Fireside by Susan Wiggs
4.0
This story in the Lakeshore Chronicles series features Kimberly and Bo, but I found myself anxiously awaiting any mention of Daisy. Don’t get me wrong, I really like Kim and Bo. I am just so invested in Daisy and her life. I cannot get enough! If you are a Daisy fan like I am, be assured we get some good scenes with her in this story.
This book, although published 10 years ago as of my reading, couldn’t be more timely. The issues Bo’s son AJ has to deal with are at the forefront of today’s news cycle pretty much every day. I’ve never had to deal with these issues myself, but from what I can tell the author handled the situation well. She gave a lot of information without bogging down the story. I was able to feel AJ’s fear and heartache, Bo’s anger and protectiveness, all of it one big ball of anguish. Yet, the way everyone tries to keep AJ’s spirits up brings a lot of bright spots into the story.
There was an instant connection between Bo and Kimberly. Although I didn’t feel their chemistry as strongly as some of the other couples in this series, they are definitely meant to be together. Their chemistry almost came more from a place of comfort. I mean that in a good way. Comfort is what they both need in their lives and what AJ need in his life. The three of them together have a sort of safety and security that was felt by me as I was reading.
I’m enjoying some of the peeks into the lives of the younger generations in town. With this author’s magic, I’m sure some day I’ll be reading their HEA stories.
