A House Full of Surprises!

Baggage Check is the third book in the Marriage Pact series.  This novel focuses on Rebecca.  She is a flight attendant for an airline based out of Atlanta.  I had an opportunity to meet M.J. Pullen recently, and I can’t wait to read her other novels.

Synopsis:

Rebecca receives a phone call from her frantic mother while on vacation with her friends.  Her mother does not want to leave her house.  Rebecca is not excited about sticking around when all her friends are married.  She makes the trip back to Alabama to find out what is going on with her mother.  Rebecca visits her old home where she grew up but it is full of surprises.  I mean full of surprises.  So much so that she creates a scene and deputy Alex stops by to check on her.  Rebecca becomes responsible for taking care of her mother and fixing the house.  Will she let Alex help?  Or will she allow her friends from Atlanta help?    

   
My Thoughts:

I enjoyed the story.  I have to admit that I enjoyed seeing what surprise Rebecca’s old home would bring to the story.   She also became a character that I wanted to root for and see find a happy ending.  Alex is the perfect mate for Rebecca.  He has his issues as well but brings the story to a satisfying conclusion.   

I cannot wait to see what M. J. Pullen chooses to share next!                            
                                                                                                                                                         
Rating:

4.5/5

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

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...
