A Safe and Welcome Nest is worth crowing about...

What the crowing is all about... A Safe and Welcome Nest

"As always Judith B. Glad delights with a sexy and heartwarming tale. This is one for the grown-ups. The 40-something hero and heroine are both compelling and delightful people complete with flaws and three dimensional lives. "Delilah spends most of the days doing the right thing, but she has a couple of delicious secrets including a hobby that involves both motorcycles and black leather. Jake is a man trying to take advantage of a second chance to be a father to his son. He's caught in the trap that has mired more than one man--finding balance between career and family. They're attracted to each other, but as they quickly find out, a "mid-life" romance requires more than attraction to survive. "...a fabulous love story. Full of humor, charm and real life, it's one for the keeper shelf."
	Susan Mallery author of Silhouette Special Edition's Desert Rogues series.

"...a tale many women can relate to. It's all about what do you do when your children leave home and you have all this free time...a wonderful heroine who's strong and not afraid to take chances. Although some readers may find the hero acting like a jerk at times, Ms. Glad does a fine job of showing the reasons for his actions. The sexual tension is high making A SAFE AND WELCOME NEST a wonderfully passionate story with true-life characters."

"Burns, Oregon, isn't a big place, but it's too full of people for Jake Borglund. Jake's chosen profession as an ornithologist had led him to spend most of his adult life away from people and cities - in the Arctic, in Newfoundland, on the Texas Gulf Coast - wherever there were birds to be studied. Now in his late forties, Jake is about to give small-town living a try, in order to get custody of his nine-year-old son, Matthew. "Delilah Grey is a Burns native, a woman who's raised her two daughters alone and become a highly respected member of the community in the process. She's also a member of the Harney County Riders, a group of motorcycle enthusiasts. She and Jake are immediately attracted to each other when they meet at adjoining campsites in the rough but beautiful desert outside Burns. They've both been burned in love and life, so their progress toward friendship and love is slow, often stopping short and reversing briefly before inevitably moving forward. The reader shares each step of their journey with them, hoping for their success, but understanding the real difficulties keeping them apart. So often, books assume that love alone is enough to overcome any problem. Real life typically also demands insight and the willingness to change. Jake uses all of these in the struggle to become someone who can truly love others and let them into his life. ...a tender and moving story about mature adults learning from the past and discovering the full beauty of love. It's a keeper!"

"...develops into a tale of two adults with different personalities trying to seek a common ground. Delilah offered more than room and board for Jake and his son, but Jake’s wall might be more than she could endure."
