Right
from the start this book grabbed me and I have never been so happy to be held
hostage. This book was wonderful and it
made me feel so alive. This is the
feeling that I get when I read a good book and I just want to lay here and bask
in its glory. The romance, the drama,
the rawness, and the superb writing hit every mark for me. I have read one other book by this author and
it was titled A Kiss of Spring and that
was a 5 star read for me as well. The
writing flowed like water within a river bank and the characters were so
charming and likeable. I just finished
reading this like 1 hour ago and I had to get my thoughts on paper ASAP. I got that warm gooey feeling and that is
sure sign that I am in love with this book.
Enough of my praising and blushing, now let me tell you about this
story.
If
you are like me and started in the middle of the Eternity Springs Series, you
have found a safe place because even though I did not read but one installment
in this series, I still had a good time.
Eternity Springs is a small town in Colorado and it evolved around the
Callaghan's, but now the series ventured into the other side of the family in
Texas, the McBrides. Let me just say
that I love the three stooges or better known as Jackson, Tucker, and Boone.
The family dynamic is wonderful between these three and I could feel the love
that they had for each other. This book
is about Jackson, a songwriter who has lost his inspiration for music and
recently divorced. Jackson has a great
story arc involving his daughter and I admired him for the love for his
daughter. Receiving a phone call from
his cousin Boone, Jackson leaves his former life behind and heads back to great
state of Texas. On the other hand, we have a recently widowed Caroline who is
looking to start the "next chapter" in her life. Both Jackson and Caroline are not looking for
love, but we all know loves come unexpectantly.
Will love prevail even when both of them has suffered a great loss?
I
think this is the sweetest couple that I have ever read. I mean, the chemistry is awe inspiring and
the compatibility between these two are true relationship goals. I will have to
admit that I fell in love with Jackson and the huge heart that he has. Caroline was a pleasure as well and she was
so strong and transparent. Their
relationship had that slow simmer and it started off as true friendship. The slow simmer allowed me to see their
relationship blossom and it made the bump in their relationship so intense and
I did not know what to expect next. The
book starts off telling their stories individually and gradually it intertwines
their stories and it was fantastic. I
usually do not like the absence of time in a story, meaning there is no
specific range of time passing, but it was done very well in this story. She does tell you how much time passes, but
it is not a big element in the story. At
some points in the book, it was like reading a montage in an 80s movie and that
is a positive.
I
only have one negative thing to say about this book and it's minor. There were some key moments that the author
glossed over and did not allow me to see the scene unfold. For example, when Jackson sees his daughter
after going almost a year without seeing her.
That scene would have been so powerful and effective, but the author
just sort of told me what happened and I really wanted to feel the emotions in
the scene.
The
author did such good job building this small town and the writing was very
descriptive without being too wordy with insignificant details. This story was a delight and most
importantly, it gave me the warm gooey feeling. I give this book a….drum roll
please…🥁🥁🥁🥁🥁…………5 beautiful stars. Go pick this up because this story was wonderful
and this is the reason that I love the romance genre. Don’t forget your tea and
your blanket. Go pick it up.!
Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Nice.! Will pick up
