Thoughts of a Reader

This is the second book in the Sedgwick County Chronicles. It is a romantic split time novel. It was so well written that I found myself feeling all of the emotions that the characters were feeling. The grandmother in the story has Alzheimer’s disease and parts of the book are written where you can tell they are her thoughts. It is so sad but so accurately written I believe as to what a person with Alzheimer’s would sound like if you were inside their head. I can relate to this because I have known and been around people with this disease. I can also relate to Garrett’s philosophy on being early is the equivalent of being on time. All the characters in this book draw you into the story. This book is definitely on the top of my favorite books I have read list.

This is the third book in a series that needs to be read in order. There are several people in this book that could be viewed as adversaries to the main character, Claire Thompson. They bring intrigue to the plot. Another character that brings intrigue to the story but in the very best way is Claire’s granny. She is one of my favorite characters. She brings a whole lot of humor to the book and I love her personality. In this novel, Claire has so many mishaps that you really start feeling bad for her and wishing you could jump into book to help. I found this book was a fast read because it was so entertaining. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who likes contemporary romance.

The blurb on the back of the book is just the beginning of this really endearing story. This novel has all three kinds of characters you would expect in a love story. It has the damsel, the knight in shining armor, and the villainous suitor that really makes you hope he does not win the girl. I feel as though she goes through what I would say are much harder times than most damsels in distress. During the book, I find myself hoping and praying that Quincy, the knight in shining armor, is forgiven by Norah, the damsel, for what he has done. This book really drew me in and had me captivated until the very end. I highly recommend it to anyone who likes to read.

The novel starts out setting up the connection between the two main characters, Ranger Kingston and Noemi Sutton. Once the reader is told how the two met, a little bit of action unfolds. However, this book is definitely more romance and not as much suspenseful action which makes sense because it is in the contemporary romance category. Though I will say that the blurb on the back had me hoping for more scenes with intensity. You really have to pay attention when reading the book because right in the middle of some of the chapters it will go back and forth between current time and when the main characters met. There are some interesting surprises as well as a very unique marriage of convenience like situation. Also there is a secondary story that seemed somewhat out of place at first but then slowly made more sense. Overall, I really enjoyed this book though and would recommend it.

I was drawn to this book for two reasons besides the blurb on the back. One the cover is absolutely beautiful and the other reason is that it is set in North Carolina. Now even if those two things do not draw you in then just read the blurb on the back and it will definitely have you wanting to read this book. This novel has all the elements one would want in a second chance romance. It has two people who have been previously burned by love and think they are done with it. But maybe they are not as done as they think. This book also has a really good side story that falls perfectly in line with the main burned out on love plot. I had a hard time not sitting and reading this all at once. I definitely recommend it.
