My Review
“Wolf Creek Father” by Penny
Richards is another wonderful book centered in Wolf Creek, Arkansas,
that ties in wonderfully with her other Wolf Creek books, but stands perfectly
alone for it is with new characters who were only minor characters in
the prior books. I didn't remember these lovely characters from the
prior books, and I have to say that it is a shame, but made this book
a wonderful stand alone book.
I have to say that this book was
nothing like I expected it to be. Oh sure it seems as if the good
ole sheriff and the schoolteacher are at each other throats until
forced to work together, and with that I assumed certain things to
happen along the way. Well there is a saying about assuming and it fits me with this book that is for sure, and I am glad that it didn't go the way I thought for this was such much better. I must
admit that the first kiss took me by complete and total surprise for
that was something I never saw coming for I expected that first kiss
to be in another form. I have to admit I love these types of first
kisses, and more often than not I can see them coming a mile away,
but this time it took me by complete surprise and I loved it.
It seemed as every time there seemed to
be a step or two forward there were step backwards, or some left turn
came out of no where. I cheered on one or both of the characters as
they were struggling to get their problems under control while at
other times I wanted to knock some sense into one or both of them.
Then as things seem to finally start coming together, it seems as
something would pop up and blow things out to the wind so that the
story would keep going a little longer. I just couldn't put the book
down for I wanted, almost needed to know what was going to happen
next which resulted in being up a little (ok maybe a lot) past my bedtime again.
Allison is woman who has some issues to
deal with and I can understand why she feels the way she does, but
honestly at times she got on my nerves for she didn't seem to want to
move on. Then again, at the same time I saw part of me in her, and maybe
that is why she got on my nerves so much, to where maybe I need to
start rethinking some things. I have to say that it is pretty
remarkable when a reader can see a part of themselves in a fictional
character for that character then becomes just that much more special
to the reader. Her heart is there for anyone to see and it is a
tender heart that is for sure, and yet she shows how human she is
with the very first scene. I enjoyed seeing the different aspects to
Allison for usually we only see a few sides of a character but here
it seems like we see the whole Allison, warts and all.
Colt is a different type of man who is
a breath of fresh air in my opinion. Here is a man who is determined
to do what he thinks is best and ready to do so, while at the same
time he is avoiding some pretty serious truths about himself. So yes
he has his flaws and I loved how he had to confront those flaws.
Colt is an honorable man, stubborn and at times completely blind, but
none the less honorable. He loves his children and is willing to do
what he must for them and his job, though it is not exactly easy for
him at times. I so enjoyed when he becomes flustered and out of
sorts that is for sure.
I really can't wait for the next book
to come out, for in the author's note at the end of the book Ms.
Richards hints as to whose story is coming next, and boy I have to
say I can't wait for I was really hoping to hear one of those
characters, for I think this character really deserves a happy
ending. Now hearing who the hero and heroine is going to be I have
to say that I have to say that both characters deserves that happy
ending I love reading about. I so hope that all who read this book
enjoys it as much as I did.
