Home to Walnut Hills is a short lovely romance. I picked up the novella for free and I am SOOO glad I did.Tracy and Noah's story is sweet, chaste, and entertaining. It is rare to find an author who can write characters with depth of emotion without being sappy. Who are physically attracted to each other without out the slightest bit of sexual tension, but just enough angst to make you sigh, and a story that's meaty enough to engage with the world the characters live in. Ms. Moody has done it in this quick, well written novella.5 solid stars!I'll be picking up the rest of the series for sure! Age Appropriate For: 15 and up for mild romance and some situationsBest for Ages: 15 and upI have to admit that this was my least favorite of my of the Teacup books so far. I enjoyed it, but it wasn’t my favorite. Let me start with what kept me from loving the book before I go on to what I liked.I have to admit one of my pet peeves is when people call things their babies or children or talk about inanimate objects like they are people. In this book Alex calls her projects her children and names them. And many most of the motor cycles have names and personalities to their owners. I know it is silly that it bothered me but it did.The romance wasn’t as good in my mind. Not as much based on character as much as the last two stories. However, I did love how both of them help each other with their problems in the end. Tracy helps Noah with his past, and Noah helps Tracy with a persistent and unwanted suitor.I loved the historical mystery aspect of this story. The story of the teacup in this novella was by far my favorite. Maybe because I am a history buff. I can’t say anything more without giving too much away.If you need a quick light read, the teacup books are for you.
