More Than They Hoped
Caleb is an older man and a navy SEAL who is on medical leave and he heads to s small town where one of his colleagues lives with his wife and family. He attends a wedding as a friend of the groom and this is where he meets Grace, a teacher and friend of the bride. There is definitely chemistry between them but they get parted and don’t see each other till a few days later when he comes to pick up his friend’s little girl. Grace is very frosty towards him as he’d told her that he was unmarried and with no children. he is not happy with her reception and as he is so attracted towards her he persuades her to meet him to clear the air between them. Whilst still waiting to hear from the Navy he can’t bear to sit round being idle so he starts up a gym and gets the children really involved. I have read books by Flora Ferrari before and enjoyed them very much. This book is different and tackles topics that are not ‘easy’ such as PTSD to address but Flora does and with such sensitivity and compassion that makes it a truly beautiful story. If you haven’t read anything before by Flora then I encourage you to start with this latest book as it is so well written with plenty of passion between the main protagonists. Such interesting characters and a setting that all blend well together making this a great story.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Definitely recommended
