Can You Love Too Much?



Thank you to BookSparks PR and Berkley Trade for sending me a copy of The Good Wife.  This is the third book in the Brennan Sister Series.  I have a signed copy by Jane Porter to giveaway.


Synopsis:

This is Sarah’s story of the Brennan sisters.  She is a wife to Boone Walker the star baseball player who is leaning towards retirement.  He has had great spring training and is ready for the season.  Is Sarah after experiencing her mother’s death and angst among the family?   Sarah loves Boone and desires nothing more than a life together but can she trust him? 
Meet Lauren Summers who has recently had a loss of her own.  Her son Blake died in a car accident.  She decides to move from Napa to Alameda.  Will new surroundings help her reach toward the future?


My Thoughts:

Another novel to love by Jane Porter.  The Good Wife is full of raw emotion and love.  I wondered what the next chapter would be in this saga?  Could it possibly get any better?  The answer yes.  This novel not only includes a good story but “Baseball.”  I have never read a novel yet that focuses on what it is like to be a major leaguer's wife.   This side of the story was definitely interesting to me! Lauren’s story is not my favorite in the novel but it fulfills a purpose.  Her story coincides with Sarah’s and helps move the story along. 

 Readers will be very interested to see how this story might continue through Brianna’s eyes. 


Rating:

4.75/5

Part 2 of the Follower’s Love Giveaway

Have you ever wondered how Writer’s Corner came to be?                                        A blogger friend recently asked why did you start your blog?   I once said that I would never blog or write.   I was in a job search at the time and it was not going anywhere.   So I decided that I would work on my writing.   I found a nonpaying writing position with chicklitclub.com .   I started Writer’s Corner initially to practice what I wrote for that site.      The next part of the journey was meeting some great ladies that some of you know well Samantha Janning at Chick Lit Plus , Melissa Amster and Amy Bromberg from ChickLit Central , Laura Kay from A Novel Review , Pia from So Many Books So LittleTime , and last but not least Liz and Lisa fro...

The Importance of Complex Characters By Jacqueline Friedland

Image
Photo by Rebecca Weiss A couple of years ago, there was a debate in the literary world about “likeable” characters.   The question, essentially, boiled down to this: must a character be unpleasant, whether angry or aggressive, selfish, or all gloom-and-doom in order to be taken seriously as a literary character?   When the debate arose, the focus was primarily on female characters— if a female protagonist has too many redeemable qualities as a person, does this detract from her substance as a character in a story?   This query nagged at me and took on a new shape during my writing Trouble the Water , as I watched my two main protagonists undergo journeys of personal growth that left them both decidedly more pleasant than the people they were when the story began.   The question I needed to answer was whether depth and meaning are negated by personal recoveries? My own take, as a reader, is that if I am going to spend hours reading a novel, hanging out with cha...
