ABOUT THIS BOOK

Sober businessman Seb Ward may have come from a wealthy lumber-baron family in Minnesota, but he knows that appearances can be deceiving, and that his illustrious family is pretty dysfunctional. Being in another state has provided the buffer he sought from his father’s misdeeds, but when a little boy shows up on a train… a little boy who looks enough like Seb to be his own child… Seb’s faced with a dilemma. Raise the boy as his own, or let his mother suffer the embarrassment of “a brother by another mother.” And when the boy takes a shine to the Rachel Eichas, the newly contracted school teacher, Seb can’t help but do the same. But Rachel was raised by an unloving, business-first father and there’s no way she’s looking for those same qualities in a husband. Can she see through Seb’s focus and drive to find the loving man within?

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

Seb Ward kept to himself in their little town, that is until his little brother shows up on the train one day, unannounced! How could his dad do this to him? Well, that’s just how his dad it! Read the book to find out more about this sorry excuse for a dad!

Even though not many people knew Seb, when he started showing himself more, he was a likeable fellow. And I love the way he took his little brother,Eli in, loving him and making a special loving home for him.

I love this sweet story that sometimes wasn’t so sweet when Seb’s dad was involved. And I love how Seb, despite his upbringing was determined to make it on his own, being a loyal citizen of his town and maintain a good reputation. And Eli was just the sweetest five year old, and he misses his own mom so much he immediately takes a liking to husband school teacher Rachel, wanting to spend as much time with her as possible. But of course as in every town, there has to be the gossips that think they know everything and are more than willing to voice their opinions. But that’s what makes a story so good! And that’s why you need to read this story! “The Most Inconvenient Love” by Ruth Logan Herne is a story you don’t want to miss, especially if you love reading a sweet clean romance! I highly recommend this one!

Title: Just Let Go

Author: Courtney Walsh

Release Date: June 5, 2018

Genre: Contemporary Romance

For Quinn Collins, buying the flower shop in downtown Harbor Pointe fulfills a childhood dream, but also gives her the chance to stick it to her mom, who owned the store before skipping town twenty years ago and never looking back. Completing much-needed renovations, however, while also competing for a prestigious flower competition with her mother as the head judge, soon has Quinn in over her head. Not that she’d ever ask for help.

Luckily, she may not need to. Quinn’s father and his meddling friends find the perfect solution in notorious Olympic skier Grady Benson, who had only planned on passing through the old-fashioned lakeside town. But when a heated confrontation leads to property damage, helping Quinn as a community-service sentence seems like the quickest way out—and the best way to avoid more negative press.

Quinn finds Grady reckless and entitled; he thinks she’s uptight and too regimented. Yet as the two begin to hammer and saw, Quinn sees glimpses of the vulnerability behind the bravado, and Grady learns from her passion and determination, qualities he seems to have lost along the way. But when a well-intentioned omission has devastating consequences, Grady finds himself cast out of town—and Quinn’s life—possibly forever. Forced to face the hurt holding her back, Quinn must finally let go or risk missing out on the adventure of a lifetime.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK

I loved this book. So much so that I hated having to put it down for the non important things such as cleaning house or cooking dinner! Just Let Go was so realistic, so much like people everywhere today. And I love the Title because letting go and Letting God in on our problems would be so much easier than trying to fix them ourselves.

Quinn and Brady both had so many issues to fight through. But first they have to like each other because they didn’t get off to a very good start. Both had anger issues caused by heir past and they just didn’t want to let the past go. Would a real relationship work for the two?

Along with my love of story, the characters are fantastic and they make the story so much more interesting. Ms. Walsh deals with a lot issuess that so many people face today, it’s hard to pinpoint just one. And the plot flows so smoothly. I appreciate that this book is full of love and redemption, caring and loving people. This is an amazing Contemporary Fiction for anyone looking for a good clean fun read.
