BB’s Review: Redemption by Carolyn Davidson
Redemption

From the back cover:
Jack McPherson needed a bride…
He was a Civil War veteran, wounded body and soul. And when his wife died unexpectedly, he retreated from life, craving only solitude and his happy memories. But his young son needed a mother’s love and guidance—even if Jake wanted no woman himself. So who better to choose than the town’s spinster schoolmarm?
Alicia Merriweather wanted so much to love…
She had come to warn Jake his son was running wild. But she stayed because beneath his gruff exterior she saw Jake’s pain and loneliness. Having borne the brunt of ridicule all her life, tall, plain Alicia understood both all too well. But could Jake ever learn to share his home and his heart?
This was such a good book. Once I started to read, I really couldn’t put it down. Talk about challenges, Jake McPherson’s character is such a brute. His words to her are so harsh; you’ll find yourself swearing out loud at him while you read the book! Really, I did! Alica Merriweather is the typical schoolmarm. Too tall and larger than most women in town, she feels she has nothing to offer. As you read, you find they both have so much to offer each other. It is a beautiful love story once she can get him to start living again. You’ll love it!
I give this story 3 cocktails.

I sometimes quit reading if one of the main characters treats the other harshly. However, if I continue on, I may be rewarded with a story where two troubled souls finally find their soulmate. This sounds like just such a story. Thanks, BB!
