Good morning, readers!
I only have a couple days left of this trip to KS. After a couple of days in OK with family I'll be back home. Back to normal to kick off May.
In the mean time, let's finish April strong. I have next week's book review scheduled (you know, since I read these last two books out of order. LOL). This week's book...
It was impulsive of me, sleeping with Theo; he’s a rule-obsessed sheriff who’s SO not my type. Then again, Theo’s got this knack for making me feel seen, heard, and desired…
I’m Emma Jacobs, owner of The Pretty Pinecone, a romance-only bookstore. I can sell you the perfect love story, but I can't seem to write my own happy ending. When a rival bookstore threatens my beloved shop’s survival, I decide to offer wine tastings and poetry nights. There’s just one problem—Theo Baird, Sugar Pine's infuriatingly handsome yet uptight new sheriff. He’s determined to shut me down over every minor infraction.
Good thing that Theo’s good looking, because his personality is desperate need of a glow-up. And yet, no one challenges me the way Theo can. As my Valentine’s Day event approaches, featuring anonymous love confessions and Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s passionate verses, our boundaries begin to blur, and I wonder if maybe I’ve misread Theo all along. But then disaster strikes, and I must decide if I’m brave enough to risk my heart on the most daring venture of all—falling in love.
LET ME COUNT THE WAYS is a sparkling, small-town romance about finding courage in poetry, passion in the unexpected, and the one person who makes breaking the rules worthwhile.
Theo is a true hero; the characterizing having nothing to do with being 'the new sheriff in town'. We all come with baggage. Either what we carry on our own shoulders or what we bring in to a relationship. Emma and Theo both opened up their back pack of issues over a period of time through the book, at points when the information was important to that point in the story. Laurel didn't give us everything at once. She fed us what we needed at the appropriate times. She's a master story crafter that way and I look forward to reading more of her work.
Laurel built believable characters, giving them each their own badge of who they are. Some are a bit quirky, some need to loosen up a bit (and do when the time is right). I'd love to have a bookstore like The Pretty Pinecone, or even Emma's so-called competition book store across the street.
Let Me Count The Ways is part of a stand-alone series. I need to read the story of Emma's college room mate and Morgan's story. I encourage you to read anything by Laurel Osterkamp. I think you'll love her books as much as I am.
I'm giving LET ME COUNT THE WAYS...
