Sounds and Spirits
Hemlock Creek #2
by Josie Kerr
Forty-eight-year-old Liddie Hopewell doesn’t quite know what to do with herself after her husband passes away after a long illness. When one of her beloved uncles encourages her to come back to Hemlock Creek, she heads home, with her daughter and granddaughter in tow.
Tobias Harper moved back to north Georgia after three decades in Nashville, hoping to recharge and regroup. A successful musician and songwriter, Tobias is searching for inspiration but a vindictive ex-wife and the ghost of his overbearing father seem to be all he’s finding.
High school sweethearts more than three decades before, Liddie and Tobias have a chance meeting at the local tavern. A second unexpected encounter leads to answers of long-unresolved questions. Will Liddie and Tobias be able to rebuild the relationship they once had, or will the burden of the past prove to be too much for their newly-rekindled love affair to bear?
My Rating:
Favorite Quotes:
I don’t know how you didn’t go crazy, Mimi. What did you
guys do for fun? Chase goats? Make cheese?
I had myself a little Steel Magnolias come-undone, complete
with finding the flower arrangement she sent and running it over with my car…
Backed over it three times and then put it back in the reception area. That was
not my finest moment. She just made me so damn mad… She just had the
unmitigated gall to be twenty years younger, fifty pounds lighter, and about
five inches taller.
Marty raised his eyebrows so high they shifted his toupee
back on his head...
And for the record, the biggest thing about Tobias is
his heart and his kindness, but, honey, everything is physically proportional,
and that, my dear, is mighty fine.
My Review:
Book two in the series provides more
delightfully amusing, eye-popping, sheet-scorching, and heart-squeezing excellence
from the smooth and clever wordsmith known as Josie Kerr. I
couldn’t read fast enough to get to the mysterious secret that had been deeply
buried for thirty years, I thought I knew what it was, but I was wrong. Multiple tropes and genres were tapped for
this well-crafted tale as it was part second-chance adult romance and part
family drama with small-town complications, clever humor, and southern
flavoring. It was a quick, entertaining,
and spicy read that kept me smirking. I
mourned finishing and yearned for more.
Write faster Ms. Kerr; you have provoked an addiction that you are now required
to feed.
