Mowers’ debut brims with vivid and broken characters who have had a rough go with life and with each other. Despite (or maybe because of) their brokenness William and Annie have deep capacity for love and for healing, though that’s not easily apparent at first glance. The author skillfully draws out their raw emotions even as Annie’s adorable children and William’s stubbornly determined mother add an even broader range of emotional layers. The antagonist is a bit over the top at times, and his comeuppance is somewhat anticlimactic, but overall this is a satisfying second chance romance.

(I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.)

This story is about a issue that is sometimes painful. William left home for a reason at 18 no one knew. He's back. Its a powerful story for his girl got hurt and he did as well. Annie Curtis is a strong character. The story is weaved around these 2 plus his mom. The story draws you in and it has you turning the pages to see what is happening next. There is small surprises in this story. But its worth reading the book. The ending is so neat. When all seems lost the best is yet to come. Its a great and worth reading.

I loved this book. It was an engaging read that drew you into the stories and the characters. It was beautifully written and even had a surprise at the end. I just couldn’t but this book down until I finished it.

Just not my cup of tea, even if it were served from Pop's PlaceMoon Over Main.

Having a writing style that captures and contains a reader’s attention, while also vividly painting a picture of the story in the mind’s eye is not easy. This author seems to do it with ease. Eagerly awaiting her next book.
