Relaxing Read! 'Looking for Leroy' - by Melody Carlson

 


About the book:

It's official: Brynna Phillips is done with men. They only break your heart. But just when she makes this declaration, her friend Jan convinces Brynna to join her on a camping vacation in Sonoma Wine Country.

As they wind their way toward their destination, spanking-new mini camper in tow, Brynna recalls her teenage camp romance with a boy named Leroy. How can it have been nearly thirty years ago? All she remembers is that Leroy was a genuinely good guy and that his family owned a vineyard--in Sonoma. She doesn't even remember his last name. Undaunted, Jan insists they look for him . . . and the search for a second chance at love begins.

My review:

This was an enjoyable story about a second chance at love!  I absolutely loved the setting; it sounded so beautiful and relaxing.  I really liked Brynna and I felt sorry for her for all of the sad things she'd gone through in her life and felt she deserved some happiness.  She was incredibly kind and selfless, even if she sometimes seemed indecisive.  Leroy was also a wonderful man who put his family first and had been heartbroken a couple of times and I so wanted them to find each other again!  There were some funny misunderstandings, near-miss meetings and a bit of family drama with his three daughters to make the story interesting.  His family and her friends really rounded out the story because they were all such characters and almost gave the story a small-town atmosphere.  There was also a little bit of a faith element and a little bit of romance.  I recommend this story if you're looking for a relexing and satisfying read!

I received a free copy of this book from Revell.  I was not compensated for this review.  All opinions are my own.
