*** Gifted by the Author for an honest review***
I have followed this series from the first book Black Hills Angel, the book is free , so what are you waiting for?
These characters end up like close friends, I have loved catching up with them through each new book.
Ms Wilson has a style of writing that is easy to just immerse yourself into, where you connect with the characters and join them in their struggles and triumphs as each book evolves.
I do like this type of series, where each book feature a couple, but where the secondary characters are well developed and are very strong supporting members to the overall story. And that as the series developed we catch up with the lives of the rest of the family.
In a way I am sad writing this review as other than the novellas this is the last in this series. I will wait impatiently for her next series!
But there was loads packed into this book and by the end I had laughed, cried, hung with baited breath as I devoured the paragraphs.
While reading this book I was lucky that the local Rodeo was on, and boy watching the sections with the steers, I recalled the descriptiveness of a certain passage, and the tension and drama were written brilliantly to bring across the reality of the scene.
This book was a very emotional read, due to a personal experience I could really relate when reading the parts where Travis was in hospital, and Lacey and the family was waiting desperately for news. It really had me in tears, but experiences like this make you reflect on where you are in life and make changes, to be grateful for the little things in life - FAMILY, LOVE these are the things that are important, and this book is a great read when you want a story that will make you remember this.
Nothing lasted forever and it was the joy in the moment that made life
This quote is something that I am really trying to live by at the minute, my life is so up in the air at the minute. BUT I have my health(on the mend) and my family and when the grandkids smile and say hows your arm grandma and give me a hug, nothing makes me feel better than that.
IF you need a book to escape to because your life is not that great at the minute, I recommend this series to get lost in, to reset and reflect on whats really important.
some of the quotes I highlighted while reading are:
Please grant me the wisdom to see a way out of this storm. Give me strength to support...
Also I love is that the faith of the characters is shown, but is in no way shoving religion down the readers throats, I am not a church going person, but I do have faith and when times are really tough I have prayed (hospital being the last I really and truly prayed that things would turn out good) Ms Wilson has shown she is a truly gifted writer who can create such a beautifully emotionally packed story to reflect the characters pain and emotional state.
Be Accountable. Be Useful. Work Hard. Learn Fast. Never, ever quit.
I highlighted this and I printed it out... so I can look at it at times when I do want to quit, so THANK YOU Ms Wilson, for inspiring me ... and making me want to move!!!!
I am a country girl at heart, and I would love a magic genie so I could wish to live in Hot Springs, South Dakota!
oh and snow... I miss SNOW!
SO in finishing - *5 awesome stars, I loved every minute of the book.
I will be reading them again no doubt when I need a series guaranteed to lift my spirits up.
