My Review
Other 'Barrett's Mill' Books
“Loving the Country
Boy” by Mia Ross is the latest book in her 'Barrett's Mill' series
and frankly not entirely sure if it is the end of the series or not,
but above all else it is a great stand alone book though it connects
nicely with the other books in the series. I found this book to be
so tender and perfect for a lazy day of reading.
There is just enough of a
struggle in the story to keep a person interested in seeing how it is
going to be resolved. I have to say that to this reader the struggle
wasn't always in the forefront of the entire story, but yet it was
there in small ways to remind the reader and the character that the
struggle is still there but daily life is important. Also though it
is really only one character struggling there is someone else who
helps push the character outside of where they were that makes the
struggling character stop and think about what they are doing.
Tess is a woman who is
learning several things about her family while she is doing what she
can to help out. Helping out when and where she can is something
that she really enjoys doing which shows her some new things about
herself. She has this spunk about her as well, something she learned
from out west and funny enough things that she learned out west
didn't always help her in the small town of Barrett's Mill. The
spunk though helped her wade through some interesting lessons within
her own family.
Heath is a man with a
plan but learns to go with the flow. At times I thought, “Here is
a hero that is a little perfect.” and then something happen that
knocked him off that hero pedestal in one fell swoop in the perfect
way, and in a way that hints about his past for some reason couldn't
do it. There is something wholesome and down to earth about Heath
but there is a little something else that makes him such a hero and I
won't spoil that discovery for others so I will leave it there.
The story started out
with Tess and Heath meeting in a different way, and frankly there
wasn't much attraction between them for I got the impression that
both of them were on completely different roads of life, but a
friendship grew and then so much more. I never felt rushed in the
slightest with the telling of the story for it seemed to move at such
a smooth pace that everything seemed to happened as it would in real
everyday life. Do I feel I am giving anything away, not really
considering this is a romance book which means of course there is
going to be a happy ending at the end of it all, the journey is
getting there, and this is a lovely story of getting to the end.
I loved the struggles and
especially the little bit of a surprise near the end of the book. I
hope all who pick up this book will enjoy it as much as I did.
