Aspen Cove Book 7
Kelly Collins invites you back to Aspen Cove, the charming mountain town where dreams never die and love lives on forever...
Poppy Dawson has spent her entire life wanting what she can’t have—namely Mark Bancroft, Aspen Cove’s deputy sheriff. Growing up the daughter of a cattle rancher, she’d had no time for silly things such as love. But after watching her terminally ill mother wither, Poppy realizes that life is not only unpredictable, it’s short. She has to decide if she’ll settle for the life laid out for her or the life she desires.
Abandoned by his no-good father at the age of eight, Mark Bancroft has spent over twenty years trying to redeem his family name. He’s been a good man. An honest man who’s been in love with Poppy Dawson ever since he can remember. But when his father stole everything from the Dawsons and left town, he took Mark and Poppy’s future with him. Done carrying the burden of his father’s crimes, Mark sets out to win her heart, but first, he must win her father’s respect.
Can a decades-old family feud be ended for love? Find out in One Hundred Lifetimes.
My Review:
You’re going to need the tissues. It’s just that simple. I haven’t cried this hard over a book in a very long time. And while the story is sweet and wonderful and made me giggle at some of the most inopportune moments, I still feel a little hollow after all the emotions that have been wrung from me. This is another of those books where I don’t know how to say just how amazing Mark and Poppy’s story is without giving away the best parts of the book… Or maybe they’re the “worst” parts because they’re certainly the ones that caused the most pain and had the biggest emotional impact. I know my own personal history affected me in how easily I could identify with Poppy and how deeply I could feel her hurts. All I know for certain is that no matter that I won’t be able to see through my tear-swollen eyes tomorrow, I can’t wait until it’s time to come back to Aspen Cove again. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
