Good morning, friends!
Kicking of November. Are you ready? Feeling overwhelmed already? Let these Thoughtful Monday posts rediredt your mind.
Good morning, friends.
I'm running behind this morning. My back has decided to be a pain, literally. Not sure why but I am moving slower this today.
I thought this week's title was the perfect way to close October. Aren't there times when we wish something could go on forever?
When Lucy Wheeler returns to her family’s gothic hotel on the shores of Lake Michigan, she’s hoping for a quiet reset after losing her job in the city. Instead, she’s juggling fussy brides, quirky tourists, and her mom’s ambitious plan to turn the grounds into a haunted village. The last thing she needs is another distraction… especially not a grumpy contractor who insists on getting under her skin.
Cameron Fox didn’t come to Underwood looking for distractions, either. As a single dad, he’s focused on finishing this haunted village project and keeping his distance from the stubborn hotel heiress, whose quick wit keeps pulling him in. What starts as bickering and flirtation soon turns into an agreement: they’ll just have a casual fling until his contract is up at the end of October. No strings attached.
As the leaves change
colors and the days get shorter, Lucy and Cameron can’t help wishing October
would last forever.
The Underwood Hotel sounds like a beautiful hotel to visit throughout the year. I mean, who thinks to bring in carpenters to build a small haunted village? Or to think ahead to Christmas in much the same manner? I will say, Cameron Fox (aptly named) has the skills in more ways than one, but we'll get to that in a minute. He appears to be a really great dad.
I personally know someone who had the exact same thing happen to him, causing the divorce and shared custody of their son. The casualties are many but in the story, Cameron is determined to be a part of his son's life on a daily basis and is a big factor in his life changing decisions.
As Lucy remembered all the things she loved about her family legacy, the more she became a part of the hotel and all the offerings. While she was technically an adult when she left home. she returned more mature and able to see things both from her mom's point of view and what the hotel meant to her, her parents, and the community. She was ready to be a part of something lasting.
While there were a couple of explicit scenes (showing Cameron's other skills) in the story, for some reason these didn't bother me nor detract from the story. I also wasn't crazy about some of the language, and am not happy with it, I understand the cussing is part of the society. Not necessary, but natural in today's world.
Katie Cawood does an excellent job of bringing the Underwood Hotel to life with all of the history and nuances that make the hotel special and worth making October last forever.
I'm giving OCTOBER FOREVER...
