LOVE RELEASED WOMEN OF COURAGE #1 is an amazing new series
by author Geri Foster. This book is a lot different from
her action packed Falcon Securities books but I believe it
will grab you and not let you go.
Cora Williams, was a doctor, born to a wealthy family but
had spent the last five years in prison. Once released she
finds they have turned their back on her completely and
her
only option is to go to a deceased aunt's home she
inherited and begin to rebuild her life. A few
complications arise ... she finds herself the guardian of
her
late sister's son, with her license revoked she can no
longer practice as a doctor and jobs are hard to come by
for everyone let alone a lone woman with a record. Top it
all off the sheriff of the town turns out to be a sweet
and
sexy war hero who is somewhat troubled himself. As the
truth slowly comes out about her past and the new friends
she didn't know she had (and a couple you don't expect)
come to her defense. It is eye opening to Cora as she is
doing her best for herself, her nephew and the people who
are slowly starting to mean a lot to her. If only the past
would stay in the past and leave her alone.
Ms. Foster takes us back to the 1940's with men returning
from the war and finding their lives would never be the
same. If you are of the right age it might just give you a
look into the world your parents lived in ... as mine did.
I
loved the quick witted dialogue, the different characters,
some good and some horrible and the fact that you can
actually feel what is going on in the small town this
author has put together.
Though I am not a fan of serials ... you know what I mean
...
the cliffhangers that leave you wanting more but you have
to wait for the next book to come out and sometimes to be
written. However in this case five of the books are
available,
but I can't help but hope for a few more of these riveting
reads.
SUMMARY
EMOTIONALLY GRIPPING! She’s running from a past, he’s duty-bound to protect her. He stands on the other side of sorrow and despair with a
love so vast and strong it reaches into her soul and sparks
the courage to become the woman she dares. Cora Williams is an ex-con with no place to go but Gibbs
City, Missouri. A small mid-western town where she hopes to
remain undisturbed and unobtrusive. With her nephew Jack,
her wants are simple, to hide from the horrors of her past. Sheriff Virgil Carter is a WW2 veteran with demons of his
own, but Parker County is his to protect. That includes a
young, beautiful woman newly released from prison who longs
to be left alone. Love often comes like sleep, softly, quietly and
unexpectedly. You just have to close your eyes and dream.
