About the Book: Sometimes love takes you on an adventure completely off the map.
Mallory Hale's life quickly veers off course when she falls
hopelessly in love. After a whirlwind romance, Mallory finds herself
leaving the bustle and action of Capitol Hill for the remote town of
Moses Lake, Texas-with husband, stepson, and a U-Haul in tow.
A
sweet, mishap-filled journey into marriage, motherhood, and ranch
living ensues, and Mallory is filled with both the wonderment of love
and the insecurities of change. But what she can't shake is the unease
she feels around her husband's new boss, Jack West. Jack's presence-and
his mysterious past-set her on edge, and when hints of a scandal emerge,
Mallory finds herself seeking answers . . . and comes to realize that
the middle-of-nowhere home she wasn't sure she wanted is the very place
she'll risk everything to save.
My Thoughts: I'm a bit conflicted with this one. I loved the storyline (though I did feel that the ending was somewhat of a let down), enjoyed all the heroines and loathed all the villains, but I didn't really enjoy Wingates style of writing. At least not always. Sometimes I did really enjoy it, and other times I didn't. Very helpful, right? This is totally a personal preference so don't let that deter you. Her style sometimes reminded me slightly of Anne Voskamp (whose writing style many people adore). I just don't think most people in real life are that in tune with other people's emotions, thoughts or motives. Some people might think in prose style language, but I don't, and I guess I also don't "get it" either. Well, I get it, it just doesn't do anything for me. I think I like that style of writing more when she was describing scenery and things like that, but not so much when it was inner dialogue. If that makes sense. But like I said, that's just a personal preference. If you enjoy that style of writing, then you will love this book!
