Sigh.!!!😄💨 Small town
romances are among my favorite romance genres and Sharon Sala knows how to
write said stories better than almost anyone else. This is book 6 in the
Blessings, Georgia series and I have read 4 of these books. This particular story revolves around Phoebe
and Aidan, high school sweethearts whose lives were drastically changed after a
fire. This fire caused the two families
to be at war with each other and caused the demise of Phoebe and Aidan's young
love. A death in the family brings Aidan
back home 20 years later and he is met with a life changing surprise, a
nineteen year old son. As you can
imagine, tensions run high when Aidan and Phoebe are faced with the mistakes of
the past, but can they overcome it and focus on the future?
The writing style of
this author is multiple point of views and it allows different characters to
contribute to the story. From Aidan to local town folks, the world told through
their eyes are riveting and forthcoming and it makes this story flow seamlessly. The chemistry between Aidan and Phoebe were
strong and electric and after 20 years apart, it was as if they were never
apart. I loved Aidan because he was
passionate, humble, and most importantly, he was very likable. The same cannot be said of Phoebe because she
started off bitter and selfish for the way that she hid their son from Aidan
for 19 years, which is a very long time.
After the way they broke up, I could understand the intense emotions
that Phoebe felt but she came off as very bitter. In contrast, the townsfolk were very
interesting and dramatic, which I loved.
One major mystery of this story was the culprit behind the fire and it
was thrilling as much as it was surprising.
You may be thinking,
"well what's with the 4 stars if you like it so much?", and to answer
that question, you would have to stick around. Numero uno, the amount of years
and age of the couple. Twenty years is
quite a long time to wait on someone and Phoebe and Aidan was 38 years
old. According to the story, Phoebe has
not been with any other man for the whole time and this is not believable.
Numero dos, Phoebe was, at times, annoying and her character had to grow on me
which wasted so much valuable time. There are no tres or any other numbers
because I loved this book. Happy Now?!!
Her stories are
magical, surreal and the world that she has created makes me yearn to pack up
my life and move to Blessings, Georgia.
I do not have the slightest idea of how she manages to create such an
extraordinary world and characters, but I do know one thing….It is under the
blanket with tea approved. If you are looking for a true romance story or maybe
you are just a romantic at heart, Go pick it up.!!!
