GOOD THURSDAY ALL

 Good morning all , its Friday eve and I can't wait for the weekend. Today I have a new book from Lynn Burke  RELUCTANT LUMBERJACK . 

                           BOOK BLURB

  Twenty years ago, I loved a woman

Twenty years ago, I also loved a man.

And twenty years ago, rather than choose, I abandoned them both.

Now, I’m living a lonely life, luckless in love and unwilling to confront the truth of what I left behind.

Because of Charlotte.

Because of Liam.

My two best friends, the ones I’d been reluctant to pursue but couldn’t deny.

Attempting to avoid facing my past doesn’t work, and I see them both—together. They appear to have moved on while I can’t.

I still want her.

I still want him.

But secrets lay between us, betrayals that threaten to crack the egg shells we walk on.

I’ve got more than my own heart to look out for now, and I’ll protect those I love this time around.

No matter the cost.

                       MY REVIEW

 Twenty years ago Nolan left them both, he ran away from the two people he loved more ten anything . He was torn between his two best friends and fled instead of confronting his feelings . Well it is twenty years later and his niece needs him , so back to the town that holds so many memories good and bad for him . To the little girl who will become his world and the two best friends that will bring him back to life. 

  The characters are wonderfully written and complex . Nolan is a tortured soul , he is torn between the two loves of his life. He is a big burly man who is gruff and possessive . There is a broken soul buried deep inside that just really needs to heal . He is gentle and oh so sweet when he lets his guard down. Liam is a confidant man who knows what he wants and will get it when the time is right . Deep down he is still the vulnerable young man that is still fighting for what he wants. Charlotte is the girl next door living in the same small town . She is not really confidant about anything. She is a curvy girl who has been knocked down all her life . When they are all together they really bring out the best in each other . They truly belong together as a family. 

  This is a book that you will be hooked by the end of the first chapter . The characters are so relatable and intense . You will like them when you first meet them and fall in love with them by the end of the book.  The author can really paint a picture of a tortured soul and the ways that that tortured soul can be saved . This book really tore at my heart strings , I felt like all the characters needs hugs . This is a book where you need to carve out a couple of hours to curl up and read, because once you start you will not put it down until you are finished . This is a great book for your fall reading challenge. So check it out.
