I know it has been a few days since last post. With a family comes lots of running around. While I try and read as much as I can when I'm not busy, it is ball season for baseball, and I have nieces and nephews I go support, plus I love to just hang with my family and watch a good game. So now, after a few days of trying to read Promise Cove (A Pelican Novel) - Vickie McKeehan, I finally finished it about five minutes ago. Being that I am potty training my almost two-year-old daughter, it may take me a little longer to finish books than it did before. Sorry for any delays.
Okay, so reading this took me a while to get into it. First, this is a romance. Second this has a little bit of military stuff that is talked about. Third, this is a kindle download I got free from www.amazon.com. Most of the books I have been reading have been downloaded from there. If I don't have them on my kindle then they are actually books that I bought, mainly from Books A Million a.k.a B.A.M. Love the store. I love B&N too, but I spend more time at a mall that has B.A.M than I do in the opposite direction that has B&N.
So now the characters in the beginning are Scott Phillips, or should I say Cpt. Scott Phillips, and Scott Harris, or Lt. Scott Harris. It starts out in Iraq as they are traveling via Humvee to go where ever it is they were going when and IED explodes. And we all know where this maybe going. Phillips is telling Harris about life back home, his wife Jordan and their baby girl Hutton, when the IED goes off.
A year later Scott takes the trip from his home town, after recovering from a war wound, in L.A. up to Pelican Pointe to visit with his late Captains wife and daughter. He was only going to go up and explain to her what happened, then leave. As it turns out when he got there he found a mess. One in which he couldn't just turn away from and leave. Instead of telling her about knowing Scott, he helps Jordan fix up the bed and breakfast that she is trying to open in living out her late husband's dream.
As the days and weeks progress things turn and feeling come up that neither was expecting. And if you want to know how it all goes you will have to download the book yourself and read it.
For me though it took me a bit to get into it. Let's just say that at first I thought it would be a good story, then as I read I would start to get bored reading it, but then just as I would get ready to take it back to the home page and just delete and forget about it, up would creep a good part that kept me reading it. All-in-all it is a good book. Just seemed like a slow read to start. It could be that I have just been so busy in regular life that it felt like a slow read. Al I can say is enjoy.
As they say at the end of Ghost Hunters on SYFY network "On to the next." I believe the next one may be a teen/YA called I'm Not Her - Janet Gurtler. I won't promise to actually finish it. If I can't finish it because it doesn't hold my interest I will let all my lovely readers know.
Thank you for reading. Questions, comments, and recommendations are welcome. I will read about almost anything that catches my interest, but not thrillers or scifi that has weird space people in them. I can handle vampires and werewolves, maybe some other fictional creature that may be out there, but space themed books and thrillers that have people being hacked up aren't my thing. Believe me I have tried them both, just don't get them. Sorry to those who write those kind of stories like Star Wars, Star Trek, or any others like that or anyone who writes things like James Patterson or Stephen King. Once again thank you for reading.
