Today we're celebrating the release of Jackson, the first installment in the trilogy The McBrides of Texas by Emily March. I had the pleasure of reading this book before its publication and I wanted to share a little bit about this book with you. Take a look.
From New York Times bestselling author Emily March comes Jackson, the newest novel in the critically acclaimed Eternity Springs series.
Sometimes it takes a new beginning
Caroline Carruthers thinks she buried her dreams along with the love of her life…until a stranger named Celeste dares her to chase a dream all on her own. Moving to Redemption, Texas, is chapter one in Caroline’s new life story. Opening a bookstore is the next. Finding love is the last thing on her mind as she settles into this new place called home. But when she meets a handsome, soulful man who’s also starting over, all bets are off.
to reach a happily-ever-after
Jackson McBride came to Redemption looking only to find himself, not someone to love. Ever since his marriage ended, he’s been bitter. Sure, he used to believe in love—he even has the old song lyrics to prove it—but the Jackson of today is all business. That is, until a beautiful young widow who’s moved to town inspires a change of heart. Could it be that the myth of Redemption’s healing magic is true…and Jackson and Caroline can find a second chance at a happy ending after all?
¿Wanna read my review?
This was my first time reading this author, and despite being confused at the beginning of the story, I found myself enjoying this book a lot. The plot was a little slow in the first chapters, but little by little it was developing a steady rhythm I liked a lot. Trust me on this and be patient with the story, it will worth it!
One of the things I liked the most was that she didn't extend in the erotic side of the relationship between the main characters. I appreciated that, for real. Lately I've found myself skipping those bits on the books, I don't know why.
The romantic plot was sweet and well managed, with romantic conflicts you can relate with. The characters were lovely, a little broken some of them, with an inner fire that surprised me, enamored me, and made me admire them. The book was titled Jackson, but he wasn't the only McBride I met while reading, now I'm looking forward for Boone and Tucker's book.
