Atticus Arnott's Great Adventure by Caroline James

 

I am so glad I received an advance copy of this novel. It is truly a delightful read and more than enjoyable. The characters are fun and quirky. The story is filled with the tale of Atticus Arnott’s trip to Spain, to the dismay of his son and delight of his daughter. Adventure springs forth at the all inclusive camp site-meeting people and a lovely lady. At home, his daughter’s marriage is troublesome. His son is filled with outrage that his 70 year old father has embarked on a trip alone in his old Westphalia camper.  A terrific book.

Second chance romances are the best and this one is great. A protective cowboy and a feisty cowgirl have a second chance at the romance and love they once had but lost. Very engaging and enjoyable.

The Future Saints by Ashley Winstead

 

A tremendously powerful look at the ravages of grief when left unchecked. It is not a maudlin story but one filled with emotion, dysfunctional reactions, and grief. The psychological impact on a grieving, addicted sister is incredibly written with emotional truth and painful deepness.
