Lone Star Book Blog Tour: Comfort Zone by Kimberly Fish (review and giveaway)

With Comfort Zone, the next installment in the Comfort Series, Kimberly Fish once again brings the small Texas town of Comfort into the spotlight, this time with a football flair and a persistent antagonist who will stop at nothing to get what he wants. While Comfort Zone can be read independently, characters often overlap across the series, so get in on all the Texas action and read them all.

Seven years ago, Anna Weber fled Florida after her husband’s death and eventually ended up in Comfort, Texas, seeking anonymity and a new start for herself and her twin infant daughters, Ariel and Adrian. Anna’s late husband, Louis, was an inventor, but after his death, his so-called friend, Harrison Greeley, harassed Anna for Louis’s final papers, forcing her to flee before he could get close enough to search her person and belongings for what he wanted. No way could he find her in the small, remote Texas Hill Country town of Comfort. For the past seven years, Anna has been building a safe space for her little family, hoping against hope that nothing and no one will shatter her new-found comfort zone.

Jack Moses, retired NFL quarterback, isn’t looking for romance, but he finds it all the same when he travels from his home in San Antonio, Texas, to Comfort and randomly meets Anna and her daughters in a quite unusual and humorous circumstance. The budding romance between these two is lighthearted and as sweet as molasses and just as slow. They both harbor significant secrets, so can Jack and Anna keep their new attraction for each other from cracking and crumbling when those secrets come crashing down around them, or is their romance doomed before it can take root?

While Comfort Zone is a delightful romance, it has more than enough mystery and danger to keep it from becoming too saccharine. In fact, Anna and Jack have plenty of reasons to keep each other at arm’s length, but, fortunately, Cupid has other ideas. In the Comfort series―and Comfort Zone is no exception―Kimberly Fish has developed several characters so well that you feel as if you have been friends with them for years. Comfort is a real Texas town just north of San Antonio, and the author captures that small-town vibe to perfection, complete with the standard mix of neighborliness and gossip. One thing you can always count on in such a close community like Comfort is that when the chips are down and secrets come tumbling out, Anna’s friends rise to the occasion and circle the wagons, providing Anna and her daughters with an abundance of comfort and protection.

The pacing of Comfort Zone is lightning quick, so be prepared to become immediately immersed in the world of Arena Football and retired NFL players, flirtations, authentic friendships, small-town hijinks, and dangerous intrigue that crosses state lines. For such a small Texas town, Comfort packs a huge punch.
