope Springs, Texas, every first love deserves a second chance.

    Luna Meadows wove a successful career out of creating the sumptuous, richly hued scarves that adorn Hollywood’s elite. Now she wants to give back to her hometown of Hope Springs, Texas, by creating a community arts center on the property that once belonged to her best friend: a talented musician named Sierra who perished in a car crash at age eighteen. As Luna sorts through the personal belongings left in the Caffey family’s former home, she confronts her own guilt and memories. But when Angelo Caffey—Sierra’s brother and Luna’s first love—returns unexpectedly, Luna must also face the pain of their long-ago relationship.

    Headstrong, handsome Angelo walked away from Hope Springs—and Luna—eight years ago. But this time, he’s staying until he gets his answers. Still haunted by Sierra’s mysterious accident, he demands to know the secrets Luna has harbored all these years. But will revealing the truth leave Luna heartbroken? Or can she finally bury the past and help Angelo come home for good?

    Alison Kent was a born reader, but it wasn't until she reached 30 that she knew she wanted to be a writer when she grew up. Five years later, she made her first sale. Two years after that, she accepted an offer issued by the senior editor of Harlequin Temptation live on the 'Isn't It Romantic?' episode of CBS's 48 Hours. The resulting book, Call Me, was a Romantic Times finalist for Best First Series Book.

      A great read intriguing story. Really enjoyed this book thanks.
    • 4/5
      This story was a lush, lyrical read which helped blunt the very difficult things the main characters were going through. It is the tenth anniversary of the car accident that took the life of Luna's best friend Sierra and left Sierra's boyfriend in a permanent vegetative state. Luna has been grieving and holding tight to secrets that Sierra shared with her which have added guilt to her grief.Luna has become a successful fabric artist who scarves grace the necks of some of Hollywood's finest. But she has never left her family home in Hope Springs. But now changes are coming. Her mother is unexpectedly expecting a baby. Sierra's family home is being foreclosed on. And Sierra's older brother Angelo - the only man Luna has ever loved - is coming back to Hope Springs.Angelo has had to deal with his own grief and anger. He also had to deal with the fact that his parents seemed to blame him for Sierra's death and let their own lives fall apart. Eventually, when Angelo did what he thought best for the family, his parents disowned him. As secrets about the past are revealed, both Angelo and Luna have to deal with things they had buried and decide if they love they both hid could now be brought into the open and if now was finally the time for them to move on with their lives together. The was a touching romance that will long remain in my memory.
    • 2/5
      I was born and raised in Houston. Have family all over Austin so I love this series as it’s familar to me. Not sure if it was the content or narrator, but I feel asleep trying to finish it. The whole book was so negative until the very end. Usually the author has more drama in her story lines. My least favorite.
    • 5/5
      Beautifully told, and narrated emotional story. Cried buckets , very poignant.
    • 4/5
      Alison Kent's Beneath the Patchwork Moon is an emotional and poignant novel of new beginnings for both Luna Meadows and Angelo Caffey. Although she has a thriving business, Luna has not quite moved on from the accident that took the life of her close high school friend, Sierra Caffey. On the ten year anniversary of Sierra's death, Luna is finally making positive changes to her life, but with the return of her first love (and Sierra's brother) Angelo, will painful memories of their failed romance continue to keep her mired in the past?

      Luna's grief over Sierra's death is compounded by guilt and a long held secret that she has never revealed. Their close friendship is one of her most cherished memories and while Luna recovered physically from her own accident that day, she never quite recovered emotionally. But the ten year anniversary marks the beginning of many changes to Luna's life. She has purchased a loft and she is leaving the family home for the first time. A new baby is on the way and Luna is about to become a sister for the first time. Luna bought the old Caffey property when it went into foreclosure and she plans to build a community arts center in Sierra's memory. Just as she begins clearing out the Caffey family belongings, she is surprised by Angelo's return and she soon realizes that in order to heal, she will need to reveal her closely guarded secrets.

      Angelo is also deeply mourning his sister's death but his grief is also compounded by anger and guilt. He cannot let go his guilt for not helping Sierra more when she needed him but at the time, he had enough to deal with since the weight of taking care of his family fell on his young shoulders. After his family fell apart under the weight of their grief, they disowned Angelo after he finally took action to save them from complete ruin. That day also marked the end of his four year relationship with Luna when Angelo left Hope Springs for good.

      Beneath the Patchwork Moon is a leisurely paced romance with a great deal of introspection but the mystery of the day of the accident adds a bit of suspense and drama to the unfolding story. Learning the secrets of the past drives the first half of the novel, while dealing with the aftermath of these revelations drives the last half. Despite the sometimes melancholy memories, the novel remains upbeat and positive. The attraction between Luna and Angelo simmers under the surface of all of their interactions and their romance is interwoven with their efforts to make peace with the past. All of the various storylines are neatly but realistically wrapped up and the end of the novel adroitly sets up the next installment of Alison Kent's Hope Springs, TX series.
