THE LAWMAN'S SECOND CHANCE
Love In Bloom
After losing his wife to cancer, Lt. Alexander Steele vowed he'd protect himself and his children from that kind of loss again. But that was before he laid eyes on Lisa Fitzgerald. She welcomes him to town and immediately connects with his shy daughter, Emma. Yet Lisa is a cancer survivor herself, and so a reminder of everything Alex and his family suffered. Will a relationship with her be too much for him to bear? With their love growing even faster than Lisa's beautiful gardens, Alex has to decide whether he can risk his heart once more.
My Review:
This book kept me up until 1:00 a.m. because there wasn't a good place to stop reading and I just had to finish it! A beautiful story on so many levels. The author did the subject matter absolute justice -- with such compassion and humour and heart-tugging honesty.
I lost a very dear friend to breast cancer so this was an emotional read for me. I still get chills thinking about the lovely ways Herne's characters celebrated life and reverenced the memories of those who had lost the fight. That alone made it a wonderfully rewarding read.
Toss in three of the most adorable kids ever, an emotionally wounded hero who finds love in spite of himself and a heroine willing to make sacrifices for those she loves. Add Herne's outrageous humour. Blend with a hefty dose of heartwarming. And top the whole thing off with a thought-provoking inspirational thread and you have the perfect recipe for hours of reading enjoyment -- if you can make it last that long! The Lawman's Second Chance moved me and blessed me and comforted me. I hope it will do the same for you.

You're added, Merry.
ReplyDeleteSuffering makes one more compassionate to others in their time of need, often wonder if God doesn't give us a cross to bear just so we can be there for our neighbor who needs someone to care in his/her time of need. Would love to read this one just because of this subject. I know I just won a book - but hey can I try for this one too.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Becky! You can try for as many books as you want and we'll let random.org reign over the results! I like your idea about people being able to help others because of what they have been through. That's a huge blessing in the midst of so much hurt and, I think, it ends up lightening the load for both parties. Good luck on the draw.
ReplyDeleteYou're right Kav, we never know whose load we can help lighten when we show that we care. Count me in on this one .... rrwalter34ATgmailDOTcom
